U brakes are more exclusive and more cool. I wouldn´t chage. Check the brake pads and buy some good ones like cool stops etc.

But OBD ports are only in e-bikes ...

Here a shop have solve that very well. They are two guys that run a shop, both are with the customers and one is XC pure the other Enduro. They have 3 mechanics only for that: Fix bicycles but some times if the shop is crowded they help. They can talk with customers, and work confy. But you...

I cannot see the droputs, but it doesn´t look to me like a Marin ... That detail and serial number will solve the mistery.

🫣 Probably the owner din´t notice that. It could be repair adding new material with some welding and sanding and you will not notice. I would paint in another colour, because that red will never be the same. Probably I will repaint in black that area and the other side too to protect against rust.

Collect? I don´t collect bicycles, I ride them.

I have been checking rear tensioners for bromptons and .... quite nice but quite expensive...

It is not a Derailleur, it is the tensioner, that has internal hub gears, probably 3. Brake (only one) has been upgraded and the seat post is Titanium too and some other parts changed. It will look much better in full turquoise and black peripherals ....

I didn´t realize that wiggle was Chain reaction brother. I always visit only Chain reaction and after the pandemic and brexit they did well with prices, they didn´t charge extra, they have a continental warehouse etc I thought they were doing well, prices were not crazy but good enought. I have...

What happens with Chain reaction. The page have change a lot and prices are not competitive. If you compare with other e-shops the prices are bad, now you can not seach by discount etc . Lot of changes and no one are good. EDIT: I have read that chainreaction will close? Amazing. this year...

May 2023 ... Dic 2023. I have the Holly grial of the moderns and retro bicycles. A Ti Yo Eddie 27.5. Looks like in the 90´s but rides like a moderns bicycle. Not finished yet. I´m done with the retro stuff, this is what I was always trying to find: Retro has good looking and good memories but...

A update. The seat post failed. During the last route, about in the 20km of 65 the bicycle started to do some creacking noise. I thought it was the crank set, the BB was new but not the WI cranks. I tighten the cranks and the noise continued. Afeter 50km it was horrible. Well, the last weekend...

Quite cool, looks good but the chainrings teeths are a bit worn out, needs a new one 😅

Pff, sometimes I whant to leave the retro world. With more than 30 years many have cosmetic problems and it is not easy to matain that nice 80´s and early 90s paint jobs. I have ordered a custom frame to a famous frame builder and the frame will look a bit retro but with moden geometry and I...

I have this problem in my Manitou Mach 5 fork. It is small but it has started. Sad, because it is mint.

But if you whant to go traditional ... And for the purist, this nice titanium bottle cage: Lithe. The problem for me is that my frame is not this colour, it is not grey, it is gold. The finish is not sandblasted.

Chsss, don´t mess with that. It exist the bicycle variant ... Only 36 euros ... and looks nice https://www.mibotadevino.com/h2o 🧐

Imagine a muddy trail and that spokes or some like this ones of the photo ... what should we do to recover that whitheness? washing machine? Not for me, I don´t whant a wheel set for a season, I´m not a racer.

I still ride a 26 most of the time, I don´t like 29er but I like 27.5". My 26 from 2007 is a 68º head angle, same as today and in that era the feeling was quite different fron the other manufacturers, it was a bit long, 68º etc And today is my main bicycle after 16 years. I like XC and fast...
