    Diamondback Ascent & Apex differences

    I think it depends on the year. For at least 1994 / 95 the frames were different, the Ascent was True Temper AVR and the Apex True Temper TT Lite

    Does anyone have info on my retro SUNN bicycle frame? Year would help , said to be one of the first softails ever made.

    It's from 1998. I think it was the first year that Sunn offered soft tails but I don't know about other brands. Sunn offered the flex soft tail option on several of their steel frames and the titanium Exact. I built up my hard tail version to near catalogue spec, you can see it here: 98 Sunn...

    Billy bargain Sunns

    The top of the range MTB, road and BMX frames were made in France, with the exception of the Morati-made titanium frames, so in 1999 that was the Exact and Radical Plus MTBs, Quadrimax road bike and the Ridd Max BMXs. The others were made in Taiwan. Yours look in great condition, still has the...

    Billy bargain Sunns

    Nice! It's a '99, last year of the 'real' Sunns :) These are great, frame was handmade in the St. Gaudens factory in France. The forks look like they need a service but very do-able

    For Sale Sunn urge un flex softail 1999

    These are great bikes and I think this is an absolute bargain, and would have bought it on eBay if I didn't already have too many Sunns and postage was offered. Still might be tempted... As a slight correction, the forks are actually the much better (air/oil rather than elastomer) and more...

    I've just seen this on leboncoin.fr: https://www.leboncoin.fr/velos/2604343175.htm The photos and description have been taken from an old build thread of mine: https://www.retrobike.co.uk/threads/98-sunn-revolt.133831/ My bike is in England and is not for sale. The seller on leboncoin has good...

    Sold Scott Speedster

    I bought this as my first ever road bike to commute to work, but I'm selling as while it is faster than MTBs that I normally ride I don't find it as comfortable or as fun to ride. I wasn't sure what its worth so put it on eBay but the winning bidder never paid or replied to any messages, so...

    2007 Cotic Soda

    I bought this frame from @Southville Hop a while ago which was an absolute pleasure, and thought I would start a thread. It's not much of a build as I pretty much swapped everything over from my Leon Bike prototype which I had to accept was too small for me. This is bigger but comes in about...

    Sold Endura Single Track Fleece jerseys - worn once

    I've got a couple of Endura Single Track Fleece long sleeve jerseys in large size for sale, one black and one forest green. I washed them, wore them to commute to work and back once (about 1hr each way) with a base layer underneath and jacket over the top, and then washed again before accepting...

    Sold DBR Jersey

    1993/94 ish(?) DBR long sleeve jersey. Its marked as XL but I'd say tis more like a medium - actual measurements are 46cm pit to pit across the chest and 56cm from the top of the collar to the hem. Very good condition with just a few marks as shown in the photos and colours still nice and vivid...

    Commencal Flame 1st "Batch" 2000, Frame # 103

    Re: Nice 8) You don't see many of these at all. I'd love to see any photos you have of your original 2000 frame that broke. I'm a 2000 Supernormal owner which I think had the same frame as the Flame but a lower spec. I have the 2000 catalogue and the Flame doesn't get featured, just gets a...

    Just plain dangerous? (ebay content)

    Re: Are these kind of lightweight retro aluminium handlebars likely generally safe to use these days, or does it depend on the brand and the condition?

    Furthest distance you would travel ...

    Re: I went to Llille on the Eurostar to get a bike once. Actually not that far distance wise but a bit convoluted. I did have a nice day out as well though

    Sunn cycles Traff

    Re: I think these were built as a shopping bike or like a bit of a Boris Bike idea, except they were available to buy - would have cost you 2990F back in 1998. I think they are hard to value as they are pretty rare (I've only ever seen a few come up for sale) but probably a limited market for...

    Eastbourne.. living/riding?

    Re: I was born and grew up in Eastbourne and still go back there pretty frequently, and have also lived and worked in and around London for the past ~20 years as a comparison. I think Eastbourne is like a lot of places really, in that there are good areas and bad areas. I think the good areas...
