Holy Crap Batman! Talk about houseguests. The one pic looks to be an excercise room with a weight rack and 2 bikes on the wall and 2 more in the foreground - all inside no less. It was bad enough having the bike inside for a couple of days last Christmas, a bit worse when I removed and...

I guess I really can't complain. I've got a garage and the room for them. They haven't become houseguests yet. The only time No. 1 has been in the house was last Christmas when I was doing annual maintenance on it. Too cold to work outside on it, so I brought it inside and I stood beside the...

And in rereading your original post, shipping from California, you might try reseaching Cambria Bikes as a LBS to work thru. My current project came out of California and I used them to ship it here to Michigan. I took the time to spell out in an E-mail what was coming, and what I was after from...

You have may have another option, although it involves a bit more effort on your part. If the seller will identify the city/town they are in, you can reseach a nearby LBS, contact them, and coordinate shipping arrangements thru them. Seller delivers detailes photos to you, you contact LBS and...

It all started when I went looking for spare cogs for the M739 rear derailleur. I discovered that the stuf was older than what was available thru my LBS. Not wanting to buy a new bike, I started hunting to accumulate my own stash of spare part to keep this 98 Moab in use. In 28 months I've...

Nearly forty???? How in the heck do you keep them all straight? Do you ride them all? I've manage to cull exactly one, an unused/unridden BMX that I reconditioned, repegged, and gave to my young grand nephew. That said, there are 5.5 in the garage right now. My 3.5 (.5 is being built, awaiting...

Nooooo. Am I supposed to put up a little sign... "Abandon all hope, he who enters here..." Time to cull the unridden old susser, and maybe my better half's unridden cruiser.

Who else herein buys a used bike for spare parts, then winds up restoring it, and then can't bear to part with it? Two years ago I had a single MTB. Since then, bike 2, my 2nd ever build, joined bike 1. Three months ago a new Surly joined them, and now bike 4 (what was originally just a parts...

Update: I've found one 32T ring, and I think I've found both 22T rings (awaiting confirmation). Still looking for 1 more 32T ring.

Update. Foud a 32T ring. Still need a 22T ring. This now becomes the infamous One Ring to rule them all, and in the races, grind them.

Hey mods, We need a new Forum topic - Retrobikers Anon... where to go to get support from other RB hoarders!!!!!!

How about a compromise? A lend lease from your shed to my garage? Your collection is eclectic and distinctive, and I'd be honored to house some of it for you. Oh, I'm across the pond... If the leand lease proposal doesn't work, than I second the bigger shed.

First time to SF/Oakland? If so, I'd recommend a drive in the Marin headlands nortth of SF, perhaps a visit to Cathedral Grove (massive old growth redwoods) in the John Muir National Forest there in the Headlands. Scouma's for tasty seafood in Sauslito. How much time do you have?

Update. Still in need of 1 more 22T and 2 more 32T XT rings. Getting there, but still need some help....

Update. I've found the 42T outer chain ring. I still am looking for the 22T and 32T rings.

May I enlist your assistance? I'm in search of a set of NOS/NIB or minty Shimano XT FC M739 4 bolt 42 32 22 chainrings, either the full set, or individual rings. Anybody have some that they are willing to part with, or know of folks that might have them? Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

2nd dibs on the crankset. Please advise if it is available. I'll take it. PM sent

A couple questions then regarding a hypothetical purchase. A seller indicates an item is available and sets a posted price. A potential buyer PMs seller expressing an interest to purchase pending pics. Pics provided. Buyer confirms interest to purchase. Paypal info exchanged. Payment...

Did you have a police dog sniff the package? Typically a kilo from Italy may not exactly be what the lads here try to sell. Sounds like the mods need to create a new thread....

Certain members might have skills in the "art" of getting him noticed by customs officials. Nothing like a cavity search in a cold detainment cell to get one's attention.
