If you check the thickness of the threaded section vs the normal section of the steerer you might find it's quite filigree-almost dangerously so. If something cracks/breaks around there when riding, chances are the federal witness protection program would soon beg on its knees for the easy...

There isn't much difference between XC Pro vs. Comp. Both are lovely, cold forged stuff. Limited factory info, best source is to have a period catalog. Comp rear mechs are even lighter due to having "normal pulleys" not cartride bearing ones. 56 BCD grannies are a real PITA, WTF were they...

Not worth it, only for time saving reasons. Better off to buy a NOS XT bike, like the Muddy Fox (which I posted earlier) for 500 EUR. But if a M730 chainset with SG-X rings, alongside with cartridge-splined M735 pedals and 68/122.5 mm UN71 BB was also included...

Talk about colour-coded stuff, eh? Cost an arm & leg back then, I wonder how much does the seller need for it now: https://www.ebay-kleinanzeigen.de/s-anzeige/neu-porsche-bike-s-mtb-bike-fahrrad-carrera-cayman-nos-sammlung/2330484621-217-9306

Bargain, even if you (as me) hate alu-getting a similar groupset would cost alone 6-700 EUR (and some grey hair). https://www.ebay-kleinanzeigen.de/s-anzeige/muddy-fox-alu-team-1993-vintage-nos/2324784162-217-6475

Morati. Still backed by a hardcore bunch of fans, especially from eastern EU, Czechs are all for it.

Syncros. Cool & snobbish, but with a real racing heritage/competitve edge. Now only a marketing hack, generic stuff branded as. Oh, is WTB still in original hands of their owners?-their Momentum GG line was nice & quirky, sadly way overpriced back in those days, and rare, their BB is very hard...

Freezing is the only easy way, if I had a dime every time I see doing it the wrong way, NOS frames would be bought only...😬

NOW SOLD, thanks!

It's for 26 MTB, as it's their HC modell- the A-C is 425 mm.

Prce drop: 1500 GBP posted

Hi all, as some importanter (ha-ha) stupid things keep taking places in my life, I've decided to put this beauty on the market with a heavy bleedin' heart. With OEM bag, and warranty card/user manual (with correct torque data, etc.) NOS, never been built into, no starnut fitted, uncut 258 mm...

Easy. Given that the youngest ones are already adults in the U.S. these are still enjoyable machines everday (if she wants to serve on that day, that is): 740d E38 2x

200 GBP posted to UK from Hungary, tracked, low value declared of course. Stem, handlebars & headset are also included.

This one as a frame?

Was significantly lighter and cheaper too than good old M730 stuff. In fact, so cheap it failed to feed the company.

Oh, IRD also made some lovely stuff, their QB-series BBs are second to none.

Suntour XC Pro/Comp. Getting some grey hairs while gathering a good/NOS groupset is not optional, but straight up compulsory, though... Might be older, but timeless design helps. Combine them with Sugino (cold forged Mighty 900 cranks are the bees knees) & some Ritchey/Dia-Compe stuff for extra...

Hard times edition: Get a rough Stumpjumper made with 1" steerer, from about '90 until 1993 (even alloy ones had them) or so, they were made with some fine forks surely - about 700 gr. weight, made by Tange-(just like Logics), I guess even in the same sweatshop. Sell the frame, get the rest...

The twins: Next week the black one from hell will receive its first infusion of life saving parts in 6 years. Then a trip to my local bodyshop, and we'll see if it stays on the road for a while or not (I hope it wants to live).
