Lovely barge, should serve you well with that amazing mileage. I always liked these big, spacious comfy cars, such a pity they rusted rather badly and rapidly. RWD for the win!

Could ride dreadfully with that stupid alloy-looking front fork, but at least it's suspended under your bottom: https://www.kleinanzeigen.de/s-anzeige/sbike-829-retrobike-mountainbike-xtr-m900/2875747122-217-7618

I ride at pretty flat terrain mostly, so can't really complain about V-brake stopping power. I can see if new tech benefits the discerning rider, only that I'm a bit of an oldschool knobhead and do hope to remain so. Stocked some nos rims too, so no problem with the brake pad surface contact:-)

Can't be arsed by anything after '00, can say confidently I am all set, had hoarded enough of the finest steel and ti frames available, made until the end of the last century, plus a shitload of the finest kit by the big S made in Japan makes me confident biking isn't much of a hassle for the...

Get a frame with Tange Superlight tubes, they're as good as it gets, make sure it's your size and off you go! I'd say their Ti frames are also worth a look.

As they say: Morati ti forks are like buses, waiting for one for eons, then 2 turns up. Exactly what happened to me recently and I am still eternally grateful to @H1v9a8c8 for tipping me about the only NOS set of canti brake' 26 forks for sale in the entire goddamned Universe (thanks mate, what...

It WAS, not now. Sorry mate, in the meantime it got sold. Team Issues and Team Marins were often built with same frames, it depends on the year obviously. As far as I know all high-end steel frames were built in Taiwan, happy to be proven otherwise. Some of the early titanium frames were...

Still for sale!

Talk about the Holy thread resurrection BATMAN, ehh!!! Yeah, it seems stupidly long, but all I need is a good defence....so I was searching for a set of Morati forks with V-brake studs for about 4 years or so. Here's why: I'd just sold the Manitou R7 first and after that seriously considered...

Hi all, I'm building my ultimate (at least to me) rigid Ti MTB and looking for a 1" or 1 1/8" ahead 100-120 mm ti stem with at least 15 degree rise. If anyone could help me with this issue, I'd be most grateful! Thanks, Endre

Lovely, indeed, i bet it's under 1.9 kg as a bare frame, Tange Superlight is a name not without a good reason. I'd swap the UN5X BB-while it's a sturdy and practical choice- with something fancier and much lighter too.

Try the freezing spray method, with those remains of the seatpost sticking out still, it should work. Secure seatpost in the vice. Put sponge material around the seattube as long as possible to cover the seatpost surface area inside. Get the strongest freezing spray available. As the setpost...

Bloody hell, say what you might, but I'd definitely make a commuter/beater from a Bow-Ti, just for sheer fun and raising some eyebrows as well... Inflation considered, they aren't looking the best investment decision ever also, as RRP back then could have been similar money I guess.

Lovely ad slogan also: bluegray XTR vintage-well, er...technically correct - so, the best kind of correct.

Not a bargain, but for a retro hamster not a bad deal either, collection in person only though: https://www.kleinanzeigen.de/s-anzeige/shimano-xtr-vintage-blaugrau/2787636451-217-2118

It's been a while ... anything outthere???

Why do I collect them? They don't make them like they used to anymore, so I really have no other choice than to bag them as long as I am able to... And one more thing. A mass-produced (OK, not that mass) '95 Breezer Lightning is still second to none today if we talk about fine iron. And there...

IRD QB-95. Such a shame that its sexy shape is hidden when in use.🥲

The original classic style. Black n' white, with a hint of tan, no bullsh*t. Shortage of spokes looks strange, though.

So wrong on so many levels...I love it:p Could be easily made today, would look the part still!
