    Sold Chris King Titanium 1 1/8 threadless NOS

    Up for grabs is an NOS Chris King Titanium headset NOS never even fitted to a bike. Had bought this years ago for my Moots build, can't use it because the fork I want to use (Hurrycat Vorace) needs a very specific stack height headset when coupled to my tall head tube and unfortunately the CK...

    Up for sale is my 20" '94 Ritchey P-23 (frame Number:P-651). Here's a link to my original build thread: https://www.retrobike.co.uk/threads/ritchey-p-23.381339/ I will attach pictures with the way the build looks now. The only main differences are: 1. I swapped the Hugi casette for a NOS XTR...

    1 inch threaded head-set doesn't screw on the fork

    I have recently purchased an American Classic 1" headset which i intend to use on an AMP fork (1 inch threaded as well). Today I received the headset and when I was messing about with it i noticed that it will only screw on the fork maybe 2 turns after which it will get tight quick, so i...

    Chris King 1" extra tall baseplate

    A bit of a long-shot here but here it goes: Does anyone here have this Chris King plus 5mm 1" base-plate? The Chris King part number is: PHS519 I have already contacted CK and they do not have this obscure part anymore. I need it in order to be able to use an AMP fork on an Ibis Mojo frame...

    Is this IBIS Mojo legit?

    I recently saw this IBIS Mojo on ebay: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Super-Rad-Way- ... Sw~xRgOwr7 It looks legit however it does have a regular cable stop and not the signature "Handjob" cable stop. Did Ibis make some very early Mojos without the signature cable stop? The paint and decals look...

    Headshok castle tool help

    Hi, I have a '95 or '96 Headshok fork on my wife's bike and a while ago I managed to get a brand new replacement damper cartridge and air-spring assembly for it. Last weekend I made a 2-pronged castle tool out of a piece of thick stainless pipe. But I had to capitulate trying to open the...

    Magura HS 33 question

    I am currently faffing about with a Magura HS-33. Swapped out the levers for TWP aftermarket ones. Bled the brake. So far everything works fine. I never had a set of those brakes, hence my question: The quick release feature on them seems... well .... overly complicated (compared to canti or...

    Ritchey P-23

    I finished this one a couple of weeks ago but never found the time to post the pics. From what I could gather this is a '94 P-23 since it's fully TIG-ed (only the upper seat-tube junction is fillet brazed) and based on the serial number a former Ritchey worker identified it as a '94 model year...

    Torque requirements for aluminum crank bolts?

    As per title: what are the torque requirements for old square taper aluminum crank bolts like the SRP ones? I was searching online over the weekend but I couldn't find any good info on that. I installed the cranks with steel bolts first and torqued them up to the required 40NM but when it came...

    1997 Kona Koa build finished

    Just finished 2 weeks ago. A quick'n dirty budget build out of the spare bins for a buddy of mine. I picked up the frame off evilbay for super cheap but the original red matte paint was completely shot so I stripped it and gave my buddy the frame and the fork legs to paint in a matching white...

    Ritchey 2x9 shifters any good?

    I'm currently working on my Ritchey P23 ('94 as far as I know) bike and in the course of acquiring components I did get a Ritchey 2x9 set of Grip-shifters with the matching Titanium 33t cog and the 42t big Ritchey ring. Does anybody on here have this setup? Is it any good? When just dry-shifting...

    1997 Rocky Mountain Vertex LE build

    Just finished this build last weekend. It's a small frame for my mother-in-law. Got the frame super cheap on evil bay, paint was more or less destroyed so I stripped the frame and repainted it white. Most of the components I had lying about so I went through my extensive Syncros stash to put...

    Machine Tech T30 rear hub freehub part wanted

    I got a set of Machine Tech wheels off evil-bay. Once I had them in my hand I started inspecting them. The front wheel is in perfect condition, when I was spinning the rear wheel I noticed something that looked like a steel spacer loose behind the free-hub body. (those are the T30 hubs with the...

    Odd Ringle stem

    Bidders seem to be going "crazy" for this very odd "Ringle" stem. Looks like a Kalloy Uno with Ringle decals to me... Some "lucky" winner is going to be super bummed when he finds out his special Ringle stem is in fact not a Ringle stem. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Ringle-Aluminum ... SwqfNXiX8e

    1994 Manitou catalogue scan

    Here's a scan of the elusive 1994 Manitou Mountain Bike Catalogue. I do have a Hi-res version of this. Unfortunately the image size rules force me to compress the image quality. You can contact me directly if you want the Hi-res version. last two pages are missing too since I can't upload more...

    Has anybody on this forum ever made an all-steel build?

    As per title: did anybody attempt to build a reasonably light bike using all steel components? I'm talking about a 90's build attempting to use only steel components where possible. (most of the really old stuff was mostly steel anyways) I was thinking to take a Ritchey P-series frame and fork...
