Re: Thanks for the referral to Dr. Marzocchi, Retro Spud. I will get in contact, and see what magic he can work. I have access to some NOS replacement forks locally, but would hate to lose the original color & decals. 24pouces, do you have documentation regarding the reinforced seat tube? My...

Re: Hello again, Here are the "after" pictures. The yellow saddle now belongs to another member of this forum, and will be replaced by a black one, unless I find some grey Onza Ules grips to match my grey Flite. Anyone holding? Also, just as I got the final pieces into play, the fork...

Hello all, I was lucky to get this one, as the classified ad disappeared while I was traveling on business overseas, and I only had a street address connected to it: no name, email or phone number. I took a chance after returning home, and traveled there one Friday evening after work, hoping...

Re: Hello Trademark, I snapped a couple of quick shots of this red, Italian flat bar on my way out of the garage. Specs and dimensions should be readable from the line on the packaging with the red dot. Good news: I have two of them, and they're both new. Bad news: I live in Switzerland...

Approaching glow-in-the-dark Hello fellow lovers of fluorescence, Did someone mention yellow & pink? Here is a sunrise shot from earlier this year. Here is what it looks like during the day. It's still pretty bright, for being nearly 30 years old. As close as I can tell, this Swiss-made...

Re: My vote belongs to the Ventana Marble Peak FS. I have been resisting the temptation to buy one which is too small for me for months. Coincidentally, Sherwood Gibson of Ventana built the first Turner frames, as well. I wonder if small parts like the pivots are interchangeable?

Hello everyone, These days, with XC, marathon, trail, enduro, freeride, downhill, dirt jump, adventure, plus, fatbike, and all of the other market segments within the current mountain bike industry, I'm sure a lot of us appreciate the times when a mountain bike was just a mountain bike. So...

Re: Thanks for the kind words. The serial number is KSM152. This Moda has oversized (1 1/8") fork, headset and stem. Most I have seen are 1". OS suggests later production, but fillet-brazed construction suggests earlier, if I understand correctly. Anyone else seen one with this combination...

Hello everyone, Here is a frame/fork/stem which I saved from the local bicycle coop, just before it was scheduled to be scrapped. I love Columbus Max and fillet-brazed construction, so once the price dropped, there was no question that I would grab it. It shows signs of having been used as...

Re: The chain stay end caps are pantographed with D, which matches other Rossin brand bikes thought to have been made by Dancelli. Not every one of my bikes is connected to Ferraroli, but I can see how the fork crown might have suggested it. It is strange that, on this and the other Audi...

Hello everyone, Here is one which I received as a frame, fork and headset. The details of the frame suggest that it was made pre-indexed shifting, but as I am saving my older parts for another build, and couldn't find any appropriate donor bikes, I fell back to M730. I've been able to find...

Hello everyone, I have twins, and as of a few weeks ago, they now own twins. I knew of Geliano, the bike brand from French dealer Cycles Duret, as a result of their wild airbrush paint schemes and split seat tube and top tube designs on road bikes. Until I saw these two bikes, I had never...

Hello everyone, Does anyone have the bolt, washer, upper clamp and lower clamp from a Shimano SP-M730 Deore XT seat post for me? Basically, I need everything but the pillar and head assembly - everything which can be removed from the post. I suspect that the hardware from a Deore DX or XTR...

Re: Hello minifreak, Here are some I have which are excess to my current builds. All could stand to be be cleaned up a bit more, but are equipped with NOS pads/holders. M900 front and rear with matching pads and non-XTR cable carriers M900 front with M910 cartridge pads and early XTR cable...

Dura-Ace EX brake pads Hello from Switzerland, I believe these are the brake pads you are looking for. I see some on eBay, but not many which are complete with the hardware like these. PM me if you are interested. No pressure. Cheers, The Kid

Hello Stylus, I am in Switzerland, and might be able to help. Is the item you were looking for last month still available? Cheers, The Kid

Hello everyone, In addition to the requirements in the title, ideally, I'd like it with canti bosses brazed on and as little as possible (no rack/fender eyelets, no low-rider mounts, no holes through the crown for accessory/light/reflector mounting). The frame was custom made in Zürich, and...

Re: 1995 Coyote Ultralite -> new pic on page 3 Nice bike, and good to see the build evolving over time. In deciphering the information stamped into the frame, I hope I can add to what Anthony has already suggested. Fairly Bike Manufacturing Company is a Taiwan-based assembly factory. They...

Hello everyone, There is a special place in my collection for vintage MTBs brazed by builders traditionally associated with road bikes who later stopped making them. The next time I travel to North America, I have both Marinoni and Fuso (Dave Moulton) projects to bring back to Switzerland...

Re: Hi brutuskrombi, That looks right to me. Some detailed photos of the bottom bracket lug and serial number analysis should prove beyond a reasonable doubt that it was brazed in Switzerland, not Japan. Look for a PM from me soon. Cheers, thekidmalone
