I saw everyones dream bike on the BBC series Him and Her. There is a Raleigh Activator 2 in the hall of the flat.

That model is awesome. I have a suggestion for a MTB model. It's by no means a great bike but in terms of model building I imagine it will be a challenge and the end result would look great. (It would probably be stiffer than the original as well). How about doing...

Replace any external screws with security ones. They are cheap and easy to do. I've got those T hinges on my shed so had to make sure no body could just unscrew the door.

Use Caustic soda. I had the same problem. I tried drilling the post and putting a bar through it, clamping it in a vice, soaking it in wd40 and also tried cutting down the inside of the tube. There was at least 10 inches inside the frame and it wouldn't budge. I stripped the frame down and...

I'm pretty new to this site and only stumbled across it when I was searching for a Giant Team World Cup Atlanta similar to the one I owned in the mid 90s. Now I have a retro Marin project in the shed and look at every bike I pass to see if its anything interesting. I think that my new found...

Hi, does anyone know a diameter for the seat post for these frames. I had major problems getting the old one out and had to use caustic soda in the end. I've measured the seat tube internal diameter and it looks about 26 and a bit but I've seen posts at 26.2 and 26.4. I don't want to fit the...

That is one seriously nice bike.

Cheers fellas. I'm bidding on a crankset so if I get that then I'll decide on a sprocket size.

Hi everyone, I'm fairly new to this site and retro mountain biking. A couple of months ago I found a photo of my steel framed Giant Team Atlanta that I had in my teens and decided I'd love to try and find one again. During my searches I came across a Marin Palisades Trail from 1991. As I...

Thanks for that. I'm collecting the bike tomorrow so I'll see what condition its in close up and take it from there.

Decals. Hello, I've recently started to search for a retro MTB and I'm hoping to get my hands on a 91 Palisades Trail very shortly. (I own a 2009 version so thought it would be a good addition to get my retro bike collection started). I've just read the thread about your Pine Mounatin and...
