Sorry to correct you, but I think you mean you frame lacks the brake BOSSES, which are holding the whole canti brake. The bolt I wrote about above, only holds the brake pad, actually this bolt is tweaked when you need to adjust the brake pad next to the rim, simple brakes use it often, TUNE...

Hi, I had the same problem with my '91 TREK 970, but don't worry, with a bit of effort its' very easy to solve. So, you know the bolt, which holds the brake pad in canti brakes, right? It's drilled through in the middle so the pad can be inserted in its BIG hole. I had plenty around from...

Re: Syncros self extracting crank bolts Thanx for correcting me, I didn't know that. Anyway, its price still seems a bit steep for me, but I accept that in this case you pay for the BRAND, an exotic piece of kit, a practical device @ a veritable investment, getting all at the same time, so...

Syncros self extracting crank bolts Okay, so it was on of the NAMEs in the '90s, but holy cr*p, I've bought bikes with full DX kit for less...and the bidding was quite tense... :shock: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Syncros-self- ... 7675.l2557 I'm sorry, but don't know how to insert a...

I wish you the best of luck, and I'm sure you're extremely excited to have the Amp, but 6' for a 16"frame????? I'm 5'9" and I'm selling my 16.75" Litespeed since it was too small for me. You might be better off selling it for a profit then finding something better suited for you. Either way...

Thanx mate, but I'm going to use a bespoke shim,most likely made of plastic, as long as the seatpost is inserted into the tube. The bike is the smallest one I think, about 16", but I'm 6 feet tall, hardly a giant, but frame feels rather tiny. Correct post & stem lengths are vital...Stem will...

Thanks for your comment. I'm going to put the KTM on the forum, (just needs some stuff to finish) with others in my paddock : early '90s Pinarello alu DX/XT, 3 Hooger-Boogers (Comp DX-XT-XTR, the XTR one came as a frame only, seems unused, but will be built with M737 due to own financial...

Thanks mate, bit confusing, innit? I might just clean the seat tube a bit out, admittedly it's a bit raspy inside. Think I'm gonna burn in hell for this, but now planning to use some contemporary , stupidly light, red anodized 27.2 mm seatpost with a shim... pathetic, I know, but since this...

Hi all, I've just bought an 1995 KTM "Race Line", which appears to be an Austrian-bulit copy of the fabulous AMP B3. Hardly used, original M737 kit, AMP fork with mother of all disc brakes. Paid 139 GBP posted, living in a third world country does have its benefits :-) Bike is largely...

In my little third world country, there are a handful of quality framebuilders, the most recognised one called "Yasec". A frame, either made of alu or steel built to your exact spec, costs roughly from 5-600 GBP to as dear as you can afford:wink: Check out the info here...

Hi all! Was a long time lurker, but I've finally registered into the Temple of Doo...err RETROBIKE! Got the bug a year ago, buying a knackered, but solid '92 Rocky Ridge frame, and slowly developed a serious retro illness :twisted: So, my plans for the next year are: 1.Sorting out the...
