Scorcher bars are by Paretich, not WW.

Re: BoTM May 13- Kona vs GT vs Specialized Special - Nominat If anything, I'd say the standard of work done by (some... i.e., the most ambitious and careful) individuals far surpasses what is typically done by "museums" or manufacturers. Those are organizations that usually have to balance...

It's Ross SHAFER (not Schafer).

From who? Any examples?

A bit of a “pedal rant”: - One bike doesn’t have them at all (corrected now with a late pic). - Five of the bikes (six if you count the alternate pic of the Manitou) have one-sided flat pedals intended for clips/straps but being run without clips/straps. - Two of the bikes with clips/straps...

Chris' bike is amazing... a real work of art and craftsmanship. A quick glimpse of here in the background of a shot on MTBR/VRC (http://forums.mtbr.com/vintage-retro-classic/picture-friday-3-28-08-a-396574.html):

Nice bike -- and article/web links too. Your stem definitely is an Axis/Paretich (I have the quill version on my Newsboy here: http://www.retrobike.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=80533). One minor correction- To my knowledge Chris' stems did not have a model name. The reference to "Bold" in that...

The vintage (steel) bike was on loan from a local Denver-area collector... and part of the display in order to highlight how long Steve has been making bikes as well has how MTB's have evolved. The other three (Titanium) Potts bikes on display were newly-produced.

As with a couple of my other "main" vintage rider bikes, I recently did a few upgrades/changes to my Newsboy. I really wanted to do a new, full set of pics of it while it was all nice/clean this morning --- but decided to go for a longer ride instead! ;p The formal set of "dungeon" pics will...

I don't get it I'm afraid. For me: Restoration≠Repaint (or at least Restoration>Repaint) and for sure Repaint≠Restoration

1999 is now <=1997?

Thanks. There's exciting 29'er/Potts stuff in the pipeline... but that pipeline can move very slowly. ;p On Type-II's, the shape/length of the "spears" on the crown and the area above the dropouts (spoon vs. flat) are the obvious visual differences between CC and SP made forks. The basic...

Here's a pic of my bike alongside one of Charlie's own bikes: an early 15" Phoenix (26" wheels and non-suspension-corrected). Notice that his has even more seatpost extension than mine. And then here are a few pics of my bike pre-repaint. Steve Potts working on the steering limiter...

I've posted a few pics here, but no build thread... Until now: http://www.retrobike.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=243086

I’ve posted a couple of pictures of this newly-finished bike here, but it was pointed out in a 69’er thread in the main forum that I didn’t have a build thread on it. While the bike is now “done”, it’s build is an interesting story and a little different than most of my fleet. I bought this in...

Specialized Ground Control Extreme and More Extreme (both 2.5's)?

67.5:

Cables -- with cool Japanese quick release fittings from here: http://arakawagrip.com. Although also not technically WALL hanging.

Thanks as well for the votes for my Tam pic! With the 3-word edict, I didn't say much about the pic when I posted. It's taken about 3/4's of the way up Eldridge Grade on Mt. Tam. There are a few turns where you get these spectacular views of San Francisco, the bay, Alcatraz, etc. The 'Ham'...

So I suppose that to those who detest “garage queens” and “wall-hangers” -- which I would point out are two different things -- this would be a scene of immense sadness rather than joy and learning?
