I bought it! Thought it would go higher. Pretty sure it’s an 18” 1992 M800 Beast of the East. I’ll know when I get it and share some photos here. If the frame is toast for any reason then the parts should be worth the risk. With some wheels, brakes and chain it should be up together pretty...

Tange Prestige frame too

Might sell mine 😬

That's my old bike! Loved building that one up. Shame I didn't't get to put too many miles on it, had to reduce the numbers. Such a great colour.

Wow! Really chuffed to have won with the Phantom! It was a long time coming together, super stoked you guys appreciate it like I do. This one is a keeper for sure. Really flattered to have won two in a row. I think I’ve peaked! Not sure I can get another build ready for March. Though I might...

My 89 Phantom:)

I’m iPhone/Mac/safari

Not sure if it's just me but I can only see two of the photos (Torus and Avanti), there's just a question mark where the others photos should be. Same on desk top and phone.

Mine is defo 130/7

I’ve got a few 7 speed wheel sets that are 130 rear spacing, DX m650, XT m732 even XT m950 8 speed. I think most hubs can be 130 or 135, it’s the axle length that counts. You can get Nos XT m735 130 axles on eBay I think. I’m selling some Nos Araya RM17 32h rims in grey too…..

I’m selling some Nos XT hubs, rear is 130 7 speed

Just entered it in to this months Bike Of The Month (February 2024 if you’re reading this in the future). UK special so seemed appropriate. Please feel free to vote for it if you like!

As I’ve just been able to get it finished in time: Markjohnson76 1989 Roberts Phantom. Extra points because it’s British racing Green?!? Here’s the build thread:) https://www.retrobike.co.uk/threads/1989-roberts-phantom.476708/

Zinn 753 that has had the welds finished. It took Winston Vaz quite a while to make them look good.

So here it is. No doubt it will evolve and parts will change. I’ve yet to ride it properly, it needs a good shakedown. But 4.5 years after getting all excited after first seeing it, I can finally give it some use. I’m super happy with it.

Then just had to choose the colour! Took a while. Usually I love a loud 90s paint job but the frame seemed to lend itself to something more classy. So metallic British Racing Green was chosen. Mario did the paint and added the decals for free. I then needed some parts. Rather than raiding my...

The frame needed the dent rolling out and a cable guide replacing on the top tube. Winston said he could do the work no problem, and who better to do it anyway? Mario said he’d repaint it when I was ready. Just had to choose the colour and a nice rigid fork. I put a wanted ad for a fork here and...
