Simplistic for me, works well everywhere I think.

I think it all evolves around the question what we want our retro bike community to be. I'd rather see it as a safe space where people do not take advantage of someone else's lack of knowledge. Other people might see it as a reflection of how society nowadays is. Cold and individual. I've...

72 degree headtube, 440mm stays to accommodate the 27.5” tyres. And that with modern groupset and a nice comfy wide steerer. Almost perfect!

I second that. Glad to see it listed here. At the previous price it was more than likely picked up by someone who would flip it. Selling it in parts will further speed up the process as most people here build their bikes and are looking for missing items in that process. The XTR components...

In parts worth at least triple that.

Pick up only, I think there might be a few persons interested…

And…. It‘s gone

I still have the Experience, albeit as a frame only and stored for the moment. I have a couple of builds at the moment and I'm not really in need for another build up bike. So it's in storage, it doesn't eat bread as we say in Holland, but to be honest I probably pass it on to someone else. I...

Thanks everyone, I'm still very excited here. I have a few more pics I will share.

I could not resist obtaining this from a forum member. Someone who, just as me, has a strong affection for old quality Rocky Mountain frames. And this is one for sure. Hand build fillet brazed, in my size and with the original paint and decals. These simply don't turn up very often. It has the...

Just put it on Ebay with a £1 starting price and no reserve. Post the link to it here on the right subforum. The price for what it sells is the most realistic price of your stuff.

Wheeler?

New Ritchey 1.1/8” threaded headsets are still easily available and they won’t cost much. Feels like a good upgrade for this lovely frame. Just make sure to check the stack height. And pics of your frame and project are always appreciated. Plenty of Rocky Mountain lovers here.

Not sure what it is, but isn’t this aluminium not steel?

The guy has multiple complexes.

DX is relatively easy to obtain, just keep an eye out on the For Sale thread. It makes sense specifying what you need exactly. For instance front mech which diameter clamp, top or down pull, etc. There is a Wanted section which is the best place for this post.

I think the Ritcheys of that time came with traditional ball bearings, not cartridge ones like these. Possibly Dia Compe or Tange Seiki?

It took myself three years to find one, so yes they are quite rare. Slightly optimistic asking price. Amusing description. Someone here who is the seller? Not sure why the stem is part of the deal. On the bay Not mine.

It is a bit like the classic cars versus modern cars discussion. Aficionado versus practical daily use. Yes you can do the supermarket run with both but a modern car is much easier. There is no versus in this discussion I think. My mountainbike collection includes models from the early...
