That pic is awesome!!!

Ahh yes, I saw this one. Apart from the indecent price, the head tube doesn't fit. I need 1 1/8 inch and 420mm height

Hmm...it seems the link doesn't work anymore.

What are those brakes? I have never seen them.

Do you guys have an idea why such bikes almost never use hydraulic disc brakes? Is it a philosophy? I only had contact with cable operated ones a few times but I found them harder to setup and maintain. I don't think it's the price either and the performance is also better on hydraulics in my...

Of course I did 😁

It's yours to use should you ever be visiting.

I think the bike deserves it's own little build thread. So what's it about? I discovered an offer on ebay by chance a few months ago and thought it was a joke at first... "Old 26 inch Mountainbike Brodie" But my curiosity was piqued, so after a brief and very friendly and informative email...
