I just looked at Bikepedia & see that the 1994 Pro 825 has no seat post sizing, however the 1995 Parkpre Pro 825 has a 27mm (Bikepedia), this may give some kind of guidance....

STX RC cranks, stx rc rear mech, deore DX bottom pull front mech. Actually just found a chart on Sheldon Browns page giving bottom bracket sizes to fit various makes of crank, very useful (as he always is):-)

Guys, I recently bought a Parkpre Comp Limited steel frame, without a bottom bracket. My question is can anyone tell me what size bracket I need to buy? Or if not, how do I calculate what size bracket I will need to buy? I am pretty sure its a 68mm, but its the length I am not so sure about......

If my bike takes a 26.6mm seatpost will I need a 28.6mm clamp? I ask this question as clamps only seem to come in 3 regular sizes of which 28.6mm is the smallest. The bike btw is a Parkpre Comp Limited........

I am the proud owner of a Parkpre Comp Limited frame (not sure what year 1994 -7) does anyone know what size seat post these take? I think it must be below a 27mm but not sure exactly? Also can anyone tell me how to check the year of manufacture (Frame number F3090734)? Any thoughts will be...

Re: PARKPRE, TITANIUM 1994 *New ti forks feb 2013* Great bikes, I've just become the owner of .... Just a frame at the moment (not even got forks) its a 19'' steel frame & I am currently wondering how to progress with it....Must admit I'm a fan of the red DX set up with thumbies but I do...

£25 + £12 postage....... anyone any thoughts on the weight issue or the Manitou's?

I am looking at building up a retro hard tail circa 1995. The shocks I am considering are the following: Manitou SX, Pro XC, Comp XC; Rock Shox Judy SL, Judy XC, Mag 21, Quadra 21R or RST 381L or 171's. When the bike was new the fork was an option that you spec'ed when bought new & the above...

Hi guys, looking at a frame number 1901350048 (apparantly a Rock Lobster - aluminium frame) does anyone know if this is the case? If so what year please?

Thinking of a Parkpre as my next build, the main reason is because it appears from what I can find is that there is no specific parts that have to go on the bike to make it a Parkpre. In other words I can build more or less what I like. Can someone tell me if this is the case? What is the...

Took my Marin Bear Valley for ride this afternoon, my first bike with 'thumbies'. Mine are set to friction but I notice I can switch them to 'trigger' style shifting ie 1 click & into the next gear. I enjoyed the friction shift as you can fine tune the gear selection. This got me...

Looking at either a Marin East Peak 1999 or a Specialized FSR Enduro (I think around 2000). What is the majority of opinion, anything to look out for (I've not bought the bikes yet). Is one considerably better than the other, what do the masses think. I believe the Marin is STX RC & the...

Looking at either a Marin East Peak 1999 or a Specialized FSR Enduro (I think around 2000). I know this is the >1997 forum but I value the opinions of the people who hang out here.......Any prefferences & reasons why I should/shouldn't on either?

Now I know this is the wrong forum to ask this question in but there seem to be some very knowledgable Marin 'people' lurking around here, so I thought I'd pose the question here anyway.......Can anyone tell me whereabouts in the 1999 Marin full suspension line up does the East Peak fit in?

Can someone please tell me where abouts in the Marin full suspension range of 1999 did the East Peak fit?

Gotta love those Y bikes...........1997/8 Y3 Now on MTB tires..... sorry about the quick & dirty phone pic!!

Have not ridden her in anger for any distance, just around the garden & up & down the road making sure the gears wirk fine. The handle bars give an upright riding position, but that is what I was after as I am intending to use her as my summer comuter. The whole geomatory set up frame/bars makes...

Re: I've just finnished this one, the bike was given to me in a right mess, black tape all over the tubing, dent in top tube by a friend of my mums who had been widowed & was clearing out her husbands shed. She was going to scrap this! My mum told her I would do it up & she refused to take any...

Right she is finally finnished!! All original (as far as I am aware) apart from I've changed the brake levers for Shimano SLR, new cabling inner & outer, Raleigh seat, road tires & obviously the wheels are non standard, I'll have to have another go at those wheels at at a latter date...

Thanks for that I will see if I can give that a go tonight....
