Got canti's on the back so 93-onward (my 92 avalanche is still u-brake, think it was the last year)

'smooths out bumps' Think this is more a reflection of it's weight – it literally smooths out bumps, much like a lawn roller

These frames ride very well, but agree the BIN is a touch unlikely. For that I'd want the Aurora-coloured Team edition with immaculate paint and no big dents in the top tube – oh and have it hand delivered by Hans Rey…

That, my good fellow, looks that absolute business. I've just read through the thread and I have to say initially I thought – Noooo should have kept it silver, but now the graphics are on it makes it look really classy – the silver would have just looked dull. Think I'll be contacting...

Kev, I'd be interested :D Just out of interest these are u-brake only frames yes? What sort of state is it in mate? (other than the obvious paint that is) and would I be right in thinking it needs 1" forks.

Buy this and realise why Shimano felt the need to include a brace with their U-brakes :D Had one just like it on my old Tequesta BITD, mates used to joke that they could tell how hard I was braking by how much the brake bosses were moving apart.

Do you suppose the good front suspension they're referring to is the flex from the quill of the stem? Looks like it's only just the wedge that's actually in there

Not entirely convinced it was a Zaskar – Could be a Pantera, especially with that spec of kit on it.

Got my times wrong, figured it was already sold. Still £12 will hardly break the bank for whomever got it.

Hm… Sounds like it might be a Suntour cassette (check the spec of the rear mech and shifters if original) – if so you'll need two chain whips as the bottom sprocket threads on to hold the rest of the cassette on. Unscrews counter-clockwise, but be prepared for it to be stuck fast after years of...

Did anyone get this?? Not bad for 99p

collection only, and only an hour or so to go – but looks like there's some potential http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Muddy-Fox-Mountai ... 20af23a10b

Been looking at the titanium seatposts on the bay from the above company, the styling's nicely retro enough to consider over and above the newer USE posts (not to mention cheaper by miles) BUT Are they any good? Don't mind a bit of flex, they's kind of the point of a Ti post but I'd prefer...

likewise, I'd imagine an owner of a bike of this calibre to reveal rather more about the spec than the advert or even your earlier post indicates. You can't expect people to part with the kind of money your expecting without significantly more info than the number of gears it's got.

I'm planning a build with a nod to an old MBUK team bike I saw – Yellow Kore stem, Judy SLs and a Spin front wheel. The rest will be solid reliable XT I think (though I imagine the bike I'm modeling it on was M900). I too want it to be an all-dayer. Just need to get some stickers like that...

It must have slipped by some radars to only be at that price with a couple of days to go. As to what it is, my first thoughts were of the old Russian-made frames from the late '90s the text looks familiar on the seat tube. They had a red star on the head tube but I can't remember the name.

On the plus side, you'll not see clips from the film all over the episodes of McGuyver – unless they're planning a hollywood remake of that series too (heaven forbid) On a film related note however, does anyone else feel bad for Mr T – relegated to vid game and snickers adverts when his...

I love these forks – got a pair of original Mk1s (came fitted as standard to my Rocky Mountain Team Comp) that escaped the recall, cause I didn't know there was one. They're fairly trashed now after years of abuse. I've also got a pair of the Carbon LF World Cups that look to be in really...

I really like these – shame he's only offering collection on it though. I think it was up for £499 last time, so I'd bet on the reserve being no lower than £450. If you want one though that's not such a bad price as you can still buy a brand new one for well over a grand. I think I'd want to...

Got to be my RC200 – amongst all the bikes I lusted after as a kid, the Pace was the one. The other day though, the wife asked me which bikes I could sell to make room for the motorbike in the garage and I realised I couldn't part with any of them
