  6'3" looking for a road bike - but can't find ANY in stock!? Clearly everyone has had the same idea as me about getting into shape and getting outside, because I cannot find a road bike anywhere for the life of me. Does anyone know of some obscure shops which might have something? I'm 6 foot 3, so need a relatively large frame

  That would depend on your budget. There are some niche shops like [Spa Cycles](https://www.spacycles.co.uk/) and [SJS Cycles](https://www.sjscycles.co.uk/) that have their own brands and more specialist models in the £1000 to £3000 range.

  Chris C. asked:

  Where can I get a good 26" eyeletted 32hole braked rim in black ? (Machined sides obviously) Looked for Mavic 517 and Sun CR18 no joy on either in the UK. Recommendations welcome but must be eyeletted and black.

  Des G. asked:

  Anyone recommend some decent handlebars I can fit on my F frame speed? I don't want drop bars of any description, some ones near to original in alloy if possible or even those bullbars I think they call them mosquito bars? They are more narrow and curved like a letter "C".

  

  Peter H. replied:

  I used these, look nice on my Stowaway. There are cheaper options. http://www.sjscycles.co.uk/nitto-b201 aa-alloy-riser-bars-254-mm-clamp-500-mm-silver-prod24587/

  Chris P. asked:

  Hi. I am stuck in La Paz. I need to buy new spokes for a 700 C wheel. None available here. Anyone got a suggestion what my best option is ? Where is the nearest place that might have some?

  

  Colin N. replied:

  Chris, if you are unable to get a shop to post the spokes to Bolivia drop me a line and I'll get them from SJS, a shop I get nearly everything from, and I'll forward them on to you. SJS are the Thorn outlet and are used to shipping to far flung places so they may be able to help directly. http://www.sjscycles.co.uk/
