the fork has been bought, a time stilletto fork

Unfortunately the Chris King brand is banned for all my projects, because it damaged badly the Daccordi I had causing a crack in the head tube during its intsallation, for the note I bought this Chris King headset in second hand and it was described as in very good condition.For this one, I...

I like steel a lot since I have a lot steel frames but my aluminium made MTBs proved me that well made aluminium frame MTB can last decades. That is why I decided to buy some alumnium road bike frames, this one was very attractively priced as was my Trek 2300 compared to my Veneto including its...

1 inch so I will have to chase for a inch carbon fork either from Ritchey or Time or Reynolds

Good evening Having Avid Speed Dial 5 brake levers, I decided to buy the Vbrakes for a new project. The Vbrakes XT 780 T that I bought in very large quantities were no longer on the market, so I fell back on the Avid Arch Rival for their braking power equivalent to disc brakes and without having...

Nice and solid commuter 👍 Those bikes were made to last forever

Good evening After my frustration with the purchase of the Trek 8500 frame and the opening of a dispute to get my money back, I gave the Trek 8500 frame as a gift to my bike shop because it could be useful to someone who wants a beater bike made in the USA. I bought a frame from a very rare...

Well when I received the package , it was half-open and the down tube had a small ding. Following this I decided to open a refund and return case. I also decided to give this frame to my local bike shop in case of someone wanted a beater bike frame. The worst part of the story was that the...

Good evening There are times when impulse buys are good surprises. The crazy prices with import fees of the stumpjumper m2 and m4 made it impossible for me to buy one despite many times when I saw one from the USA. Riding frames ranging from 19.5 to 21 inches, each time my bargains in Trek MTB...
