Where did you get those brake hose mounts that use the old cable holders ?

Wow, that frame looks brand new ! im sure there are lots of people on here that also love to fondle componentry 😂

love to see pictures of the finished bike when its all done.

even though its cheap supermarket bike its got a very nice colour scheme/paint job. would still make a nice retro build as it would be more unsual than the run of the mill/common retro bikes out there.

I have had them since 1999. they never had much use. they were on my sons GT Agressor for quite a few years but luckily he never got into bikes or doing skids either. i couldnt resist putting them on there but now im worried about wearing them out 😂

my rebuilt 1995 Rockhopper now fitted with some Specialized tyres i had hidden away.

i have dug out my specialized tyres for my rebuilt Rockhopper had to use plenty of silicon spray to bring them back to life.

so what came first the Apollo triple triangle or the GT ?

this all just goes to show we are now a throw away society and all this green environtal recycling stuff is just a load of bollocks. plus the councils are charging for more and more items at the tip so fly tipping will only get worse. so if any one wants to fly tip any old retro bikes they...

im sure at one point that the early apollo frames were made on the same production line as GT ? maybe someone can confirm this or correct me if im wrong.

very similar to this one on gumtree near me. https://www.gumtree.com/p/bicycles/very-cool-steel-retro-mtb-project-20-inch-large/1474191999

Petersfield isnt that far from me but i know this may upset some people but is it worth that much ?

i have also just had a thought. when you take a bike to the tip and put it in the selling section it then becomes the councils property. if you were to buy it and the tip gorillas keep the money then they are selling something that doesnt belong to them. its like me taking an item from my...

please dont let it go to scrap. someone must rescue it from the jaws of death.

If they had been worth a tenner then I would have gladly paid it. Bet they will just end up in the scrap bin anyway if nobody claims them then the overpaid lazy worker who was sat in his little hut thinking he was in charge of the crown jewels will get nothing.

The annoying thing is that there was a dark grey specialized rock hopper with tange suspension forks on it. The frame was a bit small for me otherwise I would have been really tempted but I bet they wanted 40 or 50 quid for it.

Think my tip is run by the same company.

I have just tried to get a pair of 26 inch wheels from my local tip. They were lying there looking a lonely near the row of unwanted bikes and thought they would be ideal for my commuter. They weren't in good condition and needed a good clean. The wheels were a little out of true but could be...

I thought that. Knock him down to 15 and its a bargain.

i have seen this on my local gumtree and im very tempted to buy it but i need help trying to identify the model and year. looks like it needs alot of work. https://www.gumtree.com/p/bicycles/gary-fisher-bike-/1479696938
