Finally getting my hands on some black m730 cranks.. who knows.. by this time next year, maybe I’ll have completed the build in question..

Eric Your journey to retrobike is not uncommon. Many have come with an old bike, seeking information, or valuation.. but instead left with.. .. well.. most of us never left. You have a cool bike - you could sell it here, easily. Many of the denizens of these parts could have it looking...

Wow. I have exactly the same bike - and story! The fat man also squeezed himself down the chimney with Peugeot Trail for me that year… and I picked a mint one up on eBay only last year to replicate that ‘80s feeling! (Which is to say it rides exactly as I remember.. the less said about the...

The Pink / Black one would be either the Peugeot Trail or Raider.. around 1987. The fat man delivered me a Trail that Christmas. The Laser was blue and white iirc.. Ranger red and white.. So.. The Peugeot Trail was my first, c.’87 (and I managed to acquire another one last year) Then.. 95...

Hey. Sorry to hear about your situation. The forum has a For Sale section, to post kit you wish to move. Be sure to add a price for the bike, or someone will quickly slap you with “forum rules”.. If you are unclear as to value, there is a section at the top of Retro MTB chat entitled “how much...

I think anyone that purchases and incorporates this into a BOTM entry should have an automatic win.

Yup…. And probably a denizen of these hallowed halls 😂

Yes - this is too good to scrap or bin. Assuming there is no serious rust, a few hours work could have a great little bike. Certainly a bargain at £20. Wouldn’t doubt that you could easily sell at a tidy profit after a clean / service, if you were that way inclined.

Wow.. that is a generous donation. Wonder how Chris feels about that. Also.. wonder what else she has..

What won the Show n Shine? Was that a Tomac replica?

Personally I don’t think the frame looks too bad. I would clean and degrease it well and just live with some patina - monitoring to ensure the rust doesn’t get materially worse. If however you are determined to be more proactive.. You’ll have to remove the lacquer, I’m afraid - which means...

This is true. Might be cheaper and less labour intensive just to track down a mint condition Ku though!

Ha. You think I haven’t thought about this? The AA had painted decals, not glossy stick-ons.. so unfortunately I would know every time I looked at it!

You can be the community’s nominated pioneer. Get that Chinese titanium BB bolted onto your DH bike and hit the uplift..

Would love to see a photo taken a second or two after that one.. envisaging a LOT of lost skin and maybe an airlift..

Wow. Bit unclear if it’s original or quality repaint from one of the usual suspects. “Seller refurbished” Beautiful though, either way.

Yep - Gen I Bombers were a game changer

Yep, same. Tracking a Kula down is easier (must’ve sold more) and it’s the same frame.. but, has to be an AA..

Nice wheels. Hopefully the closure was through choice rather than the economy..
