Damn just missed out on some bombers on the bay :( Oh well, they were lime green anyway :shock:

Anyone doing the London Bikeathon 2010 in June? If so are you going retro!? 8)

Bit smaller than a Focus, but can highly recommend Skoda Fabia VRS - perfect blend of economy and performance (130bhp 1.9 TD puts a smile on your face AND achieves 50mpg+), VAG reliability, mostly good dealers/ service costs and value for money, low depreciation.

Hell yes!!! :D

Yeah disc, Bombers I'm after but not certain on exactly which model would be best. It's more for trail riding than full-on DH.

Hi all, what rate of spring are you using on a rock shox super deluxe? I am about 12 stone / 75kgs and have a 750lb spring, does that sound right? It is on an LTS-DH.

Hey all, need some recommendations for the best long travel (4-6") single or triple crown fork that has QR, and not bolt through drop outs, retro or non-retro . Just got an LTS DH and want a new fork on it but have a nice set of wheels I want to keep on it too!

Hi all, I'm after a pair of the original 97/98 Bomber Z1s the orange long travel ones. Must be in top mechanical condition. PM me if any offers 8)

What's the difference between the normal LTS, the later DS versions and the DH frames? I know the DS and DH have the curvy seatpost tube to kick the saddle back but are there any other differences?

Could scrape together a reasonably healthy budget for the right frame/bike. Period correct not necessarily an issue.

Ok found some of my serious bike geek spec sheets for my first two bikes, so I will bore you with them: 1997 GT Tequesta RS GT Triple Triangle Full Cro-Mo w/ Custom Butted main tubes Rock Shox Indy XC 2.5" travel Ritchey Logic Aheadset Shimano STX front, STX-RC rear hubs 8spd QR Mavic...

Hmm I seriously doubt that, I forgot how strenuous off roading is!! And I got very lost attempting to follow the trail, which you wouldn't have done with all your grid reference contraptions :wink:

After a high-end GT LTS, preferably something like the mid-late model DS, Lts-1, LTS 1000 maybe even DH, also STS considered if flawless! Both frames or complete bikes considered in 18"/medium size to fit 5'10-11 rider, top tube length 22" centre to centre or thereabouts. Must be in perfect...

Thanks for getting the pics up fellas :D And yeah I know the stem set-up is horrid, but otherwise the bike is uncomfortable :oops:

Can't work out how to do images :roll: http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=1 ... =833110374 http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=1 ... =833110374 http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=1 ... =833110374 http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=1 ... =833110374...

Here's my "retro" bike although at the time and in my memory it still feels very modern! Bought when I was 14 I believe and had outgrown my first proper mountain bike, a Trek 820, a trusty steed that got me to 2nd place in the 1994 Bexley Junior mountain bike race 11- 13yrs, aged 11 I hasten to...

The most powerful brakes in the world, the chainstays barely contain them! :lol:

Hah! Does anyone have a yellow GT LTS, then I can dig out that jacket. Might be a bit small now though :lol: Yes that Raleigh was my first pride and joy :wink:

Thanks! The frame in the ads looks nice, but think a 16" frame will be a bit small though, I'm about 5'10 and usually ride an 18"/medium gt frame :(

Hi all, First post, loving this site, it is bringing back so many memories - I used to be MTB obsessed as a kid between about 9 - 16! Just recently got back on my bike and getting the bug again! My 1997 black/red flame GT Tequesta FS is all polished again and my new modern toy, a 2009...
