  • I'm interested in recreating small older bike parts that are no longer in production. This would mean that historical bikes (40's-80's) which are the backbone of cycling history, can be kept viable and not be scrapped for the lack of a £10 part.

    I have a number of worthwhile and profitable items in mind, so please PM me if you fancy a chat.

  • I’ve sent you a DM, always up for fun projects, especially if profitable.

    @Dogtemple - what sort of parts that don’t otherwise exist have you made? The big project sounds intriguing, best of luck with it. Yeah those old tech heads are genuinely impressive. I was speaking with a retired engineer* from Rolls Royce’s jet division, and was struck by the breadth and depth of his expertise around metal and doing things with metal. Some mates and I keep an eye out for deals on tools, and this is currently what’s in the workshop, plus a few other bits. Excuse the mess…

    • called himself an engineer; I don’t know if that means a technician/engineer or a technical designer/engineer. 🤷‍♂️

  • Is that an old Myford lathe? I had one of those a few years ago to restore, but kids got in the way and I sold it on.

    I have a reasonable amount of machining experience (lathes & mills) but very rarely get to do any nowadays.
