    Tip find GT Palomar, 199?

    It looks like it was equiped with Altus or acera and tourney, that fork not sure if it is factory (I have seen more Palomar with that RST, but the rigid one is the most common) but it looks out of place, perhaps a 381 was more suitable. Here is the spec list...

    Tools - Show Me Your DIY Tools

    Mine is one of this, and little more. A long screw for head sets, some tools for the BB and to stract the casete and crank set. But this one is my tool for every thing. And this hammer 😁 I can change both sizes if needed.

    Old Skool Adverts--- Got a Favorite, Post it.

    When I said a real F16, I mean a real F16 bicycle. 🧐 Barends ...aircraft stianless steel that weights "only" 227gr ... that was my head stem and handle bar weight in the 00´s (Sintace F99+ a race face carbon bar with titanium reinforcements that weights around 107gr)

    show us your Rocky Mountains!

    Mine has evolve from a much colorfull one to a more ... less striking. My era of white and blue. It is a 970 and 985 built. I like the 970 RD and I own one, but all my bicycles are 10 speeds, so all has the 985 XTR except the Yeti with the 12 speeds. But I like more 10x2 or 10x3 transmissions...

    I don't like moots anymore. Or Wilderness Trail Bikes (WTB). New wheel size 750d anyone?😐

    Of course bigger is better, that is why black sheep has developed a 36" inch wheel size monster ... and that is the reason why this is a bad idea. I have seen in the shop lot of gravel bikes with 2" tires or a bit more, like MTB but now MTB has 2.3 and 2.5 tires because ... I don´t know really...

    show us your Rocky Mountains!

    I bought this one in 2007 brand new and it is a 2006 model, no carbon stays, I didn´t like the 2007 model with carbon parts 👍 It has a modern geometry. In long travel mode the head angle is 68º ... XC today 😅 It is rock solid, all componets have been choosen to last for ever. Even the Mono...

    Whats this thingy and why !!

    Now they have the same pulley and has the same pourpose, the diference is that today Sram cable routing design is much close and needs the pulley. The 90s idea is back, as always. Nothing new today.

    Less than a month it lasted. I went to work to Sines in Portugal (very nice and pacefull place) for 9 months and I didn´t have my bicycles with me, so I thought something diferent could work in that 40km long beach or better known as "death trap for fat bicycles beach" 🤨 That sand is...

    I have a dream!!! ... but I woke up :(

    Im thinking to race it. It is a Team issue, so it could be fast even today. I have done with a 2006 ETSX and I was second in a easy race. So … perhaps 🤔 or the ETSX again. I love that bicycle.

    '97 Breezer Lightning

    Nice one. I always like the Lightning specially the rigid one with xtr900 and ritchey componentes. I´m that kind of person that looks all chips and think how to fix it. But I don´t like repaint. I love the original paint job. I had the Alien many years ago ... it was cool but I didn´t like...

    RM ELEMENT 70 my dream bike built.

    Brakes upgrade to Magura MT-8. I have sold one retro bicycle and a modern 27.5 so I took the brakes that were new and now they are on this.
