Vintageman's Early 90's Titanium RekTek with RaceFace Bits.

Vintagemans 1939 Schwinn Straightbar Klunker.

Hello I hope Monday finds you all well. Here's a bit of a unicorn that I've known about for years but has finally found it's way to my home. Posting a few pics if anyone cares to comment. Small 14.5in frame welded up by Moe Pardhan back in the early 90's with some cool features including...

Vintageman's 1986 Dirt Shark. (I just realized I should have posted build thread in readers mtb's...oops) https://www.retrobike.co.uk/threads/1986-land-shark-dirt-shark-mtb.474042/

Hi all, I hope 2023 has been a good year for everyone thus far. I haven't posted anything in a while so I thought I'd offer up this Dirt Shark for your collective critique. I've wanted one for quite some time as I'm a big fan of Slawtas paintwork and from what I understand no two paint jobs are...

thanks for the info on the tubeset Old Ned. I could find next to nothing searching Columbus "Ellittica"

Hi all, I'm usually over in the vintage mtb section but thought I'd post a recent find for anyone interested in commenting or critiquing. This bike came out of La Bicicletta in Vancouver B.C. in approximately 1990. Some nice features include Columbus Ellittica tubing with internal cable...

Hi all, Offering up my 89 Climbax for your perusal and critique. Took a while for this build to come together. I've had the frame for a while now and managed to procure the gatorblade earlier this year. The fork is original paint and I couldn't bring myself to change that given "it's only...

it's a 90 or 91 and I can confirm for sure if need be. Nice size frame (18in). media blasted and just back from Paul. he aligned frame and did some work on the brake brazeons and seatpost clamp brazeon. no dings or dents just ready for paint. $350US plus shipping.

Hi All, hope everyone's Thursday is treating them well. I've been fortunate enough to pick up this toad in the last couple of weeks and thought I'd share a couple of pics for anyone interested. Local gentleman was kind enough to move it along to me and I've removed most of the parts that came...

Hi All... (I'm sure we're past the cutoff for happy new year) Thought I'd throw this one up for critique. I think its a '95 near as I can tell. Got the frame a while ago and have put together a suitable (to my mind) period build. I don't have the cake to go NOS so usually rely on what I have...

naw. this was a local find.

I know right. I'm having a tough time (not really) accepting the stx but apparently these were around nine bills when they came out and the stx was to keep costs down.

Hi all and hope everyone's weekend is off to a great start. Was fortunate enough the other day to be in the right place at the right time and scored this 96/97 GF repop klunker. It's bone stock down to the grips and tires. pretty decent shape and appears to have been hardly ridden. I've got a...
