Still looking. Will consider something of similar vintage/style to suit '88 mtb

@Rod_Saetan it's potentially a year earlier than I'd like, but I've got a tentative search going for a 27.2 Syncros post. If you could confirm the cut length and the price you want for it, maybe we can do a deal?

That £850 Klein was very tired - not for me thanks! I bought some repro brake blocks. Nearly bought a tyre but it was a black wall and only a single so would have been unpaired for god knows how long. I said to my wife when I got home that the problem is I could replicate the MTB stuff on offer...

Some guidance rates in this thread; https://www.retrobike.co.uk/threads/massive-clearout-sale-lots-of-goodies-syncros-raceface-avid-ultimiate-titanium-etc.465658/ Looks like an uncut 27.2 was listed/sold at $160 Canadian Dollars, which is c.£90, but yours is cut so would impact the price I guess.

When is '90's MTB stuff going to hit UK bike jumbles in a decent volume? I went to 'The Big One' at the weekend, it's my closest and past experience suggests that there is no point travelling too far to these events as the MTB stuff is generally slim pickings. Same again this time, perhaps...

Looks a weld made bit of kit that 👍 I've just had a seatpost removed by said Chorley chap, but he doesn't let on how. The fact that he can also remove post that are cut-off level with the clamp suggests he may have another or multiple methods. Big pillar drill and a variety of drill bits...

@Fatboy1974 I’ll drop you a message 👍

Re-upping this as might change my plans.

On the look out for a complete set of 4 original brake pads for M900 XTR cantis, rider condition/part worn ideally. *Edit* sorted for the brake pads. Also could make use of a 170mm RH (drive side) M900 XTR crank if for some bizarre reason anyone has one spare! Failing that if you need a 170mm...

Giant has been my go to brand for years as the fit, kit and price just seems right for me. My 'newest' bike is a 14year old carbon Anthem - which sadly is languishing unused due to a dead shock and I can't justify spend c.£300 on a new one (but I'll easily blow that on a full bike covered in...

Sold for the price of the thumbshifters attached to it :oops:

In the throws of reviving an ‘88 Explorer. Whilst it’s got a fair share of patina, the paint is lovely and pearlescent.

I've got Mountain Biker Internationals from Jan/Feb/Mar/June of 1995 if of any interest.

Excellent service and communication with Ben recently, even allowing me to 'try before I buy'. Highly recommended 👍

Bump

XTR straddle wire there still? PM incoming just in case.

Bump and a price drop.

Assume 1"1/8th?

Perhaps an IRD or Syncros seatpost? Here's what the re-pros look like for comparison: https://www.retrobike.co.uk/threads/repro-made-in-germany-ird-ringle-bullseye-cook-syncros-fat-wtb.332892/
