My most recent acquisition, and in many ways the retro road bike I've been searching for for years. 1988 Concorde Squadra PDM team. not sure if it's just a replica or an actual team bike, it does have a number plate tab. Columbus SLX tubing. Most of these bikes that I've seen are...

Just scored this today so cheap I won't annoy people by saying how much. 19" Ritchey Ultra with full Ritchey build kit including cantis, levers, crankset, rims, bar and seatpost. Bike "upgraded" to Manitou 4 and Gripshift at some point, 1" threadless headset with Dean stem. Funky Continental...

I've wanted an Explosif since a short while after I declined to trade my '93 Stumpjumper for a '92 Pro back in 1994. Bizarrely I've never managed to find one for sale in the size I want (19") and the year I want (1991 or 1992), but I've continued to search from time to time, I even owned a 2004...

Seems odd posting a "modern" bike on Retrobike, but I'm proud of this one, so here you go. Always wanted a Chameleon, but it had to be the right one, looked at lots of frames over the years and then this one showed up in Toronto, just down the road (Canadian scale - just down the road = less...

Thought I'd post these up for their entertainment value. These are EGS SyncroShift shifters from the late 1990s. Back-story: EGA was a short lived company who to the best of my knowledge only ever produced two components - these shifters (several variants exist including a very nice all-metal...

Picked this up this week for the princely sum of $120 CAD, the wheels were the first thing that caught my eye, but having had it sitting around my apartment for a few days the whole bike has grown on me, really nice geometry. It's got a blue-collar, mid-range charm to it that makes me just want...

So the term "barn-find" gets used a lot these days to describe any old thing that's been forgotten about in storage, but the bike in the pictures below has spent most of the last 2 decades in an actual barn way out in the countryside in rural Ontario. I just drove out to collect it this morning...

Not sure if this has been posted yet, looks like besides being a comic genius RW was a cycling fanatic. https://m.paddle8.com/auction/robin-williams

So I'm finding myself a little confused as to the meaning of the Ritchey Logic Super Tubing decals on a couple of my bikes, I know that this decal was commonly applied to tubesets selected my Ritchey but actually manufactured by Tange. What I don't understand is why very similar decals are used...

So I recently acquired this beautiful old cyclocross bike, an aquaintance of mine who collects vintage MTBs picked it up in Toronto thinking he'd use it as a commuter, but it was too large for him. It happens to fit me perfectly! The Futural is probably better known in Europe than in North...

Hoping for RockiMtn or DeeEight to weigh in on this one - I have in my possession a nice Rocky Mountain from the early 1990s (maybe late 1980s), it's very clean, but is missing downtube and toptube decals, so I have no idea of model. Notable features are twin bottle cage mounts on the...

We have a 1995 Hard Rock sport GX in the shop at the moment, it was set up single speed with no tensioner. In my many years of wrenching I've never seen the like of it - anyone know if there was any special reason for this design?

I've always wanted one of these bikes, but this is actually the first one I've seen "in the metal" as it were, and now it's mine! Can you guess what it is? Let's start with a really tough clue: :D

This has been nagging at me for a while, there was another brand that used a matt Zolatone/neon bar/stem/fork paint scheme in the early 1990s. I remember doing side by side comparison with my 1990 bear valley and the frames were near identical with perhaps some cable routing differences. The...

I just wanted to say a public thank-you to the guys at DMR, I was reassembling my Trailstar recently and found I had lost the steerer clamp thingy from my Headstock stem. I emailed DMR (not hoping for much, the stem is no longer made/sold) and got a fast response from a guy names Olly. A couple...

I could start this thread by waxing lyrical about halcyon days on blue-collar bikes, but it's all been done to death already. Suffice to say I had a 19" 1991 Marin Eldridge Grade (MEG) way back in 1992, I loved riding it, but I sold it on to buy a Stumpjumper, and have regretted it since. My...

Mine, NOS genuine decals, not repro's, protective paper intact, I'll ship them anywhere. http://www.ebay.ca/itm/140925883171?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649

Mine - I've had an expensive week, wrote off a very rare carbon Superfly SS frame on Wednesday, can't afford to keep a bike I no longer ride, but that doesn't make it any easier. http://www.ebay.ca/itm/140747955265?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649 :cry:

Mine, need the cash for another project. http://www.ebay.ca/itm/140707325636?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649

Just bought this for a bit more than twice the price of the October 2011 issue: http://www.ebay.ca/itm/260843898002?=STRK:MEDWX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1435.l2649#ht_500wt_922 Looks to be in good shape, so I'll scan the interesting bits and add them to the archive if anyone can tell me how...
