I'll put this here, I have been quietly keeping my eye out for a 93 Ogre XT, MT4 Ti frame with Red lugs/rear end. I've not seen one for years & would love to find one as a keeper.

/\ Logistics I guess. Tange tends to be a very 'Eastern' brand, more or less exclusive to the far eastern mass production factories. Don't get me wrong, I am sure Tange Prestige as a name helped to sell many a frame/bike.

I always had 175's as a youth on my mtb's bitd, most of my bikes are now 172.5mm but I have had some 170's for a few years now on my 'best bike'. I do actually notice a slight difference when riding it (in a good way) & when I hop on some of my retro mtb's to commute or whatever, I really...

USA vs Taiwan production, more likely a factor in what was chosen.

Nice! First MTB mag I ever purchased had the write-up from the first UCI worlds. It's kinda stuck in my memories.

Yes please. PM incoming

I am looking to find a couple of 170mm non-drive side crank arms to get a couple builds on track. I have an Exage ES chainset (M520?) that is minus a left crank & an XT 730 also minus a left crank. I don't expect exact matching arms though the XT would be good to match. Please PM me with what...

I wouldn't place too much emphasis on the catalogue or press releases & likewise the scales they used to weigh these things. I know we come at these facts with an eye on trading standards or whatever, but having spent some time working for a bicycle manufacturer, they don't place quite the...

TT lite tubeset was 94/95 iirc. Colour could be a non-UK/europe option as I have never seen that colour of Axis before. The alternative 92 brochure colour you show in a pic, there is one listed on ebay currently. Note 92 models have 3 cables on side oftop tube, the 94 has 2 plus the 3rd on...

This looks awesome. Even better for the Green tyres.

Orange Prestige. £450 Happy to send in UK. https://www.retrobike.co.uk/threads/orange-prestige-resto.393638/

1992 owing to the alu seat collar. 91 has brazed on bosses for a thru-bolt. Get it bought!

What tyre is that?

It's quite likely said wearer actually wears it all day for work & not for the commute. I work with people from our warehouse that arrive in their cars for work already wearing hi-viz.

Personally I would buy a decent used chainset (period correct) & either swap it in or pilfer the rings from it. Many here will attest to that being a more cost-effective route to replacement than purchasing brand new rings. Replacing what is on your Lava Dome should not be at all difficult. I...

Most DB's share the main frame tubes, the Apex was TT AVR with butted rear stays, lesser models did not have the butted rear stays. Therefore it is reasonable to assume Apex & lower models are the same within product years. I had a 92 DB Apex which I am sure was 26.4 seat post dia. That's...

26.4 I reckon. Axis was OX tubing, more oversized than run of the mill frames lower down in the lineup. Why do you doubt the size of post that came with it?
