    Bianchi Backstreet early 90s

    Ok forget about the Peugeot Tombatt I posted on the "how much.." (didn't get any replies to that tho). Instead I picked this up - an early 90s Bianchi Backstreet. Plan is to used 700c x 32 brevet tires or maybe cross tires, get the original RST front forkshock working, shallow drop bar on a...

    The one and only "HOW MUCH IS MY xyz WORTH" thread

    Good day all... just want to get some opinion on this - it's a Peugeot Tombatt with XT components and a RockShix Judy fork. Don't know what year it is but frame has provision for disc brake. Owner wants GBP250 for it. Is it worth the asking price? Any info appreciated. Thank you :D

    I know what FAQs mean... the problem is how does "it" know that my question is not a FAQ when I couldn't even type it? perhaps I wasn't clear - there is no "new topic" button

    Campy Rear Der - help identify

    Thank you for the clarification. Yes it's full of scratches probably due to the fact that it was stashed in a bin full of nuts, bolts and what have you when I saw it. The jockey wheels are trashed so got rid of those. I'll try to get this polished and see if I could get rid of some of the scratches.

    Campy Rear Der - help identify

    A friend gave me this campy rear derailleur says he has no use for it. I think it's an 8s Chorus but he says its a Record 1st gen 8s although he isn't quite sure. Appreciate your expert opinions please. Thanks

    97 killer caad3 finally built

    I couldn't agree with you more. I'd like to shed a couple of more lbs. from this bike so a few upgrades are planned. The headshok gives a plush ride but seems to be on the softside for my taste. I think I lose a third of the travel from sag (designed that way?) After my maiden ride yesterday I...

    97 killer caad3 finally built

    posted the frame/stem/bar in bike chat sometime ago... after a bit of scouring the shack for bike parts I finally built it up. The thing weighs 25.6lbs. and I'm giving it a long distance test ride tomorrow.

    What is this frame?

    I recently came across this frame. Although it says Ralph Lauren I do know that was just slapped in there by the owner. I've seen another of the same frame with no name/branding whatsoever but with a different shock. Can anyone ID it? The frame material is cromoly and tig welded, kinda heavy.
