Not my bike, just seen in passing: http://www.usedvictoria.com/classified- ... ._13523178 I hope someone worthy gets it, and not some hipster who just wants the Brooks saddle!

I picked up a "BUFFO" frame today - trying to determine its age and origin. The Internet thinks Buffo is a strong clown. So my thinking is that it's either a department store brand or a lower brand name by someone big. It's also meant for a rider who is somewhat big - 24" c-c ...

'90s saddles Just picked up a '95 Selle Italia and a '91 Kona OEMed Avocet: eBay seems to indicate prices ranging from $5 to $50, which isn't that helpful. I would say they are in good condition, some mild scratches and wear but nothing too scary. What are they worth? M

I can remember pulling apart my shredded STIs and rebuilding them. It took days. Both the ratchet pawl and the ring of teeth had been chipped and were useless. I had got a set of "for parts" shifters from the bike shop (who warned me there were "96 moving parts" or somesuch) and finally...

"Fair" condition XT kit What's XT stuff worth if it has been through a crash? I have a set of thumbies (SL-M732) and a medium cage rear derailleur (RD-M735) that have clearly seen some mountain biking, or at least some mountain bike crashing. All the sales I've seen have been...

Hello, I am just starting a running restoration of a (1990?) Diamond Back. The cable routing under the bottom bracket is unfamiliar to me. I am used to seeing a plastic gadget that guides the cables around the BB shell. This bike appears to have plastic tunnels that... hold the cable...

No window on the brake levers. I did see those on a Scott ECS I foolishly sold, though. I also found this: http://www.ic.gc.ca/eic/site/ica-lic.nsf/eng/lk-39409.html For the lazy: it's "who invested in what" in Canada in 1994. "CycleTech Canada Ltd., Calgary, AB" who "Distributes and...

Here is a slightly better, although still blurry photo: I didn't realize that they were all bad photos until I got home. Next time I will take the tripod (and get the bike out of the cluttered basement) Note: very short head tube, gently sloping top tube. Which one is turn three...

1990-91 XT I just got a well-used 1990/91 Tech "Wild Thing" MTB that I'm trying to decide what to do with. I have no emotional attachment to this bike whatsoever, so I'm basically weighing "part it out" versus "restore it and sell to some unappreciative hipster" Can someone give me a...

OK, let's try some photos... Tech "Wild Thing" The chainstay protector says "designed by Cycle Tech Canada" so I assume the logo is a stylized CT. True Temper AT - "All Terrain"?

I did take some pictures - will post them shortly. My new-to-me camera does not like overcast light, so the colors are wonky, but you can see the frame geometry. The brake cable is routed under the top tube; shifter cables are under the downtubes (roadie style). Rear dropouts are forged...

Has anyone got info on the brand "Tech"? I picked up a Tech "Wild Thing" today. From what I can tell it is pre-93 - Deore XT components, canti brakes, 21 speed, double-thumb rapid fires... I assume pre-93 because it doesn't match up well to bike-pedia's page on the Tech Wildthing. (True...

Cascade Fire Mountain Well, my dad DID measure it, and apparently input the measurements into some sort of CAD file... but he hasn't sent it to me yet. I'll pester him. M

Cascade Fire Mountain I took a trip out to the parent's place this weekend (and also a trip to Arizona... but not to ride). The Cascade Fire Mountain does indeed have a sloping top tube. Not a lot, but it's there. I have asked my Dad to measure it up proper. I also tried to take a...

Cascade Fire Mountain I know this is a stale thread - but if anyone wants exact measurements for the lavender / pink Cascade Fire Mountain, I can get them next week. I suspect that the photo has some camera distortion - I think the top tube does slope. -Malcolm (aka BICYCLE REPAIR MAN)
