Somewhat reluctantly selling my Stooge Dirt Tracker. Great bike, a lot of fun to ride. I just dont ride as much these days and really dont need to own 5 bikes :roll: Its obviously a used bike but has seen very little use since I bought / built it. Just a few of the parts I already had (stated below)...

FS: Ritchey Ultra Frame - SOLD

A short time ago I built up a Ritchey Ultra as a 29er with rigid forks and Schwalbe G-Ones to use as a gravel bike. Reality is, I almost never ride it as I prefer to just ride my other hardtail. Frame is in excellent condition and likely did less than 300km. It rides beautifully but I just don't nee...

Re: Spain and the £97 rule

Nonsense in reality.

Brexit has apparently created all kinds of new rules. The only difference I've seen is that the Dutch folk at hook of holland think we're all tossers.

Actually, I'm not sure that's a difference to be honest.

I'd not worry about it.

Re: Off Topic - siezed, rusted, possibly double threaded, sheared bolt extraction advice!

My point wasn't really that this was or wasn't a reasonable price, nor whether I would or would not pay it.

But that internet flaming and stating things are a rip off is all too common when we haven't used a service.

High mount bottle cage?

Anyone know of a bottle cage with the bolt holes right at the bottom, so the cage essentially mounts very high up?

Cheers

I know of the little bar things that move cages up or down, these are the second best option :grin:
