    2003 Kuwahara Savage

    16" frame. Everything works fine. A freebie. I ride it a lot - love the small frame (I'm 175.5 cm). Rides almost like a BMX bike, at times. This is from my run along the Bow River Pathway yesterday, here in Calgary. I managed 20km on this old freebie. It's actually used more by my 15 year...

    Front Derailleur - Trek 8000

    I got a 2003 Trek 800 for free, sans a front derailleur. It was a Deore LX, I believe. What's compatible? (The goal was to use a Deore LX front derailleur, of course... perhaps something compatible/cheaper?) Thanks in advance.

    2003 Trek 8000 Freebie

    Needs a front derailleur, a new front rim, and a tube for the rear tire (I have that!). Otherwise, in pretty good shape. I'm wondering if the front derailleur was intentionally taken off...? Judy's are old, but surprisingly work well for commuting. Or should - though I'd love to swap them...

    Early 80s Norco Magnum GT - Freebie

    Here she is. Needs a tune-up. Front derailleur needs to be made "safer". But it's in good shape, though the Magnum labelling has long worn off and the person I got it from stuck stickers on it. Other than the newer rims, everything looks/seems original. Rims are straight and true. Eh?!

    My Wife Just Got An E-Bike

    I have worked hard as propagandist towards my children, that older, "retro bikes" are kings, and the newer, fancier bikes, including E-Bikes, are part of the decline of civilization (okay, I wasn't that dramatic, but we buy local, and try to eat and drink local). I've done the same spiel with...

    Rust under seat stays

    See photos. Old bike I got for free. Would anyone be overly concerned w/this rust? Rest of bike seems fine, in terms of "rust".

    Rialto Cypress

    Anyone ever heard of "Rialto" mountain/ATB bikes? My son and I just brought one home for free - Shimano Singapore gears date it to 1991. Back brake is on the left of the handle bar, front brake on the bike. Serial # - RA221517. Made in Canada. Is this a Raleigh Canada Canadian Tire bike - or...

    Chang Star Brakes

    My '93 Norco Cherokee has these. Two questions: 1. The Cherokee also has steel rims. I'll be converting to aluminum. Will these original brakes still "suffice"? 2. Should I upgrade the brakes (looking for opinions here - would like to keep the bike as original, as possible) This bile will...

    2 2003 Kuwahara Savages - For Free!

    Just picked these up an hour ago. One's 20", the other 16". 18-speed. Kuwahara KW front suspension. Along brakes. Looks to be all original. My son gets the 20" to commute to university. My youngest daughter, who helped me load them into our wagon, gets the smaller one. They in good...

    1992 Kuwahara M6.0 Rage li

    Anyone own one of these? Anyone have anymore information on these?? One for sale here that interst me for my son's commutes to university, but also for some Bikepacking out here in Alberta. I think this is a beautiful bike - was the seller's Dad's, stored in the garage. Many miles put on it...

    1993 Norco Cherokee

    Freebie off Kijiji. 10 speed, Shimano SIS, Chang Star brakes. Tires held air - flat and dry as Western Kansas when I brought her home. Everything seems original. Seems like a '93, to me. Took her out for a run and she's not bad - the gears shift smooth, chain wasn't too rusty. Once I get...

    1993 Rockhopper Front Tire

    Came w/the bike on Araya rims. Anyone think this is unsafe to ride on? 30 psi.

    Free Bike Day - late 80's Precision "Columbrium"

    A guy got this at a police auction here, years ago. Sat in his shed since, never ridden. In bad shape when he got it - handlebar is out of whack, 15-speed gears hard to shift, Dutch Van Schothorst steel rims, "Lee Chi" levers. Weighs a ton. Ugly, too - dull purple w/the type of patina you...

    New Old Bike Day - 1993 Rockhopper

    The only cons: pedals are new plastic, and it's a 20" (I wanted 18-18.5"). But it's sooooo clean! Front tires is original. Back has tread, but is crap. Brakes and gears are fine. CD$80.00
