1997

Own a piece of history! I traded a battered half-ton Ford pickup truck for this 1997 Bontrager Privateer in 1999 and have owned it ever since. Well maintained over the years and hardly ridden since I have treated it like the museum piece that it is. A few components were upgraded by the original...

Following my Hawzie Team Trials build last year I've been on the look out for a good Ashton Cannondale build contender and this week I picked it up! A Cannondale M800 BOtE. It's officially a '95 bike, but has the '96 onwards dropouts and is in all intents and purposes the 96/97 Caad2 frame I...

:Intro: Hello Kona, Clunker, Beach Cruiser, Hybrid and Single Speed lovers, The hope is a somewhat quick turn around on this build in time for late Spring and early Summer. I think the wheel combination will be the biggest hurdle to overcome, and in that any guidance you are willing to share...

Absolute bonkers rare Kona posted to Facebook today: "HAND ON THE FIRST KONA TITANIUM_ 1997 TEAM WAS USED BY PETER WEDGE."

Hi there. I am wondering. Why is there not a single Scott catalogue in the archives? I have attatched a few I have on my drive, ranging from 89 to 99. Maybe someone could add them to the archive at some point? Cheers!

Offering a Giant Terrago from their Sport Series from 1997 in blue. Comes with its 25.4 threaded fork, headset and a bottom bracket included. The frame is 18" and is made of a 4130 extreme light weight double butted chromoly ("design and development in Europe" it says) As you can see in the...

Thought I'd better put a post up about my Orange 1997 O2, I've had it since new and its well overdue a refresh. I've kind of gone with the same theme I did with the P7 I did last year, bit of modern mixed with a bit of new and add a bit of comfort. The frame has been coated in white as opposed...

Hey folks, I'm looking for scans of Merlin Cycles adverts from the 90s-early 2000s. They used to have an advert in MBUK or MBR every month, I recall, so there should be plenty around. I think there might be two Merlins? One from the USA (Merlin Metalworks) and one from the UK (Merlin Cycles)...

October 2010: I was given this frame as payment for building up another Zaskar back in about 2004. It's a 1997 Zaskar frame which was originally powder-coated black and not anodised as is commonly thought. It was fairly tatty when I got it, with a damaged rear brake boss, but still had the...

Well I've decided to buy a modern frame. Regulars will recognise it :lol: It's a 1997 Kona Explosif Painted green and it's far 'greener' than I thought from the photo's but then I shouldn't use a laptop screen for gauging colours :lol: It has an added Canti brace at the back It's...

First proper ride out on my GT Bravado since I got hold of some Marzochhi Z2's which needed a bit of work. I'm nearly there with the spec on this bike now... I originally bought this bike as a frame and rigid fork brand new back in 1997. The deal included the Kore stem, headset and an...
