Inferno Red, which is a ‘91. There was an alternative ‘91 colourway called Blue Widow, which was.. well.. blue. I think Tequila Sunrise was a ‘92 colourway. No doubt someone will correct me if I’m wrong.

Hey, it’s your bike - if a riser bar improves the ride for you, then go for it. Thumbies would be period acceptable anyway (I have a set on my (prior year) Kara. I don’t think burning in hell enters the equation until you introduce bar ends to said riser bar..

Marin Pine Mountain brakes on a Kara. Controversial

I would look at it this way - if you are a DH focused collector, assembling a collection of iconic bikes, you’ll need a San An. Now, the frames do pop up fairly regularly - but this is an early one, with a Risse, the correct forks and the correct brakes - and it’s good to go with a high quality...

Wasn’t this on eBay at £100 a week or two ago? I mean I know the Bank of England just raised interest rates, but they need to do much more in my opinion, to combat this rampant inflation.

There has been one of these sitting outside a ratty LBS in the second hand rack at £300 for about a year, 15 mins walk from me in South East London. The issue therefore isn’t “London prices” (though it ain’t worth £300 either), but City of London prices (EC2Y).. A whole different ballgame..

I fear those of us living on the less glamorous side of the Atlantic will find pw’s upcoming thread highly depressing..

As is always the case, two motivated buyers is all it takes to push a price high. I have seen this in a couple of high parts I have bid (and lost on) recently. Prices went above what I considered to be “market”.. because I was bidding to win (and hence top of market).. but I still lost, and it...

When the Fat Man dropped that little flouro pink Trail down the chimney, all my Christmases had come at once. It ain’t perfect but for a maybe 1987 bike, I suppose it was at a level you might expect. Looked cool as F to my little eyes at the time though..

The pink Peugeot Trail in the lot was my first ever MTB.. or should I say ATB, which is how it was badged. I picked up the adult version - a Raider - last year for nostalgia purposes (the Trail being a 24”), still zingy in pink, with the exact same crappy Sachs components. Rides exactly the...

Looks like you could just stick a fat bike tyre straight on one and off you go..

Appreciate that.. it’s more the pain and additional expense of customs that is the issue

Exactly what I’m looking for… buuuut in the US. You guys are so lucky with your access to cool stuff. GLWS

That’s a shame. Didn’t you just win with that? Oh well. Look forward to seeing the Goat in a poll down the line!

Hey You could try and post in the 98+ section.. but be warned, this entire site focuses pretty heavily on pre-97 bikes. Your best bet is to stake out ebay and be patient, I’m afraid. Sourcing a new replacement link via a distributor or LBS will probably be a disappointing experience because...

My recollection was that CR did the building but AM did the painting.

You said it. Taiwan, baby. Where all the best bikes come from.

Thank you kindly

Wonder what horrors lurk beneath that electrical tape.. Not sure what people’s issue with the build is (tyres excepted).. an m739 build complete with the usual compliment of bonty parts was a stock build bitd for these.

And a lot more for certain sets..
