Thanks! I’ll take some today and get em up

Yes they are

Built during lockdown with a nostalgia for early 90’s 3DV

Uh oh. I’m in trouble then.....

Hi Can anyone tell me how I might protect some purple anodized rims from color loss due to brake rub? Would a softer compound brake pad help? Are there sealants for such things? Any help is appreciated. Cheers

Never mind. I’m an idiot. It’s a 31.8.

Hi All I have a 1998 Litespeed Unicoi frameset I’m building up, and I thought since it has a 27.2mm seatpost, that I would automatically need a 28.6mm seatpost clamp. I got one and there is no way that’s fitting on that seatpost tube. Does anyone know what the specific measurement of those are...

Hi I am in the process of building up a titanium frame(Litespeed), and it’s going to get V-brakes. This will be my first experience with them as I went from cantilever to disc on other bikes. I’ve read some conflicting reports on the efficacy of brake boosters, so I was hoping for this...

Ok, thanks Jimo. I now have a fair idea of value. Still kind of curious about its production age, but I guess that’s not that important. What does UST stand for?

Can anyone tell me about this tire(tyre)? I picked this up locally and thought it was quite the score, since it is unused, 26”, and seemingly good for a retro gravel bike setup. Turns out it’s a tubeless, so that’s not going to work for the rims I have. I have looked online for any info on this...

Re: Re: As I mentioned in my initial post, I have some NOS purple Sun rims that they’ll go with, but I’m building up a 98 Litespeed Unicoi. I’ve also got some green Wildgrippers that will go on those. My wheels won’t be all retro though, as I’m having them laced with some cx-rays. Going for...

Thanks Black cat. I kept the faith, and found one just this morning!

I have a Black Ringle Super eight from back in the mid 90s that I love! Perhaps because it took a 20 year holiday in a shed, it still functions impeccably. But I don’t see them come around very often on the auction block. I guess what I’m wondering is: from a historical perspective, were those...

I would pay handsomely for one of these in good working order.

Re: Ok, thanks to all. Looking at a Rock Shox recon with posts, new on Ebay. $300 US after shipping. Seems like a way better decision than buying the (Used) purple Marzocchi XC500s from seller in Germany. It would have been an impulsive purchase at $400 before shipping that would have afforded...

Can anyone tell me some of the best performing (and perhaps later models) of compression forks that they like, that were set up for rim brakes? I’m looking at many on EBay, but reading reviews of them has only led to more uncertainty. Cheers

Re: Ok, thanks guys. That’s helpful. I’m being offered one for $665 plus shipping, which seems about right

Can anyone tell me a ballpark good price on a used Obed Litespeed frame in good condition(minor frame scuffing and a little decal scuffing)?

In restoring my ‘93 Marin Nail Trail, Im finding some play in all the brake arms, with the front right being noticeably more pronounced. Was probably always there to some extent. But seems worse now. Perhaps because of age and wear, the studs on fork and frame have worn down, and are thus a...
