They had a Austrian that only raced DH in Europe and did it pretty good, the German where better on the trial mtb and traveling around the world with shows. On the CC part they had some riders that where supported with a little money and bikes but not full pros. This frame where designed as a...

Hi Are there any collectors of Heavy Tools bikes/frames here on RetroBike or maybe know if there are a special place where they meet (if there are a place). Reason I ask is that I have a Heavy Tools Equipe FS 1 Size M/48cm (red stickers and proto frame) in very good condition (almost mint)...

Re: Re: Nice frame, I really like the yellow-black paint but the frame is just sweet no matter the paint job, comfy, swift and calls for more fun and smiles :) Only one thing that disrupts my eyes, the skinny tires, I would chose Continental Town and Country tires, they have a bigger air...

Yhaa you are right, have the same feeling when I have them in my hands and when I by mistake jumps on the bike...they run nicly, was a great pleasure to build them and be able to keep the real retrolook together with modern funktions and weight.

Denso_Retro Sometimes things change like the weather but for sure when the mood is back the building are returning, you know what men with bikes are "old" children is a fit word I think. Sadly I don´t have the ability to use mine so much as I wish, health problems but old geezers like me ends...

Have made some upgrades on my old Trek, they are not new but forgot to post them in this tread. I could have used the old original parts but I just enjoy riding that old Trek so upgrades where nessesary and matching decals make it look more finished :-) When the bike will go on pension the...

Re: Where did you measure the seatube C-C or C-T ? (42cm is not 17.5" but 16.5") Do you live in Romania ? Shipping price to Denmark Cheers Carsten

At the moment you make the order when paying with credit/debit card there are made a reservation on the amount of the invoice/order when that is done the order is cleared and shop have the money when parcel is going to be shipped, it´s for the shops and the customers safety. When ordering...

That is exactly what I mean the law is... when ordering there will be made a reserve in the bank (shops security) and when the parcel is packed and registered with the shipping company they can draw the money but only when ready for shipping, the reason is obvious, if order is canceled the...

Hey Retrobike people... I have made an order from J.E James online and now 3-4 days later I have a feeling the are making there own rules... I ordered some parts Monday morning, Tuesday they pulled my money from my account but today Thursday they haven't shipped the goods yet and probably wont...

It should be possible to buy these from First Principles Engineering http://www.firstprincipleseng.com/whats ... 62002.html http://www.firstprincipleseng.com/index.html

Re: FS: Something a bit special, lucky strike ti What size frame are we talking about, seat tube C/T ? Would you consider splitting frame and fork from the rest ? Cheers

Two different bikes, it all depends what use you have and what type of tracks you prefers. In short, Hei Hei is a full blooded Race bike with the extra benefits the titanium gives, D-Jab is more slack and demand a little less of the rider when the fun starts (going down, jumps). Both are...

And less arm muscles to ad extra weight when riding. :D The frame weight have very little to say, unless the frame weigh 3-4kg... Its a balance between low friction and weight strength on the rotating parts that matters. Every five grams spared on rotating parts gives about 30gr on a non...

Here you can see it fast, its the oval logo, until i´m at my other house you have to live with that, but you will get a real picture from one of my frames and jerseys :-)

I have 26" , 650b and 29" bikes, my prefered bikes are now my old Trek 9900 and my Merida Big Seven CF Team, my BIG Nine do nothing but collecting dust. I have just finished the CAD drawings to my upcoming XC Carbon fully, it will also be a 650b and probably be build by Sarto if they have the...

Heavy Tools actually came from Austria more precise Mattighofen/Salzburg, they made quite nice Mountain Bikes (hardtails and fullys), BMX (mainly re-branded KHE) and in the mid 90´s Trial MTB, they also sold snowboards and nice mountain bike clothing (the relaxed type we see now days but this...

Re: If its the disc brake you talk about its not true, I did build quite a bit of customer bikes with Formula disc brakes in the mid 90s (94/95 if I remember right) These came in late 1993.

Hi Denso Your project sounds great, the color makes me happy, just remember to get an extra layer off clear coating on the frame, just gives the extra glow and dept in the sun :-) Funny you have chosen to put modern parts on and with some "retro" feeling over it...I have done the same since...
