Haha - my man from BC perhaps?

Hi Chak, long shot, don’t suppose you have a BB tool for older cup and cone BB? One of these types:

Nice I’ll take it, pm incoming

Afternoon, I'm after tools for the same style of BB as jwharrison - Any chance I could borrow them for an evening this week? I'm SW2
TIA

Hi mate, thanks - am sorted for grips now (and a couple other bits, will amend).
Let me investigate the cassette this eve but may take you up on it.

Picked up this 1990 Marin Palisades at the weekend and can’t quite decide what to do with it! Thinking fat tan wall slicks, ditch two chainrings and run it 1X. Do love the neon. Needs new cables throughout, chain, cassette, saddle... oh and I can’t get the BB out at the mo...

Hiya, PM'd re saddle if still around.

I'll take the black saddle and grips if still available?

Hi all, looking for:

• a cheep pair of tan wall 26" tyres to get an old mtb up and running. Nothing too knobbly - for city and towpath use. SORTED
  
• flat pedals - metal - something cheep and cheerful!
  
• grips SORTED
  
• 7 speed cassette - possibly a long shot.
  sorted
  Whats anyone got knocking about?
  TIA
  

Nothing more expensive than a cheap bike

Kati, is the seatpost still available? If so what length is it?

Interesting. At some point in this bikes history the front shifter has been cut off the brake lever unit, and a grip shift put on - I despise them. So might make this 1x. If I can pick up a cheap derailleur and thumb shifter I’ll increase it from 7sp...

Hahah there’s not many in Brixton and I have a genesis hardtail for my gentle excursions into mtb world

Hmmm I do already have a SS basket-equipped round-town/commuter bike though.

To get it running again it needs at a minimum chain, cassette, BB (seized in and so so rough) cables, pads and tyres. And grips and saddle I suppose.

Picked up this today for small change off one my old man’s mates. Dead rusty, but solid frame. Not quite sure what to do with it... old school gravel bike for the mrs? Rat bike for the city? Fat tyre SS? Bin it?
Inspire me!

Thanks MJM. Per PM - Dibsed on espresso wheelset!

Hey mjm, PM'd also

Hello mate, interested in the TRP Hylex - PM incoming!

the Kent lanes influencer tax

I don't think you're even allowed on the Kentry lanes without a bar-bag and a gilet are you?

Not everyone's cup of tea, I think, bar bags...
Anyway I've wanted one for a little while, but I think it's obscene spending a minimum of 50 of my hard earned quids on a small pouch of cordura and a zipper...
So, I embarked on a lockdown mini-project. A few days later, £5 for a bit of cordura fabric, £3 for a zipper, some old bits of webbing, lots of mis-stitches, more pin-pricks in the fingers than I can count, and a new-found healthy respect for those masters of the dark-arts of sewing machine use, and we have a bar bag!

Pretty chuffed with it all told... Some bits ent pretty, the stitching is not straight, even remotely, but pretty happy.
MYOG is the way forward I reckon!

Hey mate, I'll be taking some proper photos and popping it up in the classifieds section this week probably. Would you be interested? Drop me a PM if so.

Thanks man, it's a fine machine and has done many miles of good service.
I'm 6ft2; it's a 58cm frame or thereabouts (I'll do a proper measure-up if I sell). And it's Mavic Aksium Race wheelset.
I shall check out the other thread, thanks!

Hi all,
Long time lurker on this forum, but a first-time poster.
This is my old Dolan road bike which I'm considering selling due to space and time shortages! It was built up from frame and fork (carbon fork, carbon seatstays) about 15 years ago, with full shimano ultegra 9 speed (old school...), and doesn't, according to Dolan themselves, even have a model name!
This is the bike that got me into cycling but has now been superseded by (many) other bikes. I've been using it on the turbo all winter, and recently replaced BB and jockeys. I think the last time it went outside was about September 2019...
Anyone have a view as to if it's worth selling - anyone know what I could expect to sell it for?
It's in good nick apart from age-related wear here and there, and it's still a lovely bike to ride - but i never ride it!
