    What was Your teen bike dream? Is the reality as good?

    Oh yes - continuing on for my Pace desires - always really wanted the 'soon to be released' Pace XC full susser. I've been waiting since 1992, they only came out this summer!

So for me - function =...

    I have a set of Ringle 'holey' ti QRs in pewter and want to find a matching seat QR. Are these available seperately from the seat post collar they made? It's for a steel frame with built in lugs for a seat bolt/QR to tighten against. Would the QR from a collar work minus the collar on this...

    Syncros flat bars

    After good/great/NOS condition syncros flat handlebars, either silver or black, from early-mid 90's. I know of the EA-70 'hardcore' bar and the Proseries - were there any others? Especially after ones with 'Syncros' under the grips so it can be seen with clear grips. Anyone? thanks, ian

    Purple world.

    If anyone else is keen to split postage to the UK and buy a group lot of stuff I'm super interested in the syncros bar. What would be the best way to do it - one person put in snipes on everything, or ask him if could stick multiple buyers stuff in one parcel? Ian
