This is my first retro bike build. I picked up the frame from here (thesneaker) after stumbling onto this site looking at old mtb's from back in the day. I always liked the look of the Alpinestars e-stay bikes when I first laid my eyes on one back in the early 90s. Here's what it looked like...

I have a lovely Igleheart segmented fork for my FC Bro Eddy. Got it direct from the guy. Awesome service, even awesomer fork. Rides nice.

Wow, like jumping in a time machine and picking one up new from the shop. Nice!

Apologize if this has been posted previously... Saw this as I was perusing fleabay, http://www.ebay.com/itm/Litespeed-Talia ... 43a8f4d3d6 It's from the same seller who's listed a Fat Chance mtb for $6k. Dunno about you , but $25k is a bit absurd for a bike, even if it is a triplet...

Ohhh... lovely! Too bad I'm poor!

I have an '11 Ala Carte that is 650b'd. Rides like a dream. Shame the Ala Carte has gone the way of the dodo bird.

Nice if your short and your name is Martha!

Aired up tires would raise the price another $100 to an even $7k.

Everyone has seen the Grello Fat Chance bike listed on eBay for $6k. Now it has a challenger in the "absurd" asking price wars. I present to you, http://www.ebay.com/itm/VINTAGE-BONTRAG ... 2567558d80

Sad, that Fat Ti is in name only. Dunno why the owner converted the head tube, it totally killed the uniqueness of the frame.

Interested, Sent you a PM!

Yup, sorry I was distracted at the pics that I failed to read the description.

whoa! That head tube looks longer than a seat tube on one of my bikes! I wonder if that bike was for a pro basketball player?

Awww, hell! You twisted my arm... PM in a sec...

Damn, that's a hella nice bike. If I didn't just recently get a A-star frame....

Dunno Rampage ??? It was sold to me as a 1995, just a guess from the seller and I tend to agree. I've tried to narrow down the year online.

OK, old banger here suggested I try a 34.9 clamp. Luckily I keep take-offs from my bikes. Digged into the parts bin for that clamp I knew I had from my Stumpy. Found it and tested it out. It fits! So anyone else wondering - a 1994/95(???) Alpinestars D900 aluminum e-stay frame takes a 34.9...

Did you know what he was sitting on? If I let it go for $35 he most likely didn't. Lucky bastard indeed who got that lovely frame.

Yeah, they're easy to work on. Just watch out for the little screws for the at the top of each leg. Easy to lose and strip them. Problem is sourcing new seals.

This question goes out to the Alpinestars guru's out there. I have a 1994 (I think) Alpinestars D900 aluminum frame. Pre-cursor to the AL-Mega I think. Anywho, the frame came without a seatpost clamp and I'm looking for a replacement. So the $64,000 question: What size seatpost clamp do I...
