Tektro is not known for his powerfull brakes. They do good stuff, never have a problem with a tektro product but ... reliable and not powerfull, the same for disc brakes and V brakes, other brands do better, perhaps you can change the pads for some Cool Stop Dual compound ones etc I was close...

You can go for something exotic and cool instead a average 90s MTB and every time you take it, it will make a interesting commuting route. ;) I love this one, not easy to buy. Hand made, amazing fork and details. Al mega or cro mega are always cool bicycles. Cheap: Marin, looks cool. and...

A bridge, the main door of my city and a church.

Yellow?, a Grisley has to be shiny silver with balck and purple components. :) I didn´t own one, but I owned her brother, and was quite nice, diferent with that big tubes. I like the frame but mine was a bit basic and has to go. This at least need the black LX and some nice wheels, my wheel set...

When you have only the frame and no original parts ... it is the open world. Not easy to match everything. Good luck. 👍 :)

I need a top pull, LX or XT or XTR ... all are bottom pull? :confused:

1983 ... In the 80s they have invented and tested near every thing: Dropper post, forks, rear suspensions, auto guears, one chain ring ... Hi Yeti, this curve was 2 years earlier than you ;) (1983)

Very cool front Hub o_O ❤️

I know were my BH Top Line or Grisley Mega is. It was in good condition, decals perfect, shiny aluminium, and a near brand new XC 700 fork that works good and serviced. I sold it because the wheels were not very good and need some money to level up and was too expensive to put in similar level...

Fluor paint is a pain. To keep in good shape from 1993 it was easy: No one has near used it until now that I´m finishing the assembly and the Frame is covered all the time from light. Cool but a pain. My ex Meta was fluor and didn´t fade it BUT it was Mate and very dirty paint. For me the...

Good job, looks nice. Again it is a wave of GT projects, but all retro. They were very cool, for me was one of the greatest in the 90s but i-drive kill them.

That girvin with fat tires is quite a thing. The TI frame looks like ... I have seen that before. A group was ordering some titanium frames to a "far east" company and we found that the were in Aliexpress too they talk via aliexpress and made some gravel, MTB titanium frames some with their own...

The serial says S- and 1988 Pine mountain in one post was marked as "AS", so the A should be hidden . More about serial numbers in: https://www.retrobike.co.uk/threads/decoding-marin-frame-numbers.433668/ https://www.retrobike.co.uk/threads/help-with-marin-frame-numbers-please.37430/ And...

Serial number will solve the mistery ...

You can go easy as me in my last buit: Avis SD, in black or in silver. Or some XT, or some Extralite ultralevers if money is not a problem.

I use one of this in front forks. Buy one big, paint in black and put a screw to pull it out. With this you avoid mud inside. And that is all, nothing to worry 👍

That is the upper tube? It is usually close, I haven´t seen that before 😳 Mine was this and the hole was closed.

I would not recomend to do your self. Of course I have bend one and of course I have tried to fix it. It usually look good but for some reason the derailleur didn´t chage as well as when it was straight. In a shop they use a compass and with the wheel they will fix it. The aligment is with the...
