Not mine but looks pretty good. £400 -
Lovely Merckx MX leader f&f - Ebay £795

If you do go for drop bars it’s a good idea to have the correct cable pull to suit the v brakes or cantis - I got these & they feel really nice & only £18 at the moment:

or if you’re quick a set for a tenner on ebay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Tektro-RL520-Drop-Bar-Brake-Levers-Silver-/282652115147?_trksid=p2141725.m3641.l6368
My original cantis were in a state so gave up & got some V brakes which were a doddle to set up & sit over the biggish mudguards well. I’ve got a stronglight triple with 52/46/32 but the outer ring is just as a bashguard really, though it will pick up the chain. I haven’t managed to push 52-11 yet! It may as well be single speed as I’m in the 46 all the time. -
I’ve turned a’91 Raleigh ‘531’ MTB into a drop bar tourer, inspired by http://www.bikeforums.net/classic-vintage/828426-show-your-vintage-mtb-drop-bar-conversions.html
Mine’s on p.225 - bars look a bit odd due to the camera angle. I’m used to it now & it`s been great on local lanes in the ploughing season muck - probably not a problem in the city! Good luck with it! -
I think these would sell pretty easily on Retrobike - http://www.retrobike.co.uk/forum/viewforum.php?f=2 Good luck!

Hoping to find something to replace a broken frame - a repaint or some work no problem. Full bike would be a possibility, up North so would need posting unless you`re here too! Dates would mean my surviving components could go on Ok.
Any offers & a pic or 2 would be very welcome, Many thanks, Julian -
Not mine but looks good - Gios track bike 66cm - in Holland - pop over for it!

not mine but should suit someone here! -
They look lovely - I think they may have built specifically for hillclimb events - shame I`m too heavy for 24 spokes! Good luck with selling them.

As far as I can tell the body is the same from 9-10-11 speed. Have you got one from an older mavic set like Helium or classics? - would need posting please.
Thanks, Julian -
Oops - went all odd & pink so I'll try this
If you really want to be an invisible ninja I'd recommend getting a new bike made with this stuff! Its called Vantablack & is blacker than anything else - have a look for it on the Independent website
& when available you could get your kit made up as well.
A sunny Sunday afternoon in rural Yorkshire ride revealed 2 tourists in full ninja gear but with 2 sets of front light on flash mode & those good old Cateye LD1100's on the rear doing the disco thing.
With DRL`s on new vehicles I think there is a light on in the daytime arms race about to develop. -

Hello - I
m near York so maybe near you - how about £50 posted? - could also do a deal with pies or black pudding. Hope thats possible, Julian -
Shimano Tourney`s should be about 8 quid.
This should do for a few years: -
Looking for some Sidi Mega shoes in 48 or even 50. I need the width as well as the length. While I`m at it does anyone know a supplier of abnormal overshoes?
-
Hello - looks very nice but I don
t think its an MX leader - the tubing on those has unusual tapers & the forks are very distinctive. Have a look with an image search on Google & youll see what I mean. Its very smart anyway!
