Re: Re: Thanks a lot, much appreciated! Ugly in a way in my book, but also super rad in another way...

Also, if anyone happens to know the manufacturing year, I'd much appreciate that information! It came with a full 3x7 Suntour XCD groupset, has a 26.0 seatpost and a 1" steerer.

Made the conversion: It weighs approx. 12.3 kilos, which is fair. Has 42-13 gearing right now, will go higher up the back, cuz my knees don't cultivate this ratio too much. It's a surprisingly quick, and ridiculously fun bike. Needs some tweaking, wheels have to be dished correctly, and...

Took it home:

TL;DR I needed an ugly bike to run around the city with, this came up for cheap, turned out to be one of best bikes I've had in a long time. Seller's pic:

So I had this Merida frame laying around for a few months, wanted to make it a drop bar monstercross machine, but in the end another frame became that project. The components will be the following: XT 730 hubs, crankset, rear derailleur Wolber AT-18 rims DX M650 front derailleur Random Shimano...

Mom usually rides her hybrid flatbar roadie to work, but when the weather gets bad she uses a 26" aluminum city MTB something bike, which isn't her size, looks ugly and weighs a ton. Time to change that.

Hey lads! A good friend of mine would like to gather some information about his Gecko bike. Manufacturing date, country of origin, etc. Anyone know anything about this brand? Pretty light stuff, about 10 kg with these components.

Sorted, got a pair! Can close thread, thank you!

Hey, I'm looking for a set of 3x7 or 3x8 speed indexed Shimano bar end shifters—anything except Dura Ace(!), as I'll set these up with XT derailleurs. EU highly preferred, and the maximum amount I can pay is 50 EUR incl. shipping to Hungary. I don't mind the visual condition, as long as it...

Some parts are temporal, gonna get standard brake levers instead of the brifters, will swap the saddle etc.

Pretty sure they didn't. Afaik the only sizes were 26.6 26.8 and 27.0.

1992 DB Axis frame, parts bin build, perfect commuter.

Thanks and sorry for the late reply! XLC HB-C03 handlebar and a Hooger Booger CrMo stem. Currently installed here:

That must have been a fun and interesting project for sure, thanks for sharing! :)

Re: Re: Thank you very much for your quick answer! It's grey with blue decals. Seller's pic:

Hey lads! I am going to get a '92 DB Axis frame soon, and by the time it arrives I would like to have the seatpost settled as well. The problem is, both the seller and I are clueless of its diameter. Does anyone maybe know? So again, it is an Axis (not Apex!), from '92, this catalog has it on...

I use these, they're trekking bars, not cruisers, but still have a fair amount of rise and setback. XLC HB-C03 They look like this when installed: Picture1 Picture2
