So I've just picked up an old Trek Mountain Track 820 for penny's, I'm trying to replace the rear brake cable but having issues with the cable mount/tube under the seat post. See pictures, I just can't get it to run through smoothly. Are there any ferrules I could use? If not any advice would...

Unfortunately not, bloke i got it off had just replaced them. Its got a pair of CST on now.

This is my 92 Diablo i picked up a few months ago, got it for a good price so could'nt resist!! Would much prefer an Encounter or MT3 as i had one when i was a bairn, this will do for now though!!

So i picked it up yesterday, first impressions are its a bit big. Probably about a 20" frame but ive not measured it as yet. Right hand shifter has been replaced with an old sis thumb shifter so will need replacing, has Exage 300LX as stated by lrh. Horrible plastic brake levers will have...

Looking forward to picking it up on Monday, will post some pics once collected.

Took a punt on this today:- http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/150862323351? ... 1497.l2649 Not quite sure what it is, i think its an Al Carter Saratoga, which from doing a bit of investigation is Townsends premium brand. Anyone know much more about them, or this one in particular??

So i payed for the STX shifter and have heard nothing from him since, anybody else having the same trouble?

Hi, its 8 speed. What part number does the alivio have? Cheers

Hi, My front 3 click shifter has broken, only clicks up to 2nd ring so need a replacement. Does'nt have to exact match, but would prefer to have the same on both sides so might have to buy a pair if different! Also the bike has STX RC front and rear mech so would take a pair of them if...

Is the Alivio shifter front or back??

Ah, very interesting. Any idea of how many were made? And what the name of the bike is? I'm struggling to find much on Google.

So then, a new pair of tyres, some autosol and shhe looks a lot better!!

Cheers, so what does that mean, do you have any more info?

Is this a picture of the decal your after? It also has this etched onto the underside of the frame:- YF96J03183 Cheers!

Hi, which decal and where exactly is it? Sorry I'm no expert so you may have to spell it out to me!

Ah, good find. Had a quick ride out on it and found a few problems, the rear mech takes a while to click down. Also the front only clicks up onto second ring.

Yeah, very happy with it. Looking at the shimano catalogue the stxrc was first produced in 1999 so it may be an mtrax 200 1999. Not much info to be found on Google though.

Pics as promised!

So....... I have collected the bike this morning, and it appears to be an M-Trax of some description. It has STX front and back, but its not titanium. Never mind, for £30 its well worth it. Pics to follow!!

Thanks for that, will hopefully collect it this weekend. It will be my first attempt at restoring a bike back to its former glory!! Really like the old Raleigh's especially the dynatechs and titanium frames. Had an encounter about 20 years ago and loved it!
