    meanwhile, in Madrid....

    Well, actually Otero was a very specialized store with a great craftsman. Their frames became very popular, apart from their quality, for their famous "Pentax" geometry (basically the seat tube curved around the wheel, leaving chainstays approximately 37 cm long, achieving extraordinary traction...

    Marin Monocoque: a little sister for Team Marin

    Well, I finished polishing and I have to say that it is gratifying to see it finished. On the other hand, I really wanted to make some wheels with Araya RM-395 rims. A few years ago I found a new set in a beautiful black in a store, but when I went to pick them up they had sold one of the 2...

    BoTM Bike of The Month August 2024 "USA Special" - now taking entries

    I didn't know this BoTM thing was so exciting. The display of incredible bicycles on display is incredible. Furthermore, they all have that special something that each of those who have made them contribute. If I did not get to present my Zaskar, it is likely that I would not have seen it and I...

    Well, I really have to thank you. Rescuing such a beautiful bicycle and allowing us to enjoy its vision is something I appreciate. It also helps me to know our history better. I have to admit that years ago I began to like bicycles more than cycling, I suppose it is a logical evolution when I...

    Marin Monocoque: a little sister for Team Marin

    And since I'm not going to make it from a catalog, I think that an Atac that has been in a forgotten box for many years is a good complement to the fork I don't think I'll polish it, just deep clean it and replace the rusty screws. Simple and economical. The decals are good on one side, on the...

    Marin Monocoque: a little sister for Team Marin

    The Mach 5 would be yours but that would almost force me to make it from a catalog. On the other hand, they've only been around for a year and the magnum with those machined parts and its raw aluminum makes me like the whole thing more. Speaking of aluminum... the frame has a lot of aluminum...

    Santana Moda - finished

    I love fillet brazed. They drive me crazy. They are not the most suitable for Nivacrom tubes, but they work well, I can attest. The blackwalls are also my favorites, they give a more robust, more "beast" appearance. And black is always elegant, it looks good with anything. Beautiful bike

    BoTM Bike of The Month August 2024 "USA Special" - now taking entries

    I've only been here for a short time and it seemed presumptuous to present a bicycle to the BOTM. But really sometimes "the devil entangles" and a GT Hand made in the USA with a livery based on the stars and stripes flag and rear derailleur "Betsy" should not be left out. Too much coincidence...

    Story of a summer love. GT Zaskar 1996

    Well, before going on vacation I can say that I have already added the 2 details that are missing: the bottle cage, a Blackburn comp, a very "classic" model and I have customized the handlebar plugs with some UV DTF decals with the livery of the "stars and stripes" like the rest of the bike. I...

Congratulations, it's going to be spectacular Meanwhile, I'm looking to see if I can get a '93 Sky Runner, but after...

    Marin Monocoque: a little sister for Team Marin

    Well that's madjh. You already know that I have been deciding during these days how to approach the project. In the end, since none of the forks I had were worth the size, a Manitou 4 or the Magnum seemed more beautiful to me. They are from '95 and the Monocoque from '96, but I don't think it's...

    D8mok’s Zaskar obsession thread

    Is there any chance you could let me sleep in that garage? In exchange I can sweep and mop the floor and oil the bicycles every day...By the way, on the back right, up on the wall, that jade green color is wonderful.

    What the fork

    I don't know, the toes are peculiar. You have to admit that the fork is beautiful. Very very pretty and the headset... which one is it? I like

    Everything comes together with a good glue: Raleigh Chill 1990

    The bike has been dismantled well. The power at the cost of God and help, was well held. Thanks to the 1/2 kg handlebar and a special loosener, everything came loose. the connecting rod bolts tightened with a torque. The bottom bracket without problems. And so I have been able to appreciate...

    Everything comes together with a good glue: Raleigh Chill 1990

    As Jack the Ripper said, "let's go in parts." First disassemble and count -What's leaving: Saddle with its seat post, it makes me sick to see it, seriously, it gives me chills. Also, those PVC pipe supplements to adjust it already kill me. The steering is a shame, a stock Tioga Avenger that has...
