    Look MI-960...an American cousin of the MI-90? I need help

    One of my dreams was a quadruple butted steel pipe. A frame with Ishiwata tubing or better yet, a Look Mi-90. I found this one, but it's Look MI-960!!! I do not know anything about her. I can't find any information. I wrote to Look and they passed me by like someone plagued :LOL: In any case I...

    1996 Marin Monocoque - Build Thread

    Thank you I have opened a new conversation so as not to contaminate your chat Your Monocoque is truly spectacular and deserves to be talked about alone. It will be difficult to approach your work, but I will try because if I am not going to do it well, I will not do it. At the moment nothing I...

    Marin Monocoque: a little sister for Team Marin

    It wasn't what I was looking for now, but 2 weeks ago I lost the Marin of my life 1 day late and when I saw this I didn't think about it. I brought her home. I was thinking of building a '97 Manitou Pro with a thread and an Atac stem that I have in silver... I don't have the size, damn it! Well...

    Marin Monocoque: a little sister for Team Marin

    My Team marin felt alone and wanted a little sister. Well, it has arrived and for now it has revolutionized my concepts.

    1990 koga miyata skyrunner cbl

    I love Koga Miyata. The Century is the bike of my dreams (I don't care MTB or road) In Spain you see very few. I have a Full Pro that I lovingly restored as original as possible (minus the pedals that Time put in to be able to use it) and of which I am very proud. Greg Herbold was a great guy...

    Story of a summer love. GT Zaskar 1996

    Well, I was looking for "curious" things like Hershey Racing cranks and well, it's hard to find them. But I found some aluminum Hershey screws and thought "you'll never see this again." In addition, the shipping was cheap, which offset the price of the screws. Someday someone will explain to me...

    Story of a summer love. GT Zaskar 1996

    And now I decided on the brake levers. In the end I changed the Onza grips for ODI ones. In any case, the Onza will always look good on another bike, but with the Noleen in blue I think not here. I'm already starting to assemble pieces, I can't wait to finish it!

    Story of a summer love. GT Zaskar 1996

    I have decided to use Ritchey ZED 1.9 Pro tires instead of the Ritchey Z-Max tires. I like the blue band for this bike. I really prefer them in solid black, but this time I think some color is more appropriate. In any case I can change it easily I have decided to continue with the Cassette with...

    Story of a summer love. GT Zaskar 1996

    For the quickrelease I saw an image of the seat closure of a GT and I saw that it was very similar to the Odissey and I remembered that I had saved some very similar, unused ones from Hugi. When I weighed them I saw that the front and rear were almost the same weight, so I used the caliper and...

    Story of a summer love. GT Zaskar 1996

    Well, the fork decals have already arrived. Since I had to make them new, I ordered them with the Noleen brand in the original red and also in blue more in conjunction with the frame. While looking at a beautiful RST-1 months ago I realized the shock was Noleen. I knew it decades ago but it is a...

    Story of a summer love. GT Zaskar 1996

    I am also particular about the size of the covers and the cables (I don't like the ones that stick out too much or are very short). But almost all the Magura rim brakes that I see are very ugly and I don't know if it's because they do it wrong or because it's a problem with the brake itself...

    Sold Bianchi NTH Martini Racing Full Suspension 1997

    I save this link!! It's really useful Thank you! The handlebar is a small wonder, very well made. And I have the carbon version too (it's on my wife's bike). It's a shame the print will erase easily, curiously that doesn't happen with the carbon one, probably because it is varnished.

    1991/1992 GT Zaskar (completed)

    Today I went to an upholsterer to consult with him since the saddle is NOS and I'm afraid of ruining it. He told me that it would be difficult to change the color since it is already dyed. So I was looking at your recommendation on Amazon and I think I will dare to buy it and use it, and it also...

    1990 GT Team Avalanche Restoration....hopefully...

    The Tioga in Prestige pipe is a very appropriate option. I have a couple of favorites for the next project, but at the moment I most need to find one for my current Zaskar, a Controltech one of those with a welded head, with the "made in USA" decal. I wouldn't care in silver or black. Even if...

    1990 GT Team Avalanche Restoration....hopefully...

    You too? I thought I was the only "crazy" one who did it. My family wants to lock me in a psychiatric hospital... but I tell them it's true, the bicycles talk to me and of course, I answer them out of politeness.

    96 Zaskar LE Build

    Jjjj. I solved the hand thing quickly: 3 sets of rubber gloves. They allowed me to manipulate the painting delicately because they did not slip, they prevented the grease from my hands from marking the polishing as I progressed and logically they "saved" my hands. Then to give the final touch...

    96 Zaskar LE Build

    Now that's a coincidence. My project prior to the zaskar that I am manufacturing was a 2002 Element Sc. I was hesitating for a while between the '99 Element TO or the 2002 one and it seemed more versatile with the possibility of disc brakes. Also, I love Rocky Mountain cherry red. I will present...
