Thanks guys - i put piocs of some of the bikes on the main newbie thread http://www.retrobike.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=121914&highlight= I'll post more pics as things progress and as i buy even more stuff :D I'm lucky in that i deal with waste as part of my job so the majority of...

another east coast newbie Hi all - i've been bogling around for a bit and this is the first of me noticing a MacRetro newbie thread :? i'm in East Lothian and currently have a GT aggressor, Carrera Vulcan, Raleigh Activator, an Edin Bicycles Cuillin frame and a partially built Diamondback...

big.eck - got a 700c front if you want it - quando hub/rigida rim and schwalbe tyre - have no idea how it appeared in the scrap heap next to the shed. Also got an Emmelle Californian frame if anyone wants it - dayglo green/orange but had been badly covered in black rattle can - black comes off...

i did go for it :D - pick up on wed - apparently bike is in immaculate condition - 22" frame which is good for me (6'4") - i figured that if it was cack then i could strip parts for my diamondback but prob now end up with yet another bike - just have to keep looking for bits for the DB :lol...

got a chance of this bike for £30 - owner says he bought it in 98 but according to bikepedia they didnt do a gx in 98 so i'm assuming it's a 97 - should i just take it at that price? - and keep filling the shed up :D

pics?

it's raining, i've been out on a short ride and now i'm feeling some shed love :D

retrorides :D - found some threads on there to do with bikes - think i might be a bit retro 8)

thanks guys - off to the shed to practice :D - unless i go off on a tangent :lol:

has anyone managed to recreate the diamondback smoky finishes? - just wondering how it was done :D

got a chance of one for a bargain price - looks fairly original even down to the Insyc forks :( - can anyone tell me much about this bike - is it worth buying? thanks

I had a Kangoo which was great and spacious - swapped it for a Merc V220 - 7 seats and plenty of luxuries - the kids love it :D - i get 40 mpg ish with mine and that includes the daily commute - the only downside is that everyone always want to sit in the back and i just feel like a bloody...

crappy frame in the tip pile, raleigh is getting forks put back on as i might get a tenner for it :D and i'll check emmelle size in the morning - i'd much rather anything went where it might get used.

I've been raking in the junkpile behind the shed today as i was looking for bits for my DB Ascent and went off on a tangent looking at some bits i've picked up - first is a Raleigh Avalanche - can anyone tell me much about this - I think its late 90's. I do have the forks but some twat has put...

tyre spotter!!!! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

and thats only half of the pile - and then theres the shed :lol:

i've finally got around to takin some pics - My Activator - I think it was bought around 92 and still going despite having been stolen and recovered - shame the suspension was crap. Claude Butler Miura rescued from a bin - a bit scruffy but just needs a good service. DB Ascent...

pics will follow - also have a diamondback ascent, i think its 1989 but not 100% sure - someone can confirm when i post pics. i've also picked up an old claude butler but cant remember the model and have another raleigh mtb - i've also got an Edinburgh Bicycles Revolution Cuillin frame which is...

Hi guys - i've just stumbled on this site and love it - i've just got back into MTB's after too long - i've got an old Raleigh Activator in the shed thats still in fairly original nick - i used it a lot when it was new and at the time i thought it was great. I've just picked up a GT agressor...
