Seem we're missing this thread, so I just start one. :D Made a rather large haul for rather stupid money yesterday. Had to drive basically one whole day to get the stuff. So I'll have to show it RIGHT NOW! B3, B4, B5 including the proper folding forks. Some funny brakes. Some even more funny...

Hi there. I'm currently in the process to resurrect and modify a '96 Judy. One of its legs - the one with the neutral shaft - is badly corroded. But I have a spare one. I also have a set of steel springs taken out of a '99 Hydracoil Judy and a second aluminium dampening cartridge. The last time...

I have too many bikes! Really. Now there will be one more, I guess. I'm having way too much fun... As some may have seen, I'm currently building my LTS Thermoplast. It has a very wired defect at the rear axle mount. It looks like someone has drilled or filed the slot for the axle. And while...

... finish this one? I bought that frame waaay back. Should have been around 2004 or 5. I don't remember exactly. I was still a student, earned my first money as an administrator at the university. Those were my first steps into been a "responsible" adult. I hadn't been riding any bikes at that...

Hey there! As it seems, I didn't have enough open project lurking around in the corners of my basement. So it's time to start another one. n+1 at its best. I got that Proflex 752 karma'd to me a little over a year ago. Now I found it while trying to do some cleanup. I don't like cleaning up...

New build coming up. Some nice guy at the german forums karma'd that interesting and - so it seems to me - quite rare frame into my man cave. As I am a sucker for those odd early suspension bikes I am really excited to have it. I think, this will be a rather slow build as I don't have hardly any...

Hi there. I am wondering. Why is there not a single Scott catalogue in the archives? I have attatched a few I have on my drive, ranging from 89 to 99. Maybe someone could add them to the archive at some point? Cheers!

You can use them to tune your M900 or M73x derailleurs! :LOL: The main bolt is a direct fit. It is really nice and light. Titanium. (See picture above, XT bolz on the left, M951 to the right) The bolt for clamping the cable also fits, as do the two little adjustment screws. Even the cage might...

I've been pondering on starting this thraed for quite some time. Because it's rather troublesome for me to "speak" in english. I actually have to use my brain for it to come up with the right words. If you know what I mean. Also, my sense of humor as a guy (originally from Poland) living in...

Had some spare time and a very badly battered XT thumbie. The design reminds me of a Hifi-Amp-Knob... What do you guys think?

It's been a while since I last did a build thread here on retrobike. I blame it on the language barrier... :D So. This time round I had to scratch the itch and buy back some of my childhood memorys. My first "proper" mountainbike that I bougt new around 1991. I think. Here is my only picture of...

I have a strong feeling this shouldn't be a problem. I switched the internals of various judys between 99 and 95 without too much hassle. The only problems I had was that the very early Judys had a smaller bore for the lower bolts in the casting. Maybe this article I wrote is of help for you...

Hey everyone! I got myself a new bike. Or found, rather. At the side of the street. :facepalm: Somebody ripped all the parts off of it and left it. I first noticed it laying there on my way to work 2 weeks ago. Then, 2 days ago, I decided it really was abandoned and just threw it in my trunk...

Hi! I am on the search for broken hubs. Cracks or broken flanges welcome! I would prefer hubs that consist of multiple parts, like Hope TI, Bullseye or NukeProof. No Simano or Suntour. I want them for studying their konstruction, as I am planning to build my own hub. As I don't want to spend too...

As it seems to be fairly impossible the buy a pair of those (and for a price I am willing to pay... :facepalm: ) But they look so damn nice. I thought to myself, I'll make my own. I already souced the materials needed to build a few. But I would need some dimensions to verify what I derived...

Hi there! I wanted to share a little project of mine, that I am quite a bit proud of. I am very interested in machining lately. I bought myself a small lathe. And now I am watching abom79, oxtools and Stefan Gotteswinter (whom I met actually in person) on youtube, lusting after their knowledge...

Hey, I am currently rebuilding a very sad Klein pinnacle from 1990. It came with a RS1 fork, a sad one, also. This is the first time I have my dirty mits on one of those so I am trying to be careful. I searched the interwebs for some information about servicing them but to no avail. I managed...

I need a headset for my current GT build. A CK would be obvious as I like them so much. :facepalm: Faded color, scratches, missing top cap - that all doesn't matter. The only thing that matters is is the price. :mrgreen: And that the bearings are fine and the set is complete (e.g. the...

Hi everyone! I am desperately searching a set of spoke keys for my spinergy spox M1 wheelset. After 2 years of searching I eventually found a new rim for my rear wheel. But I have no tool for the spokes. I tried to order a key that is sold for wheelchairs. But the uk based shop quotes £4 for...

Hey guys! I've been fiddling with my newly aquired lathe. One of the things I had planned trying one day was to redo defective/pitted cones in those shimano hubs. I have a few M900 XTR and M73x XT hubs that share that problem of pitted cones. So to test whether or not that is possible, I...
