    Review of a Cheap Chinese eBay Conversion Kit

It then occurred to me that buying two batteries meant I...

    Uniglide to Hyperglide conversion

    I am going to attempt (and that is putting it mildly) a body swap using the guts of a 7speed Uniglide into the body of a 7speed Hyperglide . If it works it will be fitted to my Vitus 979 rebuild.
