Had one from new. Lovely bike.. regretted trading it in bitd so much that I had to have another go..

It’s a ‘95

Priced as a genuine, one-off original, naturally.

I nearly had a heart attack there. I thought that thing had a set of Onza HO cranks attached! I’ve never clicked a link so fast 😂

I actually find USE is the most painful of all retro brands to hunt on eBay. Type it into the search and you get “used womans underwear” in the drop down. Or at least, I seem to 😂

Good stuff. Thanks

Quick one - stripping a set of these down for a service. What oil are people using for the damper? 5w?

Yes, the XTR text is printed onto the cranks.. unless it has been rubbed off through extensive use, at which point you can pick up a brand new, repro sticker on EBay..

I think he is referring to the stick-on decals, which are, most definitely, like new.

Hey. It’s “really fast”, okay? Either that or the “professional bike company” renovated it really fast. Hard to tell with that command of grammar. Most probably the latter.

This more or less annual thread always makes me smile. To summarise, each year, almost everyone wants to a) ride more, b) complete more builds and c) reduce bikes / parts inventory… … and yet somehow, when the annual 2025 reckoning takes place, almost each and every one of us will have a) rode...

Cheap as chips.. unfortunately for a US-based buyer only. Postage quote to UK was USD 350.. and that’s before all the inevitable customs shenanigans..

With prices like that, we can all liquidate our sheds and retire.

I think one of the later Flite Evos might have had hollow Ti rails.. but no doubt some one will be able to confirm or correct..

Or indeed.. saddle rails..

I like a factory spec - and that one is mint. I would keep it as is, because there can’t be many more in this spec and condition. That’s what makes it special in 2024. That being said, it’s your bike so 🤷🏼‍♂️

Funny you should mention that… I picked up a complete bike earlier this year with a similar steel railed Vector and instantly whipped it off for a Ti tailed Bontrager.. but as I (scientifically) weighed them both up in my hands.. they felt pretty much the same - which was confirmed by the...

Come on.. it’s a rare Team Scream version..

I think this guy has a bricks and mortar establishment in Dalston, East London. Have walked past plenty of times but never seen it open. Crammed with old roadie stuff and catering to the local hipster market rather than the denizens of these parts..
