Well, if you think about how regular gripshifts work, this system has to figure out a way of pulling the correct 2:1 ratio for a Shimano rear derailleur whilst also winding up the tension in the front shift cable so that at exactly the right point it moves the chain on to the next front chain...

Nice! The full CNC kit. Looked amazing, probably mediocre performance, though that's entirely an assumption on my part.

Hmmm, people tend to feel less gentlemanly around a bargain, I recently paid a woman more than twice what she was asking for a bike because my knowledge surpassed hers and I didn't want to take advantage, but I definitely had a little internal battle over it. To be fair, anyone who uses eBay...

Thought I'd post these up for their entertainment value. These are EGS SyncroShift shifters from the late 1990s. Back-story: EGA was a short lived company who to the best of my knowledge only ever produced two components - these shifters (several variants exist including a very nice all-metal...

Gone, like a virgin on prom night.

Very nice, if it was a 19" I'd be all over it. Great deal for someone.

Picked this up this week for the princely sum of $120 CAD, the wheels were the first thing that caught my eye, but having had it sitting around my apartment for a few days the whole bike has grown on me, really nice geometry. It's got a blue-collar, mid-range charm to it that makes me just want...

Fork options: Ishiwata EX rigid - very nice lines and super light. PACE RC30 - Period incorrect but same groovy composite construction as frame. Rock Shox MAG 21 - Period correct, specced on identical Peugeot, but heavy and generally a leaky piece of crap (does hold air though).

Re: Re: Thanks Frank, I know I can always rely on you for some "useful" input. :D

Re: Thanks for the info Dudes, indeed you are correct, frame was made by Easton under the Reflex brand, sold as Peugeot/Look/Grisley (Grisley used aluminum only tubes, Look and Peugeot were carbon wrapped). Seems like Mag 21 would be a good fork choice?

So the term "barn-find" gets used a lot these days to describe any old thing that's been forgotten about in storage, but the bike in the pictures below has spent most of the last 2 decades in an actual barn way out in the countryside in rural Ontario. I just drove out to collect it this morning...

Not sure if this has been posted yet, looks like besides being a comic genius RW was a cycling fanatic. https://m.paddle8.com/auction/robin-williams

Re: +1 on the PR10, I have the identical bike, though mine came equipped with Mafac Racer brakes and a 2x10 Simplex drivetrain. Also Mavic tubular rims on Maillard hubs. It's very light! No idea on the tubing used. I believe it was second in the Peugeot line at that time, with the PX10 being...

Sadly i have only one image of the bike (people weren't so snap-happy before digital/cellphones). And I should point out that I didn't snap the headtube off, it was the bike's fourth owner (I was second) and yet remarkably KLEIN still honoured the warranty and gave him a new frame. I actually...

Had one of those, head tube snapped clean off, 20 years ago.

Re: Muddy Fox Monarch Pro (1993?) Great build!

Re: Muddy Fox Monarch Pro (1993?) Nice bike! I have a 1996, think it has a different tubeset though, no seat post issues.

Yes, it would be nice if I could contact RM and get some information, but I seem to remember people trying this before and being told the old records don't exist any more. Not that "315" seems like much to go by. The bike's previous owner was the original owner, but unfortunately I have no...

Re: Re: That's near identical to the one on my P23, which i guess makes it a 1991 or 1992 bike.
