    Hi Joel Afraid it took me a very long time to track down a half decent black set of these cranks and all those parts are earmarked for a build once in haul everything out of storage! No harm in asking. There’s a set on German Ebay - or there certainly was. Not cheap though. Anyway, welcome to...

    Took a bit of a gamble..

    Thanks - I know they are Maglites. Did a bit of digging and the seller was kinda close on one aspect of their description.. it appears they did come from a Supercal Ltd.. but he called the year wrong. The ‘95 was spec’d with Grafton Re-entries.. and Machine Tech cantis.. which is where he went...

    Took a bit of a gamble..

    A set of cantis was advertised on eBay US a week or two ago. Crappy pics, dirty parts and (wildly) incorrect description. I tend to be reluctant to buy stuff from the States given transit risk plus additional customs charges.. but in this case i decided to risk it. Parts were listed as...

    Kona Kula 1994 18"

    It is a beauty. Might have even fetched in the vicinity of that price at the height of COVID to some nostalgic 40-something, looking for a “cool vintage bike” to enjoy his allotted hour of exercise on… but not today, methinks…

    KK, Ku & Hot frame weights

    I have a 17” Hot frameset. Will try and weigh it. Anecdotally though, it is a very light frame. Feels lighter in my hand than my 18”… …. Erm… Hei Hei.

    Stereotypes for retrobike folk….

    On the whole, I feel a little bit disappointed by your insta stats. I was genuinely hoping the demographics of the RB community fell predominantly into the 65 plus category. It now looks like I am going to have to wait longer than expected to buy up bikes cheap from surviving relatives.

    My little collection 🙂

    I know we don’t tend to get too concerned with this topic on RB.. but which is the best to ride?

    Umma Gumma Grippa

    Haven’t seen a set of those in years. Used to have a red set bitd. The letters peeled off under even the most moderate use!

    Fuquay, (Greg Fuquay) mid 90s

    I think this would have traded higher as a frame only. There was an implied tat tax reflected in the bidding, to account for the sheer trauma of attempting to flog the components in the RB 1998+ For Sale section.

    Fuquay, (Greg Fuquay) mid 90s

    My god. Who buys a Fuquay and puts that rubbish on it!? It’s like “check my new Patek.. I’ve stuck it on one of those faux-Animal Velcro straps, free with MBUK”

    Sold 1995 Kona Kilauea 18" Frame £100 Posted UK

    This is a good deal. Anyone remember a few years ago? For a while it seemed that every Kona resto began with painting the frame white. Wonder what happened to them all..

    Gen me up on Alu KONA's AA & Kula

    Not always the case in regards frames - though the Kula was one up in the range from the AA component-wise. The ‘95 Kula was Easton Elite, with the AA being Alcoa, but for ‘96 & ‘97, both were EE.. Ku was too (though obviously it was a bit more special). Hazy on other years, I’m afraid. Great...

    Hei Hei on eBay

    Price is odd too. About a grand less than aspirational owners seem to target these days. Would have expected an additional premium on top; to reflect the rarity of a special edition alloy HH..

    Ti P2s - US

    One forlorn hope bid comparatively early on. Certainly not up to my prediction. I know I will come to rue my lack of commitment, whilst my Hei Hei frame stares at me accusingly every time I walk past it.. It’s not so much the winning bid - I mean, we all knew they were going big - and if you...

    Ha.. I’ll take that.. as a consolation prize.. to not winning the forks 😂
