    Found a fork :) 1997 Marzocchi Super T

    Found a pretty cool fork I would have never expected to find locally.... The "Scott" frame piqued my curiosity, I was pretty certain it was not a Scott, quickly found out it was a Marin. I'd been looking for an older dual suspension frame with canti studs just in case another vintage Enduro race...

    la mia BIANCHI NTH Titanium megatube

    This is from the 96 catalog, the wording leads me to believe the same frames may have been used in the 95 season as well although I can't say for sure, most likely with 1" head tubes.

    la mia BIANCHI NTH Titanium megatube

    I think the earlier Martini's were 1", at least mine is. But mine also has the canti stub out back. I would guess at some point they deleted the canti stub around 97, probably went to 1-1/8" around the same time. That would have likely effected the Martini Racing & NTH frames as they are the...

    Retro bike racing

    In the States we had a vintage class for a Team Enduro ... it was rough racing on old bikes 15 miles with 3k ascent/descent, but we had a blast. I'm in the 3rd pic, I was breathing hard not absolutely terrified, I swear.

    Frame protection options

    3m Vivvid tape is what I use. Just hit the high wear/rub areas.

    Found my Mojo now.. (Build thread)

    Yeah it was mine, the frame and fork. Bought it as a backup for a bianchi mega ti along with a moots rigormootis... Bianchi didn't die and I couldn't bring myself to let it go. Lacked the room and needed an upgrade for the modern bike. I wouldn't say mistakes were made, but I do miss that bike a...

    Why do you collect retro bikes?

    Because retrobike and a strong currency conversion. Now I have 4 spots, if a better one comes along the least rideable goes away. It's getting pretty tough though, the 4 spots are pretty well stacked... Apparently I've compensated with forks.

    Sup’s Pile of Bike Projects

    Shipping a frame via USPS isn't actually as bad as you'd think. I've sent a few over the pond. Nice work on that auction, was tempted but the distance kept me in check.

    Recommendations of a good capable off-road tyre that's available in 26"

    Sticky compounds like Maxxis 3c, Continental black chili or Schwalbe maxx grip will go a long way towards sticking to wet roots and rocks compared to a single, dual or harder compound. DHF/DHR would be my go to sloppy conditions tires, although that's for the modern bike. True a vintage bike...
