Lovely looking bike, screams nineties with purple paint instead of all purple anodised bits! I would love one or even earlier e stay Saracen. I've low mileage stx on a marin, it's slightly heavier but hard wearing and good looking. I've got lx and xt and xtr bikes, and actually it's all very...

Good luck with sale, I am looking for a gt cap in nice nick for my mates zaskar, but I keep buying job lots and I have to stop! If you don't succeed maybe you would send me the gt ones for a few quid?

Bugger perfect bars missed if Shepp changes his mind.. shout. I like xlite too, and I've got there cross country bars but my back is 44 now and requires more assistance in reaching the bars. The hunt continues.

I dont know any details , I just know this looks fab, nothing this nice comes up on marketplace in my neck of the woods! Looks like a great usable workhorse.

Oh dear now I watch more you tube.. most of the names I recall from MBUK.

Off topic .. but am I looking at early steel amp forks, running v brakes? In the top pic on the univega... I have a Kona with amp forks I'm building and the curve cantis are a nightmare. I figured v brakes and flex of those light forks might be a recipe for disaster.. I've some nice og lx arms...

I looked at 27.5 and 29er orange clockworks in recent years, they appeal to old fashioned souls like me, and I actually very nearly bought one.. I decided I have lots of bikes, and keep an eye for the one that's barely been used for a lot loss money at some stage... Bikes like those that are...

Too fickle, too easy to break, always be very niche and not mass produced enough to be a common classic..? I own one, its my second as my prst1 cracked, its a nice wheather only, always wanted one bike, its not used regulalrly as the bearings cost a fortune, and I am still a bit concerned I will...

Yep, this is where I bought my matt grey Explosif with those decals as a frame only .. I would of said it was closer to 2000 but mists of time maybe.. Mine is canti not disc, but does have ritchey dropouts i think. I was in a low paid job, popped in to Halfords to get some parts for a friends...

Oh my, I've a couple old Pace airforce in good condition but not ridden for years, I was after servicing, not gotten around to it. Is it worth me dropping a pm to organise this? I bought some parts, probably from you with a view to doing it myself but I've never been brave enough as yet! If...

Lord alone knows why I didn't proof read, lots of mucking spell chuckle.. I've edited it. Didn't half read funny.

I know this issue.. my original kona is actually pretty well specced and restored, lives in my office at work. It's early nineties and I am 44 i can't ride 19" frames, and 120 long stems really but I can't bring myself to change it, I bought a last of the steel canti brake explosifs as a new...

My lbs is on the list of grumps you rightly discounted from discussion at the beginning. But there's a relevance there because like all trades or retail customers moan it's cheaper on amazon etc.. So let them and when it's cheaper to fox than send back they will come knocking and you can...

Hi there, how long is the kona racelight 27.0mm post please..?

Hi Scant, ive had a wanted ad out as ebay was stupid for the exact one.. its technically the wrong groupset but ive so much polished alloy on the build with hubs, and hope brakes etc i think it will look fine with the rest which is all later grey all over xtr.... pm'd
