A few weeks ago (before the Karakoram) I picked up this Giant. I decided I wanted to try a 16” frame after having a couple of 18” bikes recently And the contrast was quite stunning for me. While the 18” bikes felt too big and unwieldy the 16” have a great feel and are very rideable. I think...

So after a few years one of these beauties popped up locally again. I had to have it. It’s the correct frame size for me 16” rather than the huge 18” version I had. Such a great bike. This one is not completely original. It has DX Thumbies instead of the original DX under-bar integrated...

many, many years later I finally found another one in the correct size…

Re: Offers? Swaps? Partial to small steel bikes, road or MTB.

These are both on eBay but happy to do them for a little bit less on here. 1990 Trailblazer Sprint. 20” Frame, 55cm top tube which is apparently a medium/large. I’ve never seen another one. Hate to let this go but it’s just too big. Suntour XCT groupset with Command Shifters. A couple of minor...

Re: Loving this one. Can’t wait to see it fully built.

Re: The Geometry is Touring really. Mine is 54cm seat tube with a 56/57cm top tube. That’s the same as my Carlton Corsair GT which is classic touring. MTB gear on it does make it an adventure bike. I’m very happy with it. Huge bar width. 48m c-t-c (IIRC) which again is very modern.

Re: Yep, I was very lucky to get it. I’ve seen the red ‘88 resto on here but not a single other.

Re: Must get a pic of these two together now...

Re: Great looking bike. Very “French” in style.

Never seen one outside of the catalogue til this popped up. I know there is a 1988 model (I think) on here. Generally good condition. Tyres were a little past their best. Doesn’t look like it’s been ridden much at all. I’ve tidied it up and it all runs well. I’ll give it a full service soon...

Re: New to me 1990 Courier Comp. it’s all original apart from tyres, seatpost and seat although I do have the original seat.

Re: Anytime bike! Just come back from 40 mile commute... Added mudguards as per original spec.

Would be great if I could get a rough date for it. Hard to say I've got the correct period components on it. I would think early 90's . Serial is DD823. I live right around the corner from Edward Street where it was made. I've great respect for the Carlton frame builders, they did some amazing...

Hi! Not posted for a while. A lot of bikes have come and gone! Here is my latest. Any info would be helpful. I know there are a couple of Powell's in here...I know it was made under The DD Enterprises banner in Dinnington by Rick after 1989 (The Reynolds decals came out in '89) and it's frame...

Re: Back to black....I also have an original Shimano Gokden Arrow rear derailleur for it then it just needs downtube decal.

Need to get a pic next to its slightly older sibling the Team Corsa.
