Had one in the early 90s, just bought this identical :-)

The reason for this is because the sti brake shifters didnt work well with V brakes so I wanted to use Tektro drop bar levers for V brakes which are great. The other option would have been bar end shifters but WHERE WOULD I PUT MY MIRROR ????? so removed the steel band from the clamp and they...

I love facebook marketplace, so in addition to the complete Boardman bike that I bought for £90 last week, I have just bought this lovely pair of wheels with s/s spokes and super strong rims, virtually brand new PLUS 3 pairs of tyres 23c and 25c, I paid £60 for that lot, so a quality bike plus a...

Had one years ago, more expensive and not as good, so not everthing is more expensive

I ordered these from China that attach to flat bars and turn them into drops, just an experiment as I haven't tried them yet, but on the face of it they offer, drops as wide or narrow as you like, you can use drop bar brake/shifters, or flat bar shifters, or bar end shifters, you can adjust the...

Only in the past few years have I used a rear view mirror and I cant think why I didnt use one before, it may just be that there is more choice and they are better than they used to be maybe ? Just wondering how many use one ?

I bought some of these for V brakes and can confirm that they work perfectly, I have them paired with top mounted cyclo x style levers, they also have a neat QR button for whel removal https://www.chainreactioncycles.com/tektro-rl520-drop-bar-brake-levers/rp-prod34840

I really like these huge Ding Dong bells, click and collect from Halfords at £6.99 https://www.halfords.com/cycling/bike-accessories/mirrors-bells-and-horns/halfords-traditional-chrome-bell-382770.html

I always have a big shiny "ding dong glock", I have tried those silly pingers...i rate them only moderately above useless, but these are fab and elicit a pleasant response from pedestrians, you can ding dong from about 50 mtrs and still be heard, £7.00 !!, here it is in action...

These have intrigued me, I struggle to find drop bars wide enough for my liking, there are gravel bars around now but the quoted 55cm width etc is often at the flared drops, its very hard to find drop bars that are over 460mm wide on the hoods and even if you can they tend to be very expensive...

This Raleigh for sale locally £80 does anybody know anything about it ? I may buy it, it is very lightweight

I have never had a bike without full mudguard fitted (apart from the 2 times I rode the Dartmoor Classic when I owned a Felt road bike). I go out off-road with a bunch of guys now and again and am the only one that uses full fitted mudguards and the only one that doesnt get covered in crud, I...

Just wondering how many have an Ebike, I bought this in 2016 and it's been great, on second battery but original is still pretty good

Electronic groupsets, my local dealer claims that they will become the norm on even cheap bikes, I can't see that happening myself, but rather than state my opinions on this "advance" I wonder what people here think. I am not talking about pro level competition where I accept every microsecond...

For old times sake :) a Cyclists Touring Club (CTC) Decal :)

Just fitting a £4.50 cycle computer, to get the wheel circumference just measure the tyre diameter and multiply by Pi (3.142) far easier than rolling between two points and measuring, never thought of that before !!
