Someone got a bargain there, I already have one, couldn't possibly bid

My 1992 Axis restoration, this one is a keeper, after selling a TTlite last year and regretting it, I don't think I will find a nicer Axis, plus I spent weeks restoring this one back to factory spec and mint condition

Such a nice paint effect on the 91 Axis, in great condition too. Bit of chain torture going on there ;-)

Good work there!

Seen at Philly bike expo 2025 show, hopefully a new trend and canti revival See velo orange report https://velo-orange.com/blogs/theveloorangeblog/cool-stuff-from-philly-bike-expo-2025 And scroll to Simona Dwass

Pwebb's 1992 Diamond Back Axis Build thread: https://www.retrobike.co.uk/threads/2025-time-warp-build-thread.488809/

Great job so far rescuing those components, it may take a lot of metal polish to get the crank set etc back to a shine buts it very possible, see my thread here https://www.retrobike.co.uk/threads/ernie-clements-build-thread.483117/ Note the very knowledgeable people that chimed in to help me...

Hi, the horizontal effective length of top tube is 21 1/2 " or 54cm. The effect of having a longer steerer and a forward facing 100mm ahead stem is that the distance between middle of seat post and handle bar is 65cm or 25 1/2 " so it does help to have the stem slightly higher and forwards to...

Last few days before this goes to the bay and I have to deal with the great unwashed

...still very red

thanks for the interest and comments... to answer the size Qs : The frame measures just over 17" ( centre of BB to top of seat tube) so its more like 17.5" I would add 2" to this for the notional 'frame size' given the very high bottom bracket and aggressively sloped top tube. From...

£495 complete bike as shown in latest build thread entry https://www.retrobike.co.uk/threads/pioneer-no-3-red-or-dead.489226 and pictured below The frameset has had professional dip, strip, powder coat and is in peachy condition. It is , like a lot of Pioneers, mixed tubing of...

I cant keep 3 , so this Pioneer is one I will part with - hopefully to someone who will appreciate it and the fact it offers retro looks and history with the convenience of problem free shifting and decent braking. The period Panaracer tyres are also a good compromise being of...

This turned into a 1x9 restomod with sharp braking and smooth shifting , zero chainslap due to clutch enabled rear mech and some rather nice original Hope XC hubs and super bling red rims :-) The Microshift advent drivetrain works seamlessly with the raceface narrow/wide...

final spec with some nicer bear trap pedals...

all the good bits are still there, quite a lot of resto work needed however so not for the faint hearted or those averse to wet+dry and metal polish - could get expensive too if the aim is to replace rather than just restore. See the other thread re MF Monarch and PM me if you want any...

still no bids? , c'mon what is wrong with people? these scrub up really beautifully and even those shifter and Nitto bars are worth £100 , plus I had a similar saddle grabbed out of my hand by a dealer at the Manchester Cycle Jumble recently - before we even started selling ! sign...

Wow, that is a rare opportunity, it's a large frame so not for the height challenged. Seems to be largely original and in great condition. I so wanted one of these when they were new, but ended up spending all my savings on a peak finder. If I hadn't restored a MF this summer I would grab that...
