wow - f***k - that's nicer then nice 😍

how is it going to happen that the BB cracked - wrong BB ?

as XTR 960 are 2005-2007 vintage, I would check brochures here in the archive of that area.

would say it's a 95 - graphic-wise. Never the less; lovely nick.

I know what you mean ;) GLWS

haha, a mallet is the propper tool for the job.

I did like your Explosif and also the evolution it took over the time. Really hard to say what it is worth nowadays, I guess the 16" frame will have an influence to the price point. More sought after is the 18". 350,- to 450,- maybe.

always apply little grease on the freehub - also for above reasons. Yesterday had to remove the cassette on friends e-bike (forgive me to mention e-bike here :)) where there had been noises from the backwheel / freehub / disc rotor, I could not figure out. So removed the cassette which had not...

lovely resto - 😍 dont know if alloy bolts are a propper idea to tighten the forks stanchions ?

not really sure if this is the right place to post this here; anyway better here then I would post it at "Vintage French rando's and porteurs" ;)

you are getting closer - great looking frame. Tyres are just for illustration purpose, right ? ;)

If you consider modern bikes you can check out for the Specialized Sirrus Step series of bikes. The 2022 EQ Step should have everything for a commuter bike. For retroframes you can look for Kuwahara and or Trek Multitrack frames from the early 90's.

hi, I found your thread here, while I was checking the BotM March 23 thread. did the seller in Austria told you anything regarding those "Hrinkow" decals ? - My guess is that it is linked to a bikeshop in Upper Austria named Hrinkow which had been involved in racing activities BITD as well as...

dye was used to whiten parts in this Tonka model car resto. Dont know if that stuff is harmful to rubber and if the whole process is applyable with tyres 🤷‍♂️

I love everything what is special and not related to the norm - and that Gazelle is fitting right in :D

change is the only constant :) - I started with 90s MTB, now I'm into 29er non-motorized and motorized as well as with roadies and Gravels, commuting bikes, folders, last year I converted one of my 90s MTB to a touring rig, and currently I'm trying to convince myself not to grap a 50's French...

very classy and lovely bike 👍

Kona had to rename to K-Mountainbike in Europe (Germany for sure) due some missleadings with the "Koga" brand for bicycles.

Aye-aye, Sir :) We here in Austria are using the word "Kotschützer" (Kot=mud // Schützer=guards) while in Germany "Schutzblech" is the word they usw more commonly

love the Trek's of the early 90's in their lugged frames. a 520 Touring in the green livery was always a dream of mine - if I only could find one nowadays ...
