    Is there a non destructive way to remove 3 piece crank without a puller?

    Why are thumb shifters so prized in the retrobike community?

    I remember the 200GS that came fitted on my 1991 Trek Antelope 820 bitd, not impressed by the function or looks of those shifters/ levers combo. The bike was kitted out with a full 200GS groupset and it was a bike I was not sad to get rid of!

    Why are thumb shifters so prized in the retrobike community?

    The left thumbshifter clamp of mine needed straightening up a bit, took shifter off it's mount and a large adjustable spanner and after some gentle persuasion it's now where it should be, job done.;)

    Why are thumb shifters so prized in the retrobike community?

    I love thumbshifters because they are simple and they just work! I have rapid fire shifters on three of my GT's and they are later ones which work fine too, but the good old thumb shifters are just great and look the part too.

    NOS XTR M900 rear mech’

    back in 1993 I bought a '93 GT Zaskar and besides the frame and a Pace RC35 forks, the most expensive part I had fitted was a £350 Topline red anodised crankset with Pace chainrings, I couldn't afford to do that now, sadly.. Spending nearly £750 on just a rear derailleur seems a bit excessive...

    Wanted GT seat post clamp

    Hi thanks for getting back but that would be too big, the seat tube is under 30mm in diameter. I tested out the clamp from my Pantera and it was too big for the Bravado.
