As for the Toyota MR2 previously, on the motorcycle field, there's the Yamaha TDM. TDM being the acronym for Tas De Merde in French (Pile Of Shit).

Suspenders (from Mountain Cycle).

Hi, Could someone with the still original cable housings on his/her Grisley MTB (or someone having replaced them, cut to the original lengths) tell me what the cable housing lengths are, please? As it's internal routing, I'm reluctant to play the try/error game :LOL:. Ideally, someone with a...

Now I understand the Syncros logos at the sides of the handlebar: great effect with transparent grips!

So I was fortunate enough (pure coincidence!) to put my hands on what seemed to be a frameset version (https://www.retrobike.co.uk/threads/94-erm-92-well-93-rocky-mountain-cirrus-rebuild.390738/): white and black decals and no clearcoat at all, so no peeling :)

Awesome detective work with some cool information that I didn't knew at all. Many thanks! Regarding the swingarm, there's the crocodile (as you call it) version with square ends, the later version with round ends and also one that I didn't found mentioned in your history document and that seems...

Too bad that the MC FB is a private group! Did you finally succeed at hosting the San Andreas timeline you were working on here at RB archives?

Just for me to understand; what springs are you referring, please? The "elastomer stacks"?

Choosing between Syncros and Answer for the cockpit was a long hesitation for mine. Glad we took different routes, so that everyone can see the options :)

Why nice bikes are always so far from me?

Well, not much that I can add, I'm afraid. Aren't there any evidences of a head tube badge? It's metallic and bonded to the frame. If the paint is original, I expect to see "shadows" of the badge on the head tube.

You're right. The Technium frames, made of heterogeneous material bonded together using a proprietary epoxy developed by Boeing, were manufactured by Derby Cycle Company (of Kent, WA) in the Seattle (WA) factory between 1988 and 1994 and sold under the Raleigh USA brand. In the present case...

Just impressed!!!!!

@Spinsterboy is actually right: Girvin ProForx (https://www.retrobike.co.uk/threads/girvin-pro-forx.449534/) ;)

Too bad that you weren't already in the business when I had to replace the elastomers of my Suspenders System II. I had to source them overseas with costly S/H fees and custom taxes. Now I know where I can find you :-)

Maybe late on the party :p. I did the same some times ago (https://www.retrobike.co.uk/threads/92-mountain-cycle-san-andreas-resurrection.454736/post-3338133). Not wanting to hijack @fguki, but just in case, I had my elastomer refresh kit from Suspension Forks Parts...

Just found a backup there: https://mountaindirtbikeframe.com/2020/06/05/cook-bros-des1gn-elevated-chainstay-19-5-frame-vintage-26-mtb-cooks-brothers/

Nice! This reminds me a half-ECS Cook Bros frame that was for sale on eBay some time ago. Don't remember the model name.
