I have a garden gate of a '95 FSR frame which we might be able to come to some agreement over…

Today's two deliveries have cemented my plan to do A Proper Mountain Bike Tour on retro kit… or at least attempt to…

Meridian 208 CD player / preamp Rotel RB-850 power amp Naim SBL speakers Google Chromecast Audio You'd have to pay a LOT more than the £750 that lot cost me to significantly better it, I'd wager. Analogue duties are handled by: Townshend Elite Rock turntable Rega RB300 tonearm Goldring 1042...

Comparing frame numbers might help?

Downtube graphics and from what I can tell the frame itself is identical to my 1991 Traverse Hydrotech - note internal cable routing for original Magura brakes on top tube. EDIT: That said, this has internal cable routing too, although apparently MUCH shorter headtube...

After a pair of TA Zephyr triple cranks with both the 56mm and 74mm granny options. No longer than 177.5mm, preferably.

Frame looks to be the same as a 1991 Traverse Hydrotech with fewer frame graphics and cantis instead of Maguras.

From those photos, it looks to me like the Orbea Next One was basically a pretty poor copy of a Laiti Mono…

Did this ever sell, and what's the rear mech on there?…

If you give me the time to dig out from the cave, we could negotiate over * XC Pro hubs for a screw-on freewheel, one rear of which is built into a dark rim but I can't remember what. * Think I got rid of most of my mechs, but can check * Any interest in 110/74 or 94/56 cranks…? * GreaseGuard...

Woah… prices are rising, it seems! I will have to see what's in the parts bin… GLWS 😁

Ironically, I now have a bike on which this mech would be just 👌🏻 But it's French, so I'm gonna see how much period-or-slightly-later French kit I can hang off it…

My grown-up everyday bike is a gravel conversion of a Genesis Fortitude Adventure 29er, with an Alfine-11 rear hub, hecking full mudguards and Middleburn cranks with a bash guard. If I could only have one bike, it would be this one... although the next frame size down would probably fit...

Yes, but it's distinctly 'not crap'…

So with my recent purchase of a Laïti Mono with a very nice original paint job, I'm wondering about how best to protect the frame and decals. Is it possible to get a clear hard lacquer cost put over the existing finish, assuming I could smooth down the odd peeling decal corner, or would...

You mean one of these?

Woah there kids… I used to run chainsets similar to this BITD, with 'plain' chainrings, i.e. no ramps or pins. Both friction thumbshifters and SunTour X-Press indexed front shifters worked without fault. Now, that may perhaps be down to the tooth profile as much as anything, or old school front...

She's a sturdy girl, that's for sure 💪🏿

I want to turn this into possibly the UK's coolest pub bike, definitely a summer rider at least. I would ride it in anger if the paintwork wasn't so immaculate 😁 Handling was a bit odd, but that may have been the soft tyres 🤔 Could go SunTour XC Pro, but would love some nice French parts on...
