    Beastie Boys anyone?

    I'm quite a big fan. Check Your Head is my fave album. Was it 30years since the release of Ill Communication last week? (time flies)

    Camera suggestions?

    My mate uses the Australian branded fr & rear combo (goes off to google brand) .........Cycliq Seem pretty good, but not cheap. If there is a simple dual ended, cheap helmet mounted cam I'd go with that. Number 1 priority has to be decent, useable footage otherwise there's just no point in...

    Tamiya RC Cars

    Monster trucks are hilarious. I often find some vintage monster truck races on YT if I want a laugh. I had a mudblaster bitd, so fragile.

    "I'm an engineering student..."

    Wheels remind me of a repurposed patio table.

    Chilli con Carne - always better the next day.... and then some

    I once floated the idea of running a Chilli Wagon, a layby fast food van serving bowls of chilli, 2 options; mild & hot. Served with a little jug of milk. Anyway, pizza looks lush but I don't fancy it for breakfast.

    Ebay must be getting desperate.

    I've been receiving these special offers on ebay items now for years. Add it to watch list, wait for seller offer the next day. I hate Amazon with a passion too (as mentioned by other posters). So many people just buy from Amazon in their sleep.

    GT Zaskar idealised specification.. show me yours..

    A 90 or 91 with the Black decals on the polished frame gets my vote. Something really cool about those early ones with a U-brake imo. They wear Manitous or old Rock Shox really well, Ritchey megabites etc. NICE!

    Please help - 2002 Shimano Deore LX Rapidfire SL

    I think that's called an E-type fr der. Not valuable like an E-type Jaguar sadly, it is mounted within the bb cup & frame. I don't think there is adjustment, if any it is if you can give it some small rotation within the bb cup. So crank off & bb loosened to adjust (if any). Replacing it...

    GT Karakoram 1991 18” frame and forks on eBay

    That does look like it's in nice condition, be sure to post up some build pics. We like pics.

    1992 GT Pantera Midnight Aurora... a repro attempt

    Utterly awesome job as has been said. The paint looks factory perfect & I also applaud the spec of lesser-loved 500LX drivetrain parts. I might add that I doubt a Pantera was custom painted from GT, it's a mass-produced Taiwanese frame so I would suggest an Aurora painted Pantera is a model...

    Tamiya RC Cars

    A great thread. I have a part time obsession with RC buggies. I had a Tamiya as a youth but the first car I built was a British Mardave Meteor which is somewhat more robust than a Tamiya. I got hold of a Mardave Cobra a few years ago that I tinker with & paint parts for & I have an original...

    Kona Combo Cage

    Nice Fire Mountain. Old Kona's look so good.

    When did Pace introduce their chainrings?

    A check of the Pace/STIF ads in archive MBUK's ought to narrow it down. (My instincts think 1990)

    Marin Team Titanium 95/96

    Normal centre-pull canti's can be very powerful when setup nicely. Discs would be sacriledge on such a machine. (my opinion obv)

    Kona Cindercone or is it?

    The rack mounts on this 97 era would be pierced into the tube, my 91 Cinder' has a whole threaded boss attached to the tube - thus easily removed with saw, the other type not so. I will add the pics of the stays/rear dropout are not like any Cinder Cone I have seen (as mentioned can be...

    What price to pay for a good chromoly GT frame like Avalanche, Bravado or Karakoram?

    /\ Shape & design wise they are identical. DX are cast & XT forged, the DX appear more shiny/polished if in good cond. Chainrings may vary, early XT might be black or bio-pace if even earlier. Not much in it really.
