So I purchased this bike today off Craigslist. Older lady had it for sale with almost no background on the bike. Haven't been able to find much information about it on the internet. Originally thought it was a old MTB but right after I purchased it I realized it has 700c x 40c tires. Got it for...

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...

Well, the time has come to build my eldest a proper MTB. He's outgrown his islabikes and shot past a 14" Kona I was going to build him. So a nice Orange Elite should do for now. It's been hanging up for a while as it's too small for me and the 1 1/4" headsets annoy me now. It hard not putting...

I'll start my own thread for this bike. It was previously owned by clockworkgazz: viewtopic.php?f=6&t=28385 but I picked it up on a local Ebay auction. Not difficult to spot it as the same frame, given the repair work on the top tube! My reasoning for buying it, despite the need to actually...

1992 Raleigh Dyna Tech Diablo When I collected this bike during the summer it wasn't in the best of states. The original stem had been replaced with an ill fitting quill adaptor and the titanium bars were bent and distorted. The rear hub was also badly worn. However underneath the grease, dirt...

Having promised myself I wouldn't ever buy another bike with a smaller than 20" frame, this was such a bargain I couldn't resist. I didn't buy it with the intention of keeping it, or certainly not the frame, but having ridden it it isn't as cramped as I though, so I'm tempted! More pictures...

Ok so I bought brooklanders other frame as pictured by himself Paint is well thick 0.5mm in plases and a tough as a plastic covering, infact feels very much like it. Looks to be 3rd batch, but cannot find the serial number to confirm. Vital stats as I go along for myself or anyone...

August 2010: I picked up this lovely frame set from Mr K last week with the intention of getting it built up in time for the OWMTBC in September. As you can see it's a 1992 Saracen Traverse frame built from True Temper AVR tubing. It sat one model below the Traverse Elite, which was top of the...

Time to do something with the other old beast and since it's been sunny and I setup these forks and need to try them out on something So I've put old or newish of here parts I've had lying around on to it, Steerer tube is too long, but my other one is a fraction too short. I cannot cut this as...

September 2009 After deciding I had to have an early 90's e-stay I managed to get hold of this frameset a few weeks ago from Kaiser (thank you). I've finally got around to building it up for some riding. In terms of components I've tried to keep it as close to the period correct and...

Back in early 1992 when my Karakoram Elite had been stolen, and after an agonising 6 weeks without a bike, I had the task of choosing a replacement with my insurance money. I went for a lovely bright yellow GT Bravado with its XT and DX component mix and some great details, like the 'groove...
