Update: got my refund. Thanks again for all the feedback!

Glad to hear it, thanks for the comments!

That's reassuring. I've been waiting for a promised refund from him since July 23rd and communication seems to have stalled, but I'll keep waiting.

I'm trying to figure out if I'm in the middle of a scam type situation, and I'm just wondering if anyone else has had unusual or "off" interactions with Mike Berlin? He's on Instagram as mikeberlinsmountainbikes, he's got his own website, and is cited as having contributed some of his collection...

Really I was expecting more anti-dive and less stiction, but in those respects I had a hard time telling it apart from a Mag 21. Theoretically, the hub travel path keeps the wheelbase from shrinking, but again the travel is pretty minimal so it's hard to feel much of a difference. WAY better...

Took my '95ish Gt Avalanche out for a ride on some of the local trails. The Lawwill Leader fork was recently rebuilt by Risse Racing and worked pretty well! Better than a regular telescoping fork? Maybe... I always forget how noisy the Ringle hubs are. May not look like much here but it...

Seems like they were maybe only offered stock on the first generation Mooto YBB? One of the only honest to goodness 29ers still using rim brakes

Does anyone have pictures of the Answer Manitou 700c suspension fork actually mounted on a bicycle? Thanks!

Just checked and the BB that came with my group is just the standard, symmetric 109 njs that is still widely available. Marked ms and mw, which someone in a different forum thought meant that it was intended for use with both track and road double cranks. It looks like my spindle has been used...

Funny enough I don't have any solid plans for it. It was more of an instance of setting out to collect the parts on the basis of rarity. If I had a titanium Fuji/Sumitomo or Panasonic, I'd mount it on that. But seeing as I don't, I'll probably just try to trade it. I think the spindle that came...

Kind of neat- probably oriented towards tri/time trial? Not sure of the year Rare variation on an already scarce design Just posting for due diligence and documentation

After years of semi-idle searching, I just today received the "final" piece of this rare Sugino 75 Road group set. I say "final" in quotation marks because arguably a Tyrano wheel or set of wheels would make it even more complete, but those cost as much or more than the whole rest of the group...

I've had most of an M900 group laying around for several years at this point and decide to finally find a frame for it. Being a ti nerd/historian, I wanted something a little unusual. I grabbed the TM1000 when it came up on eBay because it's a little scarce, I like ti monostay bikes, and the...
