1991

Pick this up yesterday (4hr round trip) it was listed on here in the for sale section a few weeks ago. a 1991 GT Xizang Le, all original decals and a scratch free frame even the drive side chainstay. I have a 1990 Canadian built first year (for a full titanium framed Xizang) I built this as...

Hi all. Another set of scans from my recent scanning frenzy! Here are the show reports that appeared in both the MBUK and MBi in November '91 showcasing what was coming in 1992. Enjoy. boy"O"boy MBUK November 91......

I've been sorting through a couple of boxes of old MBUK and MBi magazines and thought I would start sharing some of the articles, bike tests and other interesting stuff from within. This time it's the MBUK Summer Special from 1991.

This one is already in the archive but this is full colour & includes the missing 2 pages. High res pdf available for Archive.

I've waited a while to get my hands on a hard copy of this, which I have now scanned in :)

Hi all, I purchased a 1990 Pacific Cycles MTN XPERT to restore with my son, and when searching found 2 things. 1/ There is very little information on this brand. 2/ I was really impressed with the specification of the bike. After doing a good chunk of digging I have amassed a whole bunch of...

My Karakoram Elite is the bike that got me back into biking, having not ridden one since the age of 15. It's also the bike that led me to Retrobike, so quite clearly the most expensive bike I will ever buy. However, since the day I decided the paint was too tatty to keep (which was easier to...

1991 Saracen Tufftrax Extreme Added another Saracen to my collection last week thanks to Boscarn. This one is a near 100% original Tufftrax Extreme from the 1991 model year. Even the colour matched reflector brackets were included. I'm not sure how 'extreme' it is but it is certainly in very...

1991 Saracen Trekker Hydrotech I collected this frame from Gravy Monster over a year ago and I've been gradually accumulating the parts for it since then. Many other key parts including the brakes, wheels, bars and stem also came from James, and the rest came from a variety of other sources...

My Karakoram was my first retro bike when I bought it a few years ago. It was well used and a mixture of original and replacement parts. I got it for a bargain £30-£40 on eBay. I rode it as it was for 18 months, but once I had decided it was very much a bike I liked I started collecting up...

Well, I still haven't started a thread for the Karakoram Elite, but today I'm off work, hoping to get a little done on the Zaskar, so I thought I would start a thread for it. This is the frame I bought here on Retrobike: It's 20" and was made November 1990, so pretty early Zaskar: I bought...

You know how it is when you see something a bit colourful and bike shaped on eBay and you put in a low bid and then promptly forget about it? Well I'd completely forgotten about this one until I was contacted with a second chance offer stating that the original winner had pulled out of the...

First ride out on my recently aquired GT Karakoram Elite. This was my first proper mountain bike back in early 1992. I remember that I'd just spent the day fitting some new XT thumbshifters and generally fettling to perfection, then the very next night, before I'd even ridden with the thumbies...
