I somehow missed this the first time around, but now it looks even better! Revos are ace and the skinwalls really transform the look. So much nicer with the dark red of the frame. The Maguras also surprisingly fit the bike. Disclamer: SB 8s are my favourite tire for the terrain I´m riding with...

I always coax a riding buddy of mine to take his DH rig, so at least uphill I have a fighting chance to keep up with him 😅

Yeah please report back when you get them. Although I would guess you get what you pay for. I´ve had those similarly cheap Farmer John clones and while they look ok- ish, they´re so ridiculously heavy it´s not even funny (>1kg a tire).

Chainrings are Shimano SG 46/36/26, so it´s 110 BCD, no ruler needed.

Woohoo! https://www.facebook.com/1000649304...FopfiL1KPMRmsYSnrHjBsSCRreCqu2XMjgNnmcrXL77l/ I mean I´m not counting my chickens until they are on the shelves, but I´m still more than a bit excited about the prospect of getting exact replicas. Also: Anyone know "Looptail" as referred to in...

Wrong side of the Atlantic for me (and to small), but what a lovely bike! https://www.ebay.com/itm/186042993762

Does that mean you aren´t?! Shattering my illusions there, Princess Spankyfart😝

I would almost agree, but hubs are also missing. Glad that I´m riding my bikes, this hobby would otherwise be much more expensive.

I mean a lot of my "normal" (non retro) riding buddies think of my old bikes that they´re all unridable. From that perspective it´s all just different levels of awful :LOL: And for the price it´s worth a shot, as I said I didn´t find them to be that bad.

Unfortunately not, they have a reputation for being quite grabby in their operation with little distinction when they will bite. Although the pair I had (rear wheel) was feeling normal. I guess it also depends on factors like rims, brake shoes etc

Deleted, nothing to see here 😇

Would this bent piece of steel be of any use (not mine)?

I managed to do a tour on a Stage 6 this summer (bike of a friend). And though it was a bit too small for me (size M) it was a brillant ride on a hugely capable bike. After that I was convinced my next modern bike would be an Orange Stage Evo to replace my SC Superlight. Just the right mixture...

Ok found this in my own pics. Different nuts, but the black levers in the ad look like yours? Edit: Joglo was a faster feather!

Yeah I also found this old thread, but he doesn´t directly say that it´s Fast Feather. Just that´s what he sold on ebay. I only know them with these levers: Last post over there is interesting however. I always thought I had a reading disability, but there is a difference between Fat/Fast...

Old bookmark doesn´t work for me either, so I guess it´s gone? The nuts of the first pair look like Fast Feather, but don´t know if they also made versions with this lever.

What brocklanders said. If you´re after period looks, the Panaracers are the way to go. All others have either giant logos, too large of a skinwall or the cross section is to round. Depending on the year of the Attitude (boxcrown fork) Smoke/Smoke would be even more anorak as the Dart came out...

What a lame fanboi, getting airborn just to keep the tires clean.
