Came across this beauty. I know it's an '80's bike but I'm trying to nail down the year. I've seen what's supposed to be an '84 but the rear caliper is on the inside of the seatstay, not down on the chainstay like this one. Any idea? Any guess on the size?

There's an M2000 in mint condition for sale, still has the original tires. The seller claims it's a 20 inch frame. It looks closer to a 18 inch to me which is my size. What do you guys think? I know sellers don't always know how to properly size a bike. I would measure it myself but it's a four...

Marin was founded in '86 and I would guess this was made in their first year or two of existence. Can't find any catalogs that go back that far. Anyone know anything about this bike like the name or whatever? Looks pretty high end, I'm having trouble identifying the group and there's no better...

If I may bring this back from the dead. I want some shoes to use with clips and straps (without cleats). I wear a 45 so finding some vintage ones on ebay is almost impossible. I don't really want classic looking leather shoes that some make. Too expensive and too hipster looking. I know in the...

Re: Yeah, that would probably work. It appears the rust may just be on the surface. Looking at the bike again it may be too small. The seller has it listed as a 56cm but it looks more like a 54. You think? I like it because it has tubulars.

Re: I'm looking at a Saronni I might be able to get for dirt cheap. Frame is in good condition except for the fork crown rust. You think I could get this looking presentable?

I've been wanting to get a vintage touring bike and I'm looking at this '84 Odyssey for sale. In '83 they went with Columbus SL tubing and were hand made by Tsuonda in Japan. The '84 doesn't have the Tsunoda decal, it may have been made by Maruishi. But Lotus bikes were very nice and to me this...

The '85 GLX 7800 (Columbus) has a similar paint scheme. The bike in question doesn't have the engraved seatstay caps, even the lower end 7400 had those so who knows. Nor does it appear to have the triangle things on the fork crown. I'm pretty sure they didn't use Reynolds tubing.

Are you sure the 531 decal is original? I thought Guerciotti used Columbus tubesets.

Conti Grand Prix Classic would be a good one. I ran Super Sport Ultra's in the 90's and they look similar with a brown sidewall. Michelin Dynamic Classic is another one.

Looks similar to an '89 Trek 5000 with that internal seat post clamp.

Those are the exact ones Molteni sells. Perfect except they're one size fits all.

Rapha used to make these, but no more. This is another discontinued one they made. That's 80's style there.

Those are nice but they're a modern style. I'll always be stuck in the 80's (except for the shorty short shorts haha)

Disregard, I found the perfect one made by Sealskinz. Comes in a s/m.

When I ride my vintage bikes I wear my casquette, not a helmet. In the winter I wear my 20+ year old Pearl Izumi skull cap thing that they no longer make that covers my ears under my cap. It works fine but I want a vintage style Belgian cap. My problem is my head is on the small size. The few...

:mrgreen:

Got it out today, this bike rips. I love the handling of a light 26" hardtail. The only thing I was concerned about were the brakes, they're lower end DB1's. But they were the biggest surprise. Plenty of power, no rotor rub and completely silent so far. The fork works fine but it'll be the first...
