Hi all, I've been having hot water problems lately (I have to have cold showers when it rains, no idea why) so I decided to go hunt down the hot water system this morning to check it out. I ducked under the house and found this thing. I bought it in the early 90's I think. I can't be...

Cheers guys, didn't think it would go down too well here, but you guys are a friendly mob :) I do have a rear disc brake adapter but I'm loving the canti's on the back, it's just a little bit of the old bike that's still there, and still working fine. I like the idea of leaving some things...

OK, so here's the build: How I found her, under the house. Cleaned up and serviced. Grip Shift. Rims and spokes were looking pretty nasty. Off with their heads! Marzochi DJ's. I've always wanted suspension forks, never ever tried them. These were for looks, more...

Hi guys, New here and loving some of the bikes I've been checking out. I've been busy working on a bike I found under the house. It's an old (but not vintage) Specialized Hardrock which I never really loved and only bought for fitness purposes. I'm getting back into bikes, and the...
