Just make sure the oil doesn't "Swell" the seals or you'll be looking for a rebuild kit. Haven't overhauled a RS Mag21 in a while, so I can't tell about the current RS Oil. Some fork oils swell the seals and some don't.

Nice score. Early 90's model. The Campy cranks are worth a good bit. Nice shape good parts. I had one, they are well built and agile. I would have paid between $400-$500 on the spot simply because I got too many bikes in the living room...but I take it you got a way better deal.

The issues I've had with KMC is slipping / jumping under power after just 500 hundred miles and even when new they just seem to grind against my chainrings / cogs more than Sram & Shimano.

Mostly used Sedis (early 90s), Sram & Shimano chains. Had really bad luck with KMC. I usually avoid the low end and buy mid to high grade chains...depending if it's going on a city bike or a race worthy one.... So a fellow bike rider / racer swears by Wipperman Connex chains. From the reviews...

Nice background history included with the auction.

I have a set of RS Judy DH with Englund cartridges, the ride is ok, but they tend to bottom out easy and they don't seem to last that long (at least in my case). They are however fairly light. I would go with a spring conversion if I had to convert those shocks again. You can also try Hippie...

For the heavy duty riding where there's a lot of rocks & drop offs, I prefer my modern bike with 4" front & back full suspension (Ventana El Saltamontes). Hydraulic disc brakes & a good modern Fox front shock are are hard to beat.... Though I still ride my GT RTS hard it's just enough to take...

You can still raise it from the dead can't you? Just change out the sealed bearings. Which reminds me, Phil Wood is one of the few companies that can still make custom cups...needed one made for an old Swiss frame years ago, Phil Wood made one with the "Swiss" threading for $160 USD...I had...

Didn't See this was already posted...how do I delete this? Flex cable with gears at the ends that connects front tire with rear... http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=250210551300

Browsing eBay, came across this. Haven't seen this in years, actually forgot about them. The link: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=250210551300

Got a friend that went to 2 brakes on his fixie after being in 3 wrecks with cars in 2 months...yep they pulled in front or cut him off without looking. He said that he didn't like the way it looked but he could stop faster and it was safer...with less leg strain. I guess most of it depends on...

Made in the early 70's, always gets lots of money on eBay. I'm surprised it still looks that good after all these years...I've heard that it really is good stuff.

Other thing I've noticed over the years is that Crucial is good memory, but there's something funky about it where it does not like mixing with other brands of the same type...so just use all Crucial if you're going that route. I've used a dozen or so different brands and the only...

I managed to find the date on the locknut. Didn't see it at first since it's on the inner side..and had some dirt. After cleaning, the date code says it's from 1970. It does have the lube port on the bearing dust cap, once again, just dirty. Still spins nicely. I'll check out the recommended...

Awesome... This also reminds me, did someone make some add on "3-D molded face" head badge back in the early to mid 90's? It was basically a screaming face with the tongue sticking out... I saw one on a bike months ago, but didn't get a chance to ask the owner about it or take a picture of...

Good thought. I purchased some industrial strength contact cement from a local upholstery store for some projects years ago and the glue always held. The sales clerk said the glue they sell is commercial quality, not available at regular stores since it had way too many bad chemicals in it for...

They appear PINK but are really SILVER! Read the answers to questions at the bottom...talk about wrong white balance on his camera... http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=230213693737

These were expensive in the day....Wish he would have parted this one out since it has the hard to find Mavic cranks and hubs... http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=160201299754
