That's a great result for the Ridgeback! Pleased it went down well with the BOTM voters among a strong field of entries. Congrats to @raidan73 for a well deserved win. Cheers all. boy"O"boy

@stew-b Did you manage to find any? There's a 1990 on eBay at the moment in good condition https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/276610626795?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=Nl94vTxaQZG&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=3Hgwr3rfR1i&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY Cheers boy"O"boy

Hi all. I'm offering these Rock Shox Mag 20 for sale. I bought these about 5 years ago with the idea that these would be ideal for a Salsa a la carte 'Jellybean' build. I never did score the salsa and now I'm at full mancave capacity and having these around would only encourage me to build...

@JCS Thanks! The smallest of nods to it's previous incarnation but felt it needed some reference as it has become known as 'The Iceman' Smallest of updates too. Custom stalk stripped and repainted in gloss black. Got it back from clear coat this afternoon. Build planned for this...

boy"O"boy's 2015 Cotic Soul MK4 No build thread for this one... My chosen ride for this weekend's British Heart Foundation London to Brighton off-road 2024. Much more forgiving over the 62 miles than a retro ride. Rode the same event on it last year and it was superb! *Updated pic from this...

@27motorhead Looks like I need to up my game when it comes to the photos!!😂😂 Really good selection of entrants so far this month. Looking forward to it. 👍🏻 Cheers boy"O"boy

You could also get Mavic Gao Dakar rims... I have some on a Mavic hubbed wheelset Don't know if these rims were then re-branded as M6CD rims later? Oxygen/M6CDrims have a different profile to the Energy /M7CD. The latter are narrower In addition to the M261CD there was also an M281CD. I have...

No problems. Definitely Campagnolo Centaur - here's the pic from the 1991 Catalogue. (Although some Campagnolo parts were identical across group sets - There's a thread somewhere that explains the differences) Cheers. boy"O"boy

@Mickael49 Tricky one to value this. As @Gtpulse rightly says - it has more value in parts than complete. The Campagnolo Electa saddle, 27.0mm Centaur seat post and Thorr wheel set being the bigger money items. However. It's a very original and complete Endeavour. One of the rarest Dynatechs...

Yes. Mine has the machined Magura clamps too. Lovely RC100 Tom. I like the Mavic derailleurs and Syncros parts - maybe the Grip Shift replaced the Mavic wishbone shifters that weren't the best when it came to shifting. The black stem and forks (tied in Nicely with the black RC30 crown) were...

Hi all. I'd like to add my Ridgeback into this month's BOTM boy"O"boy's 1989 Ridgeback 604 SIS Ah....the memories of that '89 Freewheel Catalogue! - The top of the tree was the fillet brazed 605 SIS. The 604 SIS was next with Tange Prestige tubing and a full Shimano M730/732 XT group set...

Lovely bike. But it's already had a go in a 'special month' BOTM https://www.retrobike.co.uk/threads/botm-november-2022-amnesty-special-the-vote.454179/ and also May 2020 BOTM https://www.retrobike.co.uk/threads/botm-may-2020-%E2%80%93-u-brake-rollercam-special-the-vote.412913/ and also Nov...

So. A couple of details to sort before final build. The seat post clamp needs a repaint. This is a genuine one from an aluminium "O" ...so it's correct fitment for the age. The XT Q/R had been 'borrowed' from the Serotta Off-road Pro-flex prototype project. A nice new one/ VGC will be sourced...

Cheers @markoc The build is well underway. Finessing the details. Still in shock that it actually returned after being lost for 2 years. @Cheshire1980 Nice bit of info/ confirmation right there Calum. It's too small to be Kevin's bike...which I thought anyway. Interesting this was found dumped...

Love Thumbies. My bikes between them cover most shifter types.... everything from Campagnolo bullet, Mavic wishbones and DX STI, but the preferred option if I'm not doing a catalogue build has to be the Thumb shifter. Deore DX, Deore XT, Campagnolo, and the Suntour XC pro. They never did an...

1995 Ridgeback Team RS from midsummer '95 MBUK Review

Hi all. Hadn't realised that the hacker had deleted the 'show us your Marins' thread. Here's mine - 1992 Marin Pine Mountain Browning suspension Possibly one of the rarest Marins out there.. not just a bolted on fork, it's frame geometry was specifically designed to use the Browning suspension...

😂😂 Thanks Ed. The Iceman has probably been in the hands of a few Orange Fanatics on here! It's definitely an Orange Aluminum "O" prototype - The '91 Catalogue is one of them but 19" frame size - The MBi May '91 magazine article is another 19" one but with different decals/graphics - The Iceman...

Thanks Calum As the previous owner, and part of the story of this bike...when @MartyP posted the "is this an Aluminum O?" Thread, you must have been excited to see it again nearly as much as me! The Evri lost and found story definitely adds to the Iceman history. Hoping to do this justice with...

So .. finally, 3 years after my ownership of the Iceman began, I can at last start the build (and begin a build thread!) Starting with the all important Fisher Type bottom bracket, that I'd fortunately saved..... Then onto adding the NOS strong light 1 1/4" headset and forks. Seat post is a...
