tout bon :) Very unique bicycle!

Posting a picture would be helpful. Cut some plastic from a milk jug, paint it and neatly attach with zip ties?

Yes, I almost postponed my build when I saw that. I didn't think any existed anymore. It's a shame it doesn't have the front suspension fork as the one in the magazine picture posted in his thread.

Wow, a lot of interesting info. I didn't know that Marin and Larkspur made MTBs in the 1970s.

Although they are not the fanciest bikes this month, they are definitely some of the most rare! The Hanebrink (probably the first rear suspension bike) and the Cleland and the English Cycles Range Riders are from the pre-production mountain bike era before the 26" wheel was the standard.

That is sweet! I love the gold accents around the lugs. Reminds me of old Raleighs. 😍😍😍😍😍

I'm 5'9 and still ride my BMX occasionally for leg workouts (2002 Redline Supa X--midschool). As a midschool bike it is rather heavy (about 31lbs) with Tuffwheels. I recently put 11 inch tall bars (S&M Elevenz) and a layback seatpost that I keep extended to the max (this is the setup you will...

Finally adjusted and tuned! Took it out for first ride. Rides like a 24" wheel BMX cruiser.

Thanks Tsundere! I bought it tatty, but reasonably cheap (350 USD). Came with most of the original parts. Just needed to be cleaned up, add a few catalog correct parts and new decals from vintage cannondale. Paint is even original, just had to touch up a few chip spots with paint I mixed myself.

Thanks! Good info! So I see...the coloured residue left behind is not permanent. I thought that may be the case. Kind of a waste of money. :(

Diacomp 990's are still produced for BMX. You can pick up new ones for 35 USD.

I apologize on behalf of my country for bastardizing the beautiful language you gave us.
