Definitely interested and have been in touch- thanks. Will update here and whoever takes on this bike it’s good it will be a retrobiker.

I’ll take the hotrod please

Hi, I’m after a small or at least not large Alu Elite, ideally a frame or complete bike that needs some tlc. Thanks, Damian

Would you sell your black one rather than swap?

Thank you for taking the time to share your expertise and knowledge - I really appreciate that. Loads of options to choose from. Thanks!

Very interested, what condition? Any pics?

This is all for an aluminium Elite 1993, so no modern stuff in the mix!

Ok, this is all really helpful- they are not a split clamp… so that’s going to be difficult to use anything like say XT 737 or XTR 900 shifters?

Thanks both of you- that’s spot on!

Stupid question time- if I use Magura HS22 brakes, how do I fit shimano shifters? Is there an adaptor that fits to the brakes??? Anyone have experience of this? Thanks!

As above, looking for a gripnut/2nut in mango sotto voce, 1 1/4. Thanks!

I’m building up another elite and pretty sure I need a 1 ¼ stem? And while I have a syncros on my current elite, I can’t find a syncros ¼ anywhere, are they that rare? Thanks!

Messaged you about the brakes.

That’s fantastic! Thank you. What a great insight into the reality of small companies- I mean, just messing around and seeing what the new machine can do, just like any of us would. It’s so sad that they are in trouble. Wonder if they’ll somehow make it?
