Just come across this thread! ‘The Bike Shop’ is in Stansty Road, Rhosddu, Wrexham and although I haven’t been there for a while, it used to be run by Phil, who built the ARP bikes from frames. He also sold Orange, and I bought a new C16r from him in 1995. At the time he showed me his ARP bikes...

Just bought a 95 Scott Motion frame and bits to build up for my daughter. Looks a bit rough but is sound beneath all the grime. I need a seatpost...does anybody know the correct size? Nice tange cromo frame/forks and alivio/stx bits.

I’ve just picked up a ‘95 Scott Motion frame and bits which will become a commuter bike for my Daughter. There is no seat post ...does anybody have this model? and can you tell me the seatpost size? It’s a bit mucky, but beneath the grime it’s a pretty sound tange cromo frame and forks with...

Nice light wheel. Dating from mid 90s - was standard on Marin Eldridge grade. Recently overhauled by my LBS, who trued it, fitted 2 new spokes and new grease and hub bearings/adjusted hub. Apparently there is some pitting in the hub, but it runs freely and pretty smoothly. Very little wear to...

Re: Thanks, very happy! it rides really well and everything works as it should. I also have a 95 Hawk Hill with a butted cromo frame, yet the Eldridge’s frame is so much nicer. It feels much lighter and livelier. Both frames are 15.5” which is perfect for my size(5’ 7 1/2 “) so are really...

Re: I’ve got a 1991 Diamondback as well, but a ‘lower ‘ model - a Sorrento, but with true temper cromo tubing and forks. Paint scheme and decals just like yours.

I recently bought this bike for £30..frame is great albeit it was pretty grubby and had a lot of heli-tape and it’s residual gunge on it! The previous owner was a lady, who had fitted a terrys lady saddle, high rise stem with a quill-ahead converter. XT v brakes had been retro fitted with travel...

One pair in excellent working condition albeit one of the centring screws is seized, but I’ve never had a problem with adjusting from one side. The other pair need a bit of work as the spring pressure is such that they are too slack when set on the middle spring hole, but don’t hit the rim at...
