    Alloy Marin Swingarm for'99 Alpine Trail.

    Hi, I am looking for a swingarm for my auld Marin, which I think is 1999, having the tubular steel assembly. I had various Marin full-sussers around 2000, and broke two alloy swingarms over time, but that was more through downhill racing. I am keen to get a period disc brake on the back, instead...

    Want to make a cheap all terrainish bike, need advice

    I had a great time in Tuscany, riding on and off road last year on an 1996 steel kona Hahanna. It only cost £50, I took it as a spare for my pals, but folk fought each other to ride it.

    Rigid mountain bike forks wanted

    I have a 2008 ish Kona p2, a much more rigid and beefy one than my 1990's p2's are. They are black, not immaculate, I.S. disc mount. 11/8 steerer, had them on a steel 24" x 32 tyre bike.

    kona

    Got a lightly ridden hahanna rigid last year, had various steel konas in late '80-90's and it goes well, upgraded it a bit with light bits. Been blatting down Italian mountains, thru Scottish bogs, a lot better ride than I imagined when they were new! Hope you like it if you go for it.
