Here's another recently finished project that's been a long time coming. After a very lengthy search, I finally got my Toad. It's a (later) DeKerf made Off Road Toad, #172. Unfortunately I haven't had a chance to ride it yet! It's one of those bikes that started off looking like hell, but with...

I'll let the photos do most of the talking, but here's the final product of my 93 WTB Phoenix SE. It's an (early) first year non-suspension corrected frame. It came to me as a basket case that needed a lot of work. I toyed with repainting it, but decided to leave the wasted patina in place and...

I traded frames with a fellow vintage mtb buddy. He bought it new in 1991, rode it hard. My original intention was to build it back up and continue to ride it as is. It had a seriously bad case of stuck bb with an extraction attempt somewhere along the line that was unsuccessful. Ultimately...

Outside of a Slingshot, the other bike I lusted after most as a kid was the Ritchey P-23 Team. Don Myrah grew up in my home town and raced for Ritchey at the time. Since I've been collecting, I've always had a Ritchey in my garage. Some of my first Ritchey builds were....not great. We all...

Here's my 92 Retrotec Dirt Craft Cycle. Won the old fashioned way off of eBay, it was beat enough to warrant a respray (which I generally like to avoid). Not a whole lot of these were made, but its a perfect representation of the era, where small independent builders were trying new ways to...

Being a Northern California local, I've had the great fortune of being able to ride with Joe Breeze on several occasions. In addition to being humble and fun to hang out with, he's a fantastic rider...especially when the going gets fast. Very smooth, lots of finesse. My kind of riding style...

I picked this Bontrager frame up from Velo Cult. Started out as an innocent enough project...all the Bontragers I'd previously tried (Race, Race Lite, TiLite) I found forgettable. In fact I found their ride to be displeasing (especially at speed). But they are an iconic bike with a great cult...

Hey all - Lookin' to move my 91 Epic Ultimate (Merlin Ti Lugs). The long and short of it. I bought the bike as you see it. Previous owner bought it from an estate sale. The catalog lists this bike as a full XC Pro build and this one has the full M900 XTR spread which we know didn't come out...

You guys are especially good about these long drawn out build threads. Normally I wait until the finished product before the unveiling....but since this is a fun one, I'll give it a shot. With upfront thanks to a lead from Ameybrook, this particular bike was found, quite...

Hey all - I've got a unique bike for sale. Its one that I'm just not riding and as much as I love it, I don't have space for bikes that sit. That being said, this is Dave Cullinan's 1992 Iron Horse FS Works. Not a replica, not a clone. It was pulled from a backyard in Southern California...

Figured I'd give it a shot here... I picked up Dave Cullinan's Iron Horse FS Works out of a back yard in Southern California and I'm workin' on the restoration. Sadly the crown on the XC400 is cracked. I'm looking for a replacement. I'll take a complete fork or just the steer/crown...

I've never been a big 'hey come over to our site' guy, but I figured you guys might get a kick out of this thread. Feel free to save any/all the photos you want and edit them a bit. I was a bit hurried in my scanning. Eventually I'll touch them up unless you want to take on that project...

Figured I'd share some of my projects from the last 5-8 years of hunting and collecting. Not all of them...but a few. :) 1987 fillet brazed Bontrager Cross. Pre-production, "ex-local pro's bike" so I'm told. 1992 fillet brazed GT Psyclone. All XTR and Syncros. 1991 Mountain Goat...

I searched and didn't see any immediate thread on the topic...thought I'd ask to see what most of you guys across the pond had stashed away... The question: How many vintage bikes are you hoarding? Time to brag. :D
