My "pavement special" needs some TLC if it is going to get round CTCT again and I need some parts. It is a Hansom rigid steel frame "mountain bike" from about 1990. It still has an original Shimano "Biopace" chainring. But it is worn and needs to be retired. I an happy to replace it with a conventional round chainring (I will keep the old one in case someone wants to restore it to original one day) but for the moment I want to ride it. The original is a combined item with chainring riveted onto the cranks. So I need a 3x (7 speed) chainring, 48, 38, 28 teeth (but wider ratios could be fun) on ..read more

HI there, I have a vintage bike that needs restoration. AS far as I can see there isn't much to be done to the framework but it has been in storage for many years and will need new brakes (I think) and new tyres ..read more

…something about this add looks “off”; maybe just me, the price s-E-E-m-s to me to be low, as if this was a previously liberated bicycle? Or is that indeed what they fetch? No slight intended!   Pretty ingenious folding handlebar/s! https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/662283442668604/?ref=search&referral_code=null&referral_story_type=post&tracking=browse_serp%3A4eff6f35-7c72-493b-bea2-8d1e506bc38c Anyway, never seen one before, interesting bike!

Greetings, I am earnestly in search of a bicycle that resembles the one I cherished during my high school days. Back then, I owned a Hansome racing bike featuring a Reynolds 525 frame, a Shimano 105 groupset, and a custom paint job in the colors of the Pretoria show. I believe it had a 62cm frame size, which suited my height of 1.96 meters. Please refer to the provided image for a visual reference. I would greatly appreciate any assistance in connecting with someone who possesses a similar bicycle and is willing to part with it. It is imperative that the bike is in its original condition. Warm ..read more

Hey fellow hubbers. I'm looking for some advise. I've purchased a steel frame Lejeune and restored the bike from top to bottom.  Once I serviced the bottom bracket and refitted the crank, I tightened a bit too much and the nut holding the crank in place snapped off. It is therefore stuck in the bb spindle. I'm really annoyed as I was nearing the end of the project and I went and made this balls up.  So my question is, which of the following steps is best: 1) Should I remove the entire spindle style bottom bracket and cups and replace with a new sealed bottom bracket? My only worry ab ..read more
