Yes, that will have been a 91 Explosif, only size 16 though (17" c-t), so quite a small frame, short top tube. I don't think the frame being offered as a Rocky Mountain is a Rocky Mountain. The frame offered as an S-Works does seem to be an S-Works though, albeit again a small frame and poor...

Re: It was right around this time that they went bust, but the existence of the catalogue and all the data and photos on Bikepedia suggests that it wasn't planned, in that all the design and prototype builds had been done, so quite a lot of investment made. I'm not aware that it went any...

Hi Mike What time do you reckon it will finish? My friend and I are planning on heading to Steyning for lunch on Saturday, via the SDW, but I doubt whether we'll be there much before 12.00. Will that be too late?

Re: The Cinder Cone frame isn't in the same class as the Explosif, so to me robbing parts from this would be like taking the wheels off a Ferrari and selling the rest, in order to improve your Ford Focus. A project is only a means to an end, and the end is to enjoy riding the bike. I can't see...

Re: Re: I think inadequate tension is very likely to be the cause - the others you have suggested don't sound plausible to me. I'm very surprised that the remedy you describe was effective. I would certainly have expected the various nipples to have come undone to different extents, so that a...

Re: Clearly the Hoodoo picture is a mistake (I think it's the 1996 frame), but the 26" Bizango, Sobo and D-Jab frames all appear to be new in some way, or at least reworkings of previous frames. They all have under the top tube cable routing, which no earlier VooDoo had, except that the Bizango...

What colour, travel and condition for the SIDs please? [do they look like this? I didn't know they still did them for Vs in 2010!] And if the SIDs suit, would you take £150 for them and the Hope stem?

Hi Max Extremely sad news about Dylan. I just wonder whether Retrobike should put on a commemorative ride at some point, perhaps following roughly the route that he and his friend might have intended to take?

I guess most of you have been aware of this for some time (although a quick search doesn't reveal any discussion), but I've discovered recently that the 9-speed 32t 104 BCD rings that are still available new do not fit onto XT and other cranks FC-M752 and earlier. i.e., the FC-M760 middle ring...

Re: With apologies for bumping such an old thread, nobody replied to the ad (rather to my surprise), but the bike's owner and I agreed not to eBay it in the end, as the late autumn didn't seem a good time. So she still has it and feels that this is the best time to put it on eBay, but we...

Re: It's a 1996 size 18. Appears to be owned by a lady, thus good condition. Not much value in the parts, aside from rm and front wheel. Then again, the frames have fetched almost as much as this.

I've sent you a pm

Re: 96-97 Voodoo Bizango 17 inch £375 Would you be open to taking £300 for what is shown in the photo, less the wheels, tyres, post and saddle? Before confirming, I would need some more detail on the condition of the frame and parts, and also is the P2 triple-butted or plain-gauge? many thanks

Thanks, but if you're not quite sure what size it is then the geometry chart isn't much use. That's why I asked for the c-c measurement of the top tube.

Re: Can you give a few more details please? e.g., how old is it? how much travel? weight? top tube length (c to c, along the tube please)

This is a bike that I built for my son several years ago when he was four feet ten. He always loved it and actually rode it until he was almost six feet, but more sensibly it will do anybody up to 5-6. I then sold it to a friend whose son was also around 5 feet and now he has outgrown it as...

Re: I think that's a size 15 with the older geometry, when they used to take size from c-c. My 2004 tig team sl size 17 (taken c-t by then) has a 125mm head tube and 545mm top tube.

Re: Can you tell me the top tube length please - centre to centre, along the tube? Also can you tell me the weight please - including the headset cups and clamp will do, if you don't want to take them off just yet. many thanks

Re: How long are the lovely long hoses? Is this the clamp you're on about? http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/hope ... prod118630

Re: At 440mm axle to crown they're definitely not 100mm forks - that's on the short side for 80mm (generally 450 a-c) and way too short for 100. 100mm SIDs came out in 2008. Prior to that, they came set at 80mm but with a spacer to reduce it to 63mm if desired. From 2008, they were set at 100...
