PM'd re: Fox ps. 100mm travel?

well, yes. Any frame builder worth their flux could put a nice pair of slidey drop outs on it. Although looking at the Mercian website this seems expensive - probably quite labour intensive though. Any buyer can have my custom chain tensioner with adjustable trim!

2006 Orange Patriot 66 medium/18" in silver with manitou Swinger 3-way. Excellent condition, amazing machine with race heritage! £545 inc. postage. Pics available shortly. Available to view in Sheff/Manchester/Notts

:shock: at the interest in this, I better add the following just so all is clear: the history of this bike is dubious I found it at the local tip in 2002, it having been crudely sprayed blue with virtually none of the original components, save a mangled rh DX shifter, velocity stem missing...

20" 1993 Kona Cindercone & P2 forks; cable guides on dt filed off but easily replaced circa £25 from Merican. Bad rattle-can job in black. Wheels aren't so good - probably not worth bothering with. Got original velocity stem sans quill and rear cable guide collar. Worth a restoration...

hello all, can anyone tell me whether there is any protection offered by paypal? I want to buy a frame from a Taiwanese seller of exotic underwear :shock: - was originally on ebay, I contacted them and they have sent a paypal invoice for the amount. Basically i think that they are sound...

sorry you're right, it was Tomac than ran Magura on a Giant, and that was probably prior to '96. Hope on UK team bikes.

the Kaprun win was in '96 in his first year with Giant - details here: http://www.giant-bicycles.com/en-gb/rid ... rs_bio/27/ There was a shot in MBi of RW on a polished/green ano. Verlicchi Saracen which is maybe where the confusion arises? It's what I though of first anyway. I think...

Anyone got knowledge on new forks for old frames? Looking at RS Tora, Magura Odur & Marzocchi MX Pro - most seem to have 85/100mm variants, so can anyone advise which to go for on a '96 RM Blizzard. Currently have '96 Marzocchi Z2 with 65mm, but BITD I know someone who ran 100mm Z1s on a '96...

check this shit out: A bargainous £50 and this project-to-be is yours!

Large 19.5"ish Merida Matts Race SX frame. 7005 alu. profiled butted tubing. Includes seatpost, seat clamp and UN52 BB. Paint flaking and some surface corrossion (white powdery stuff) but nothing that compromises the structure of the frame. Good singlespeed/hack/commuter? £35? Based in...

Hi all, this is still for sale now residing in Sheffield and can be delivered between there and Manchester, minus the RS1 (prob going to an erstwhile member on here) though it will have some Sugino Impels on. Do I hear £85? Will get pics if wanted. Cheers, Sam Edit: spec Frame...

why don't you just re-tap the thread and use a helicoil insert?

that's one of the best builds I've seen on here - why? Because it represents the era just before the downhill bubble burst, and with it the associated $300,000 contracts, huge Troy-Lee painted team buses and massive egos, and the 1999/2000 Diesel World Cup sponsorship fiasco. For a while the...

no I'm buying... maybe :? £4 each from Jungle for bearings an allen kit fit. My god this is like the wrenching decision choosing between bikes (carbon - scott/alu - fisher/FS - mt vision/hardtail - racey - arrghh!) when I was younger. Except it's not because now it my money and not my...

yep thought that maybe a problem! Seriously though, thanks for input, the opinion of people who have been into mtbs for a long time (and seen fads come & go) is often useful for advice so keep it coming! Anyone know a rough formula for costing these things? In the old bike shop it was 60%...

OK it's not strictly retro but does anyone care to give me their opinion on the 2nd hand value of a Santa Cruz Hecker? Thinking about buying one and thought I'd tap the collective wisdom of those that frequent RetroBike - some of you ride newer stuff?! I like it because Heckler's have been...
