Here's a 1989 Trimble Inverse 4 X Frame I picked up locally in Toronto in the winter. Pretty excited to find it. The original owner treated it very well as you can see. It was built up for him using a mix of syncros parts and XT. When I got it I briefly thought about redoing it all with higher...

Re: Congrats!! That Brodie is a fav of mine.

Re: Maxxis DTH. Modern tires with lots of volume. Great for touring.

Re: Many kms on this one. Great bike. Rides like it was new in ‘85 :) URL=https://imageshack.com/i/pmanALBPj][/URL

Re: Jimi911's 1992 Grove Innovations X Frame Build Thread: viewtopic.php?f=6&t=381621

Re: Thought about doing another build thread, but really this is basically a transplant. The Green X frame and stem have gone down the road. I found it just a bit too small even with the reach and this came a long on fleabay for an absolute steal: It sized out perfectly so I flipped most...

Re: Thanks for the votes! I think I got lucky ... the British bike voting block got split between some really awesome Mtbs. Lots of deserving rides!

Re: I have seen those embossed ones. Mines definitely titanium ... well according to the magnet. They were made for a few years. Maybe they went with the embossing after the titanium craze really kicked in. Brown grips are tricky to find. Tried a rubber pair I had, but it looked weird with the...

Re: Thanks Shamus! Lots of quality builds out there to get inspiration from :) Haha ... I saw some of those as well. Luckily the ebay seller I got my saddle from was selling a "Campy Eclectic Saddle". I do love ebay auto-correct :) Like I said ... lots of luck with this one. If I had to...

Wow! Thanks!! The old moots got it in a squeaker lol. Great selection of bikes! And thanks for the Curtlo votes as well!

Re: Here’s something unexpected that appeared in my Instagram message box. Never had someone like a bike I’ve made so much they painted it ... well prob won’t again lol. Here’s a first. I think they did a pretty good job!

Re: I think it’s a fun idea ... Different is good. It is a heck of a line up. That Brodie is my most used vintage mtb ever. I lived on that thing in 2020. What a great bike :)

Hahaha ... it’s a great bike as well. Doug makes a great frame and the fit on that one is about as perfect as it gets for me.

Forgot all about BoTY! Or maybe just trying to forget 2020 lol. Lots of cool bikes. Went with my ol’ Moots because it was such a long, challenging, and educational build. It also got more use than the Curtlo, which was quarantined from me for large parts of the ride season.

Re: Saddle They are a fancy ti one Campy had for a bit in their catalog. There's actually an air bladder in them and you can inflate them to fit better. Usually more of a roadie saddle, but the fit is very much like a Avocet, Rolls, or Turbo.

Yeah ... I had no idea. Tried to flip them back when someone else told me and the 2.35s wouldn't fit. I have a set of 2.1 reds as well. Might try those. I had planned to use terra ones for the first few rides until I got the setup right, but they'll likely have clearance issues as well.

Re: Prob have to dig through the snow for some mud. Spring is coming ... right? Please say it is. Sorta loosing it with this local lockdown.

Re: Hard to pick a fav outta the collection. They all have something I really like about them. Prob the same for you ... you’ve got lots of cool bikes ... tough to pick the favourite child lol. This one was certainly my most enjoyable build. It all came together so easily ... lots of help...

Thanks gents ... definitely a favourite and lots of fun to put together. Twas a nice distraction from everything else going on. Glad it’s so well received.

Re: Great stuff guys. I gotta get one of those FS Camerons one day. Not as wild and not cycle logic but ... URL=[/URL]
