I bought this bike not entirely sure of the maker who turned out to be MBM Italy as had been debadged by the previous owner who lived in Ladbroke Grove not surprising! I suppose the hardened Fixie riders out there will look down as its not cinelli, campagnolo colnago or pinarello.. BUT I...

Just wonderd if anyone can help ID this one fom the 1977 catalogue here: http://members.peak.org/~bclee/Puch/ I think its the Paladin from this site (http://www.thedirtbum.com/2011/09/proje ... avette-ii/) and this info, Date codes on the components are a mixture of “77″ and “78″, so I’m...

a big thanks to both you guys, can't believe I didn't find this, maybe not as good at internet research as I thought! you are both actually incredible as I never spotted that there was a cantilever hanger + vrakes so they have been added later! and secondly that bike shop is only a 5 min ride...

Please folks can anyone ID this frame I think its 1997 from the serial number and came with Maitou Spyder around that time, wheels where 5 spoked Grimecas in orange and everything was Shimano XT, beer for identifier!! theres a yellow Quest logo running doen the main tube and another red on...

true true hat, to my eye, is just so wrong in so many ways. It looks like it just can't decide what it wants to be, road, path, mountain bike. I sincerely take your point, however for some reason the pic makes the front wheel tyre looks v large its onlr 1.5", and i do agree the vbrake looks...

thanks for your response I really thought it was from the same link as yours but... according to the catalogue the Constellation wasn't there in '62 I think the Capella Clubman and Catalina must be very similar, the Catalina has oval section forks in the catalogue.. as about the only...

bought this a couple of weeks ago from a card at morrisons looking for £50 which is what I paid,100% true the guy wanted £60 and took £50 the only thing is the mudguards aren't for this size wheels so will take them and the rack off, and the saddle,I got a good deal and get some bits, you...

thanks thanks for the better pics, keep em coming!

think twice i would say this bike is definitely not suitable for touring, whilst it is beautiful to get an idea of what I mean, take a look at the Surly touring bikes http://surlybikes.com/bikes/long_haul_trucker I agree with Surly this this type of geometry etc is really a tourer, the...

my advice I love Kona, but... and this is my opinion .. for Mountain bikes you would usually go for a smaller frame than for road use, so for me i would avoid these long seat post kona's, as although they are great looking they are very unstable on the road, tthe only time the bike almost got...

the idea what some people do is put a massive buy it now, if you contact them they may do a cash deal to avoid ebay fees! a bit like a street hooker asking if you're looking for business..

i had a 1995 bobcat trail the badge stated tange "something"... but strangely the bike is much lighter than other Marins, and ligghter than my 2000 Muirwoods, they say the bobcat is quite low in the ranking, i'm not too sure as the muirwoods is quite high so wht was the bobcat so much lighter...

shit i was thinking about this one as well what a james blunt!

depends where u live if i park my marin novato 2008 for more than 5 minutes I mysteriously always find 2 hoodies leaning nearby! its like a magic trick! so for me a pub bike or grocery getter just means a decent enough bike that slips through "hoodie" radar, I'm usually ok as i also wear...
