you sure you don't want to send those cranks to the US???

just one more question... did you see a shim in yours? I think that sometimes comanies add shims to titanium bikes to prevent seatpost seizing. or the previous owner might have added it to mine. i have a 29.8 in there right now but i think i could fit a 30.0 but if i took out the shim...

salsa makes a 30.0mm that is quite nice and in most colors they are $25 usd here in the states shipped. not bad for a very nice clamp! chex it out

that is unbelievable!!! i got my frame on CL from a guy who bought two NOS frames 11 years ago one for him and one for his mom. they build both up but the mom's (mine ) frame was too big for her. so it sat in his garage for 10 years. then CL. he was asking $380 for the frame but ended up...

tell me you didn't pay $200 for the bike as we see it. it was just the frame right? also what size is your seat post never was certain of mine and it looks like there is a shim in there. is yours the same? anyway sweet bike yours looks amazing!

syncros stem i just picked one up i will post pic tomorrow!

thanks yall, i think the way it is set-up now is going to work although not ideal, and definitely not to shimano spec. sounds like new rims, or set up for Cantis. ON a lighter note the Front brake works awesome maybe i will just have to get really good at stoppies. So does this frame...

well see i had to put those spacers over there because i needed the pads closer to the wheel. otherwise the v-brakes will almost be touching each other when the pads are engaging the rim. basically i need a way to get the pads closer without using extra washers. hence my thought that the...

so mind you this frame had been modified and i am not sure if this was changed too but looks like the bosses come directly out from triangle not off-centre towards the wheel like newer ones seem to be. the spacing you see is with no adjusters on the outside of the brake pad. i moved both to...

got the frame: 1. Blasted 2. Identified 3. Powdercoated 4. rear re-spaced 5. ????? REAR BRAKE bosses are for Cantis only? too wide for Vees? i went about fitting my br-950 xtr brakes and levers on the frame and ran into an issue. the rear bosses are too far apart! if i adjust the...

I left "Positive feedback" but in the comment space railed the seller. he must have complained because ebay sent me a message titled: "we have three questions regarding your feedback" i answered them accurately. and that was it. worth the extra effort to let someone know that they suck

Excuse the Newbie question here but... Why are a lot of Retro mtbs fitted with super long stems? 120mm 130-150mm??? these last couple years when i started building bikes i would buy shorter stems (90mm) because the long ones looked wanky. But i just put a retro Control tech stem that is...

oh and sorry that i assumed that it was made in Seattle. I think someone at my LBS suggested that it could have been made at TiCycles here in seattle but seems like it started its life a little bit further away...

so you could have gotten the Mti2000 in a non replica build? got pics?

that color is striking!!! If you don't want to build it, i could do it for you. but then i get to keep the frame... Deal?

Thanks. hoegaardenadds1 is sending me some Kilauea decals!. i was probably going to use the "custom" one but you have made a convincing argument against it. and yes the Tange prestige sticker is the copper and black colored not the blue one. damn sounds like i need to come up with some new...

"Skinny tubes lighter colour" http://www.retrobike.co.uk/forum/viewto ... 609#493609 with anodized bits as well... i was thinking of getting a clear powdercoat with this one as well but went "champagne" i think you should go clear but this is what it mine looks like.

So i got the frame back from Davidson Cycles here in Seattle after they changed the rear spacing to 135mm from 120mm with no hickups. One of the builders there hooked me up with their loose KONA decals. One was a he he he seat tube badge, a "KONA Custom", and some cinder cone decals, along...

Nah, the MTi2000 was the one with the carbon tubes. I think that i read it retailed for $6,700. i think mine was more like $4,000. carbon fails though...not ti!

don't tell anyone but i have a pair of Butterscotch tioga psychos to make it look like the catalog...
