    Vintage (?) GT DH frame

    I just bought one of these to use as my main ride. Mine is the same color but is small frame size. This frame is a medium by the looks of the steerer tube geometry. I paid £60 odd quid off eBay, with two seat posts but no hanger or bb cable guide. I have been building it up with a mixture of...

    Seized Bottom Brackets

    I had the same issue with my fsr. I poured cola into the bb and left it overnight, a big set of stilsons on the prutoding lip was enough to free it off. You have to be really careful you don't slip and chip the paint though.

    Ball Burnished Bikes

    Just have a look at my album I've got a zaskar and an rts3 both ball burnished. I love the finish, I'm not sure why manufacturers don't do it any more?

    The trick is to have things delivered to work and to have enough space to keep the bikes without causing space issues.

    Un-jamming STI's?

    I once took some early 90's shifters apart for what sounds like the same thing. It took me 4 or 5 hours to get them back together due to a flat spring that I couldn't seat. When I got them back together they wouldn't work, loosen the screw and hey presto. If I remember right I ended up blasting...

    Full suspension retro-bikes - are they worth it.

    I have an RTS and a zaskar. The difference in my view is that you can't chuck the RTS at rough stuff like a modern fs bike whereas the zaskar feels bomb-proof. I tend to use the RTS as a xc bike and look after it like a baby. I've just bought a i-drive to put some post 2000 stuff on to throw around.
