Aim is for fairly light urban street hack without spending too many ££££s. Bought for £40 from a house next to the sea. It's been left outside and is rusty but actually rode OK. I was going to give it a quick spruce up and sell on but as I discovered so much seized and really rusty a quick...

Decision made, as I already have a Marin Palisades Trail here which is putting up a fight with everything seized, it has volunteered itself!

I do have a bit of a soft spot for Diamondback, I just don't see them down here in the Westcountry. Janners

Giant, familiar with but not in any depth. Dawes, no there is a brand that I hadn't thought of. I shall investigate. Cheers folks Janners

That's the sort of things I am talking about...Univega? Hmm I shall have to do some homework. Janners

I ride an 18 inch Diamondback and in Plymouth. Just throwing around random thoughts at the moment. Janners.

My lack of work today is the result of wondering what I would build Retro MTB wise that was light and on a budget, hence frames with big street cred are a no go. As an example most Oiks in the street won't look twice at a 90's Diamondback or Tmax....but put a Cannondale sticker on it and the...

Well that has made my day, a true bargain....or not.

There's more? Ohhh, my retro heart beats faster. :D Janners

I went into the studio to do some work, put the film on in the background. Schoolboy error, now grinning watching the film. Work achieved? Zero. Janner

You star, I have just spent on hour googling and couldn't find it. On the plus side I have watched some great videos. Cheers Janners

Trying to dig up a film I watched possibly late 80's. Following a couple of guys in the US. I thought it was "Shred" but that brings up snowboarding. Anybody remember it? Janners

Bought the bike but it will be for urban use hence the tyres would be a shameful waste on it! On eBay with a full set of pictures. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/333618365162

I am certainly not an expert but I did think there was a bit of a disparity. :lol:

Picked it up having bought it based on some photo's. It was a very sad bike. But hey a wipe with an oily cloth cheered me up. Granted it sure isn't mint but it's better than it looked and it all works. It appears to be original other than the grips. Needs a really, really good clean!

Following as I am confused. Not saying you are wrong in any way, but I don't get it. If the rear mech sits correctly under the largest sprocket, in what way would the frame cause it to touch the spokes? My first action would be to pop on another back wheel and see what happens. I'll add I am no...

Looks nice, I hope the other half appreciates being spoiled. :lol:

Dribble...nice.

Good to hear you're happy.

"Legrandfromage", excellent. I thought I had seen something on here, it turns out it was the Peachy thread, couldn't find it for looking. Now to continue to work out whether this is a junker cobbled together or what. Janners
