This looks interesting! https://boogaalibikes.com/ I've heard that bamboo frames ride really nicely, if I ever get to visit Kampala again before retirement I'll be sure to visit this maker.

Hi there Is there anything on this site or another website where I can view vintage bikes - don't mean penny farthings, etc but old style retro "racing" bikes for example, preferably Bianchi! I did have a look through the photo gallery but couldn't see anything. Thanks in advance J

Well my bikes on its way to Hungary for the start of the Transcontinental Race. Unfortunately the start is in Bulgaria. But that does not appear to matter to the shipping company. I thought I had made it clear enough.

Has anyone used Bikes Direct to buy a bike? The prices look good, but i dont want to get a ripped off.

A neighbour is having a clearout, so I'm showing these on here to see if anyone is interested in any of these four bikes. Pre-war Raleigh, with removable crossbar: Serial number could be 592738 1950s Phillips......... Pre-war Gazelle New Hudson. Serial number could be C492 As...

I've recently seen a 2016 Specialized Chisel 650b going for £250 and a GT Elite Avalanche frame and forks going for £70. Both bikes were in superb condition. What's with the crazy low prices? I never see 29ers fetch this little second hand.

They are not just aimed at beginner, unexperiened, non cyclists. They are ridden by professional, ex professional, cyclists, mtbers all over the world....people need to stop this fascination that they are only ridden by idiots and unexperienced riders. Its getting boring people, move on....they...

Some very good news about T.P.E changing their policy that required 24 hour advance booking of bikes on their trains. See link below: https://tpexpress.co.uk/travelling-with-us/travelling-with-a-bike

I'm 6ft 2inch, should I go with Large or extra large. I had a giant defy large a few years back and always felt I needed bigger. What's other people's experiences? I am considering a giant or triban in the £500 to £700 price range are there any others I should be considering. Looking for...

I know nothing about them so hopefully I can learn soething on here. 100km range and recharges in 3 minutes. Can that be correct? https://fuelcellsworks.com/news/engie-acquires-200-pragma-industries-hydrogen-fuel-cell-bicycles/ https://www.pragma-industries.com/products/light-mobility/

Another new bike question here . After spending a fortune on my new full carbon bike and wanting to keep it in tip top condition . How do you all treat your good bikes ? Do you go out in shitty weather with them even if its summer or just keep them for dry summer days ? When do you retire the...

A few years ago, it seemed as though Rohloff speedhubs would be everywhere but they seem to be still a niche gear choice. But I still want a steel Rohloff-equipped on and off-road touring / bikepacking bike, that I can also use for commuting, including in our cold and icy winters here in...

It was half day Friday and raining again, but before I headed home it was off to the bike shop to pick up some Demo bikes. I have a bunch of newbies joining myself and a few other riders on the trail deep in the heart of Winchentucky tomorrow. Will be encouraging the riders to try the different...

This is unfortunate. But if you had €72000 of bikes in a truck or van. Wouldnt you have someone stay with the van overnight.? https://singletrackworld.com/2019/05/e72-000-worth-of-bikes-stolen-from-propain-bicycles/

Mods -If this has already been posted on the forum please delete. If you are thinking of getting in to cycling and buying your first bike, please read this. Great advice, and all it is going to cost you is the time it takes to read. The money & stress it can potentially save you is far greater...

Hi there can any body tell me what rearbike rack would fit my canyon 2016 fitness bike. Im wondering as the bike is fitted with disc brakes and have to consider the caliper. Also has anyone had experience of light touring on the canyon Al6 fitness bike. Any advice welcome... Thankyou!

Going to Portugal next week and plan on hiring a bike for a couple of days. What experience does anyone have of taking helmets in luggage? Anyone ever had their helmet smashed in luggage for example? Probably not even a problem and I'm overthinking it really! Thanks

I ve been looking at the range of sonder bikes from alpkit im interested in the Santiago but with the 1x11 drivetrain rather than triple set up has anyone got a sonder bike and how do you find them.

Decided to ride over to Halifax to watch the tour de yorkshire. No bikes allowed in the piece hall, and no provision for additional cycle parking. Should have driven the 4x4 over obviously....

Right I can see not allowing bikes in shops but on hygiene grounds come off it. What next every customer has to pass though the sheep dip before you walk in? https://www.cyclingweekly.com/news/latest-news/sainsburys-bike-parking-refusal-hygiene-grounds-begs-question-customers-remove-shoes-421897

I'm considering buying and renovating a vintage road bike as my next project. This is completely new to me and I will likely have lots of questions so thought I would try and keep them in one place - so here goes! - Sizing and geometry. I am a 57cm on modern road bikes and tend to use a 100mm...

58cm road bike frame, can take front wheel off but don't want to take back wheel off or adjust saddle: Hyundai I40 estate Vauxhall Insignia hatchback Bentley Bentayga Toyota Avensis ?

Can anyone fill in the gaps ? I am interested because l have just bought a bike frame from someone who has a Ottadini badged Vitus which in itself seems unusual. https://www.facebook.com/pg/Smith-London-174988042519858/photos/?tab=album&album_id=354460591239268

some bikes moved out while I was tidying workshop.

I was in Sainsburys today reading Cycling and noticed how expensive Ribble bikes have become. The beauty above is over £6200. How does a small company like this compete against the posh bike giants like Pinerello, Bianchi, etc etc?

I remember the old 4 speed, then it went to 3 speed, then to 5 speed, but now seem to be rare, the de-railing of the chain to another gear seems more popular maybe because today it is more positive than in days gone by. However although riding my bike I will change on sprocket at a time, wife...

To celebrate @Almartino getting a job for September, I have booked us a little bike tour for May half term. We are driving down to the south coast, staying in Deal over night and catching the early morning ferry to Dunkirk (leaving the car in Dover). From there, ride to Ypres and stay for 2...

I have seen in a few places cable splitters, which largely seem designed to be used on bikes with frames you can split, as it makes the two pieces genuinely separate. Example from SJS here https://www.sjscycles.co.uk/cables/jtek-cable-splitter-for-inner-brake-wire-black/ It occurred to me that...
