    Look KG 292 "Jalabert style"

    Hello. Well, the truth is that I gave them to my brother a long time ago. Although it sounds strange, I don't like them very much, in general I don't like any rim with an aerodynamic profile and even less so in frames with thin tubes. He doesn't really use them, they are not practical because...

    Marin Monocoque: a little sister for Team Marin

    I said I wasn't going to polish the fork, just leave it completely functional internally. I think I lied. I also said the same thing about Atac power and I also lied. I have polished both pieces and placed the corresponding or missing stickers. This weekend I disassembled the shift grips to...

    Marin Monocoque: a little sister for Team Marin

    Well, I think the time is coming to finish off this bike. I saw that it was becoming too "boring" with so much silver color. It is clear that the color that best matches this bicycle is anodized blue. The bicycle is crying out for it! I've decided to give it some small, subtle touches of blue...

    Everything comes together with a good glue: Raleigh Chill 1990

    I have also started with the decoration. The "Heinch Medium" font modifying the "E" and the "I" is really similar to the original Tecnium. I was missing on my bike, so I relied on photos from the internet, but the result seems good. The color is not original, but I think the green I have chosen...

    Everything comes together with a good glue: Raleigh Chill 1990

    Sincere thanks The bike is almost finished. I found the brake parts that were missing in a box that had been stored for too long and I was now able to put in all the wiring. I have changed the slightly rusty nuts from not being used! 🤣 I also found a fundamental piece in the early '90s: the...

    Everything comes together with a good glue: Raleigh Chill 1990

    Well, it's almost there. The tires are not the final ones, I have some saved that if the decoration looks good they will be a great complement. And if not, I have plan "B". Cassette, chain, saddle, wiring and adjustment, a bottle cage and the decals...

    Everything comes together with a good glue: Raleigh Chill 1990

    The cranksets are FC-MT 60. They are not too bad but they did have some serious scratches, so they have also been polished, leaving them as little bright as possible. I don't master that technique much, but I like how it turns out. They had round chain rings, but I decided to put some Biopace, I...

    Everything comes together with a good glue: Raleigh Chill 1990

    For the seatpost screw I have several in black, but since I have decided to have all silver, I have removed the anodizing from one of them. It had DX BR-MT62 NOS brakes but unfortunately they were missing the springs and dust covers. I found some BR-M650s in very bad condition but they had the...

    Everything comes together with a good glue: Raleigh Chill 1990

    I remembered that I had an old Ritchey handlebar that I polished many years ago, it was my first time trying to polish a part, in 2008 or 2009. I put it on and of course the bike should now have silver elements. I didn't have any seatpost in 27.2 silver so I started looking for one quickly and...

    Everything comes together with a good glue: Raleigh Chill 1990

    It has been stopped for about 15 days for personal reasons, but over the weekend I made progress. I started by discarding the riveting system of the lower cable guide for a screw, which is more beautiful and, above all, practical. It is a simple operation and a good start. Along the way, check...

    Everything comes together with a good glue: Raleigh Chill 1990

    🤣 Yes, it must be admitted that I am very communicative.But I don't have to say that I can't dedicate all the time I would like to the bicycles, but I can't stop thinking about the project and then I have to tell it.

    Wanted Giant team trials

    I have it! 🤣 A beautiful ATX team. I think it's the 2nd best bike I've ever owned. The 1st without hesitation my Giant FO composite. In fact, I recently changed it for a BMC, a frame that I had been very excited about for years but I couldn't find a 26", during the pandemic a NOS one appeared...

    Marin Team Titanium 95/96

    Congratulations, beautiful bike. I agree that it is a risk, it makes the bike ugly and for the use you have decided to give it, the discs contribute little. As mentioned before, I think that some XTR 952 will not disappoint you. They are a winning bet. I don't usually use Shimano, except for...

    Everything comes together with a good glue: Raleigh Chill 1990

    The decoration is missing...it's not going to be easy, I barely had any stickers to take a good photo and be able to draw it. Also I can't find the exact Raleigh decals either, all I see are different fonts. For simplicity I think I will adapt some font, for example the "technium" could work...
