Cantilever bosses with the spring pin locating holes on the outside. Useless!

I'll add mine here - a 1995 Trek 7900. Bonded carbon tubes to aluminum lugs/rear end. Bought it a couple years ago in near mint condition. This was their top end hybrid back in the day. Alas, I sold it last summer. I found the ride to feel strange, like the back tire was low or...

My 1995 Trek 7900. Top of the line in Trek's hybrid line: And my 2009 Kona Smoke 2-9: It's not exactly vintage but its not very different from a vintage bike, and it meets the description of 700c wheels, big tire clearance, mtb like.... There is a bit of a story behind this one... Maybe...

I had a 95 Kila, of Tange Concept Prestige tubing, that I still regret selling 17 years ago. My all time favorite bike; even more so than my other high end MTB, a 2003 Curtlo Epic Mountaineer of True Temper OX Platinum tubing: As far as those other wheels go, they are very nice and may end...

Well, I wasn’t really liking the blue hubs with this purpley frame, and despite their being a very nice wheel set, I couldn’t keep them true. I’m no longer the svelte 165 pounder I once was, so I figured a wheel set that was a bit more burly was justified. Interesting that, about the Nitro...

So I picked this up last winter for a song. It needed some work but under the grime was a really nice bike. It looks to me like it has spent the majority of its life hanging in a garage. The Marzocchi XC51 forks were covered in oily grunge and were limp. After sourcing some new seals, the...

Thank you @fietskrokodil, although I couldn't translate the writing, I found the pics of the Gilles Berthoud labeled frame very interesting. It looks exactly like my K2 frame. Gould it be a Gilles under that K2 labeling?

Interesting stuff! Thank you for posting that information! That's the only other Montagna I've seen (pictures or otherwise). It looks to perhaps be an earlier version?

Yes, that was me posting over there. I tend to spend more time on bikeforums than here, but that link you posted is very interesting. Looks like the same basic design; but a little more info would be great. The thread mentions John Olsen but I'm unsure who John Olsen is? And was it ever...

Thanks for the replies; as I said initially, I’ve had it built up in the past and have ridden it off road. Kinda wishing I hadn’t sold the Accu-Trax forks I had; they went so nicely with the Girvin Flexstem I still have. Oh well. I think a U / roller cam on the front would be sick but finding...

Thanks for your input Ted. I don’t think it’s a great frame (maybe it is) but it’s certainly not terrible. It’s definitely interesting with that strange BB/downtube junction. I’m thinking I may hang some of my funky parts on it just for fun. Wish it had cantilever mounts instead of U-brake…...

I will be using some P2 forks I harvested from a very knackered 92 Explosif. The threads were damaged beyond usability so I cut them off and machined a piece of 4130 cromoly aircraft tubing to make a threadless steer tube and welded the whole thing together. Paul Brodie does the same thing on...

I picked this frame up about 15 years ago for all of $20 and still haven’t gotten my money’s worth out of it. It’s spent most of that time hanging in obscurity in my garage. For a short while it was a fully built, functioning bicycle with some Accu-Trax forks and GT branded Hadley- hubbed...

Not as exotic as all these Brodies but it is Canadian - 1994 Norco Nitro:

Re: Landshark?

Ugh.. how do I make it so it shows up as an image here in the message box?

So I picked this up over the weekend excited to finally score a decent deal on what appears to be a nice fillet brazed frame. But. Can't find any info whatsoever about it. Any help you guys can give is awesome. All the XT-M730 parts have a date code from late 1989 or early 1990, so I'm...
