seems like the flite is...flying ahead. ahem :oops:

Vitorzip that's some collection of saddles - are they all on bikes? :shock:

MadCowKev any pics of the rolls?

Was thinkin about putting a pair of suspension forks on my 91 Apex, would this be considered a NO-NO and maybe even a faux pas? I know this is a retro forum an all that but just wated to know your opinions? :? Would it affect the geometry so much that it would make the bike unstable, just...

That's 2 of us then - mine used to be on my road bike (years ago) but it was that comfy it just had to migrate onto the APEX...! ```````````````````````````````

Having been a member of the forum for about a week now i notice lots of bike pics with the Selle Italia Flite saddles fitted...is this the saddle of choice for the Retro MTB connosieur? I've got one fitted to my 91 Apex and have to say it's the kindest thing to sit on, unlike my Arione Wingflex...

I've been told it's a 91 model, although i can't remember when i bought it...it's my age y'know..! :lol:

leonatico glad you like it...i've recently started using it again as i've been using my road bike for a while - it still rides great on and off road. Longy

Still going strong..anyone else got one of these?

tintin40 no probs..that's what the forums all about - glad i could help out..watch the tubes with the hack saw. :wink: longy

G As this is one of the parts on your bike that shows its age then a new BB will make it feel smooth and new again - then you can get out there and not worry about your rubbers...!! :oops:

Hey Gonzo To remove forks undo headset, take off all spacers and nuts, forks will slip out, if not gently tap (with a block of wood to protect head tube) on the threaded area and out they will pop. That's no amp - that be a LASERDISC player (circa 1997), i thought you know your AV gear -...

Gonzo All you need to do is ask nicely and i would've given you some tips...to remove rounded bolts you can put a saw cut across the head of the bolt, then use a flat headed screw driver to remove said bolt..or alternatively (as tintin40 said) is to drill out before you remove too much allloy...

i would get down to your local bike shop and get some from there...ball bearings come in packs and pretty much standard quality...or alternatively, get yerself a new BB with new spindle bearings cups etc. I know you want your bike original though.... :wink: Longy

Hi all Having recently joined the website (see my 91 Diamond Back Apex in the Retro MTB) I've found an old campag chainset - Croce D'Aune no less...what's it worth, should i sell, keep it and build a retro road bike with it or maybe hang it on the wall like a piece of fine art...! :lol...

Hey G Have a think about it...? Your favorite bit of kit may have blemishes and scratches and scuffs, that's what makes it so special. If we all had pristine MTB's without the scratches (that remind us of the times we fell off, hit a stone, took the skin off etc) then RETRO BIKE wouldn't be...

Hey Gonzo Looks like the bug has finally hit you..i think the addiction you have is linked to your age..as we get older we crave the things we did at a younger age, be it MTB, cars or even girls...yes, girls. Why do older men in their late 30's early 40's plump go for the younger woman...we...

but at least i can take a chainset off.. :lol:

cheers....makes me feel real old now! :lol:
