Just seen a green one of these locally. I may have to explore. :D

@Woz . I saw this in Berlin (Bikes with blue tyres) and thought it all rather strange, but pleased to see so many bikes in use. Alas Plymouth has no such thing for me to ponder over and the hills here take some getting used to for the uninitiated. :D

@greencat, indeed add to that the power and effectiveness of advertising and the problem extends again. I still regard it as utter madness though.:LOL:

@KermitGKona88 It's the plastic box zip tied to what was once a chrome rear pannier carrier that adds the touch of elegance, panash and sophistcation to the Mustang.:LOL:

We hear on the news that money is tight, people are obese and the environment is collapsing. However perfectly usable bikes are free on Facebook Market place and people can't get rid of them. I love my old clunker of a pub bike, I lock it up with a cheap lock that if you sneezed on would break...

Giant....blimey I had completely forgotton them!

@markoc My current project is a Marin Eldridge Grade. I ran my spares collection down quite some years back. It looks as though I might just have enough bits left for the build. Never really been an enthusiast, more of a returning bloke who is too tight to buy new bikes when the old stuff is...

@hamster ... Univega. I bought and sold a Univega a few years back. What a bike! I can't remember what model it was but it was very highly specced, with a very tasy supension fork and so light! It was bought for me but I was made an offer that I could't turn down. The return paid for a meal and...

I have consumed too much coffee looking and still can't find a thread of this nature, although I assume one exists! I was pondering what early MTB's were well specced great rides, but just didn't / haven't got the following these days. If some body could either point me in the direction of such...

Re: If I remember correctly the hole did go all the way through each elastomer. I have no idea of the size of the elastomers. I bought the elastomers from somebody on here. All I know is it all worked!

Re: That's the sort of thing I do....then stand there scratching my head. Janners

When I bought this Univega Alpina 508 with it's full XT it was because I wanted some bits. I rode it, loved it. So decided I should sell it as a complete bike at some point. I get it out to sell, ride it, grin and put it back. I guess I am not the only one to have this problem. But hey I might...

Bought crankset, handlebars and grips. as described delivered on time. Thanks Janners

Looking lovely. Janners

That is looking really nice. Interested to know how you get on with a longer bb axle length. I tried this on a Marin I was building for my wife. The DX mech then couldn't physically reach the outer ring. So worth checking the throw (or travel) available on the front mech. It might not be a...

Looking nice. Janners

Cheers Hamster, Janners

Re: GT Karakoram 1997 - I started a build by mistake That slippery slope is a wonderful drug, even Boris wants people to get hooked. Looking good. Janners

Thanks Ibbz. I built it for my wife's 50th birthday present. She did 21 miles on it today, so I think she likes it. Janners

Bought, ridden, sold, and it was a cracking ride. Happy days. Janners
