No, it's defo for 26" wheel.

Yeah, the bearings are small. I can't imagine they ever lasted very long! I guess that they are easy enough to replace though. The axle turns really easily, but it just doesn't have that silky smooth feeling that you normally get with cartridge bearings. It just feels like the bearings are...

Hi RetroBG, I think I was 20 when I bought it (from new) and that's 13 years ago, so I would guess it's from about 1994. I am so tempted to get myself a new Kestrel road bike but have a bit more saving to do first!! There is something very unique about them. You sure don't see many out on...

Hi Jez, Had a real quick look in the shed and found the Nukey. Pic as below: I'm sure a have a cable hanger somewhere but need to have a look when it's daylight. The hub is a 32 hole. Is definately never been built (no stretch marks on the spoke eyelets), but the bearings feel a...

Jez, I have a NOS screw on rear Nuke Proof hub if your interested in getting one to match the front. Let me know if you're interested and I'll post a pic of it. Not sure what drilling it is. 32 I suspect. Might also be able to find you the 1" hanger you need for the front brake. I'll have a...

Here's my retro XC beast, enjoy: I'll get pics of the Trimble up as soon as I can get to it up in the loft!

OK guys here we go. Sorry to take so long to get the pics up. See if you can ID this: Frame number is MOC 65809 Will also get pics of the Kestrel up in a bit, but will have to keep you waiting for the Trimble (still burried in the loft!)

Will try and get all 3 of them up sometime over the weekend. The Trimble is currently in bits, but I can certainly post pics of it as it is. You're right I didn't find the Trimble down the dump! It was a silly bargain though! Paid £200 for the complete bike (built with bullseye cranks /...

Many moons ago whilst on a trip to the rubbish dump I found an old steel frame. When I inspected it closely it seems to be a good quality frame (nice ring to it if you flick the tubing). It has absolutely no decals or markings other than the frame number. Is it possible to identify just by the...

Was searching through a load of old kit the other day and found a NOS Nuke Proof rear carbon hub (with ally screw on flanges). If I build it up all i'll need then is another bike to put it on!! Would look quite cool on the Trimble I reckon!

Hey Jez, great to see so many Trimble pics! I have 4-1 same as yours I think with the drilled drop outs. It started off life Black with the coloured decals (belomged to a mate then). It then got stolen and was missing for a year or so. Then another mate spotted an ad in MBUK for a Trimble...

That's exactly what I have!! A pair of them on my Trimble. Love them, and despite their age still going strong!
