The older bike is Reynolds 531C. I'm in Switzerland and there are some second hand selling websites where I could...

That looked so much like my bike in the first photo that I wasn't actually sure that you didn't just reuse my photo. Good to see something can (sometimes) be done!

Yeah I think liability was a part of it too - he wouldn't even fix a small issue on the brakes because he didn't want to be somehow tied to the bike!

Maybe I should give this bike another go and...

There's enough time in one's life for both, right? I can cycle when I like, and then when I want something more hands on I can try build the bike. Or should every minute not spend posting on...

Actually, while we're here I might as well ask. This is my old frame two of my LBS said is unfixable. Is this a fair assessment, or a bit cautious? (I can understand them not wanting to waste their...

Advice when buying a second hand steel frame?

I want to get an old steel frame and use it as a base to build my own bike. I know it's more expensive this way, but it seems like a nice project, I'll learn a lot about bikes, and I'll then have a...
