    95 Kilauea frame

    Now that it’s way past my price range, £260 and counting seems a bit punchy for a well loved 95 Kilauea missing the seat and dog collar…...

    ** Mountain Mayhem 2022 - ITS ON ! (in a fashion)

    Good summary, I did spot your hot from afar looking lovely! It was my first ever MM and I had a good time despite the evening weather. Modern machinery for me though, not sure I would have coped on my rigid cinder cone...

    Things which were made of cheese. The nightmare recalled.

    I had a black and white crackle wheel disc cover on my 89 Muddy Fox Streetfinder (I couldn't afford a genuine MF one), this made my bike super awesome in the school bike shed, so purpose was entirely functional. Living by the north sea though, it was challenging in a cross wind...

    When did it lose it for you.....

    I think 1998 was the last year of classic MTB for me. My original MTB's were a 1992 Kona Fire Mountain - awesome as a teenager's first proper bike and then a 1998 Kona Kilauea - whilst it wasn't quite as iconic it was a significantly better bike, not just being higher up the range but having V...

    Leverage suggestions for tricky crank/bb

    They look awesome! I'm probably at the big metal bar stage at present, using my Thule roof bar does work but tends to to bend the end a bit so probably not doing a lot of good...

    Leverage suggestions for tricky crank/bb

    Anyone got any good cheap suggestions for leverage extension for a particularly tight crank bolts/bb? Normally I put a car roof bar over the end of the spanner/allen key which given it's 1m does the trick but I'm not sure it's doing it much good...

    Wanted Sakae Low Fat MTP-126 pedals/internal parts

    Hi All I am looking for parts to rebuild a left Sakae Low Fat MTP-126 pedal as the inner seal is missing and bearings are exposed. Interested in either good condition pedals or also those with say damaged cages that I can swap the internals over
