Re: Anything out there? Is everyone on retrobike 5ft6? :twisted:

Re: Hi thanks for posting. Completely forgot to mention anything I get would need to be a 20-22" as I'm 6ft4. Thanks anyway.

Hi. Friends have gotten themselves retro bikes and feeling left out, so I'm looking for a 96 or 97 specialized bike or frame. Ideally cheap so maybe a rockhopper. It an M2 stumpy would be amazing if I can afford it. [edit] should've said I need a 20" . Also happy to consider other...

Re: I still have my 1999 Xvert Carbon, with the leg extensions. Condition isn't great but do have the nice MRD team integrated crown/stem. My for sale post

Re: Have a set of x-vert R from 1998 I dont need. Removed from a 98 FSR Elite. £50 plus post? More pics on flickr if you click the link. DSC_0256 by Richard Elsdon, on Flickr

Hi, dont visit here much these days but still a habitual ebay trawler. Spotted something that i would dearly love to buy but cant justify so thought id share. Guy in Australia seems to have a stock pile of NOS hope things, inc. some big-UN hubs and Ti-Glides...

Re: Hi all. Sorry been out country. A-C is 520mm, max possible headtube/headset stack is about 170.

Also, forgot to mention, headset is a Campagnolo Chorus DSC_0188 by dickyelsdon, on Flickr

Assuming you mean seat tube and top tube? No not sloping, as i said its a bit of an odd one, designed with a low headtube and long horizontal top tube. So not square, oblong ;0) Forks are quite short too, but both brakes are short-drop so certain its not a weird 650c front wheel or anything...

I think i might have been a bit harsh on myself! Check them over and they really arnt bad at all bar damage to the graphics and a few marks on the stantions, even both the adjusters on the top of the fork work! . I do remember from use the seals are not great, so after a wet weekends DH you...

Im 6ft4, just needs a longer post than a tall frame and something to get the bars to your preferred height. I used either a quill/ahead adaptor with normal stem or a lovely nitto Technomic as they have a longer quill. With the threaded headset the headtube is a bit longer than it would be if...

Hi, Just been and measured as asked same question by someone else. Seat tube is 54cm bb to top. Head tube is 14cm Top tube 60cm (effective and actual as its horizontal). The damage on the dropout is a cut into the brazing of the dropout, not through the tube. Got some better daylight pics...

Re: Will take some better shots tomorrow for you. Generally ok on the carbon. It's the Alu that's a bit marked and the plastic adjusters.

Re: So you got a steal then? You can't compare prices for items where it's known what it is vs a random fluke sale. If so all the priceless super bikes on retrobike would only be worth £50 based on the fact one once sold at a car-boot for that price. He has said offers accepted, and breaking...

Re: If you got one for £150 against other bidders they were morons and you got a score, or the spec wasn't as good. Maguras, Middleburns, D521s alone would score near £300 today on eBay.

For sale, Dave Yates 853 race frameset. 60cm. Beautiful steel racer built by iconic North East builder. It's a odd size with short seat and head tubes but long (60cm) horizontal top tube. I used it as a Time Trial frame and also as a road bike, so it can do both fine Max 23c tyre due to tight...

Considering selling my old DH forks, been sat in the loft for years and ill never build a classic DH bike (to go with my unused modern one) so they probably need to go. Manitou X_Vert Carbon DH, 7" travel version with extensions on lower legs and longer internals. Conditon is average, they...

Re: Thanks, id want to know they were working before buying (too many corroded sets about) but if you can rebuild and confirm, or price accordingly id be interested.
