And I don't know how to define this bike. 80's mtb? time-trial bike? one of those tricks bikes so popular in Germany? According to the seller, he got it as a marketing gift from a matress company... Brand Schlaraffia, selling for €125

Another interesting one. A Hercules Arizona, an 80s mtb with a Sachs fork (very similar to early Manitous) and very early disk brakes. Going for €170. Sachs was the German manufacturer producing mostly gear hubs and some derailleurs. It was bought by SRAM.

nice and rare find.
Some later Hercules "Alabamha", Hardtails with Sachs Disc show up quite often, this one rather not...

Yours should be roughly 1994-95.
The Sachs Power disc brake was introduced in 94, but most users not get too much exited, because braking power wasn't very good.

It's not a Sachs fork, but a regular Manitou 2, the purple decals shine a bit through behind the Sachs stickers.
Here is the bit later 3, still same disc mount.


Sachs was then indeed working on own suspension forks, and showed a few prototypes, but this never turned into serial production.



Last but not least, Sachs had already in 1994 produced a series of 150 bikes, with aluminium frames from Votec, sold as showcase for Sachs products and New Success incl. disc brakes to dealers.

And now, a Swingbike, for €175!! Actually I tried one of those in a bike festival recently. Instead of pedaling, you need to move similarly as if you were rowing. It takes a few seconds to learn the moves but then it's quite fun!!

I have been looking at these Mongoose Motomags for months. No way I can justify spending $800 for a pair of 20" rims, but they're soooooooooo cooooool!

I don't even have a 20" BMX. My brain is broken

This one ought to garner some interest. Full suss isn't my thing, but I still think it's hawt. Voodoo Canzo ESP with Bomber and full XT group, $500
Worth noting, these are Canadian pesos, exchange to the pound is about .56, or 76¢ American

I love Voodoo's. I always have my eye out for a 1996 Bizango but they are rarely seen in on the southwest coast of BC. eBay, Pinkbike and FB listings pop up pretty often in California.

That's a nice bike. The orange Bomber Z1 alone would tempt me to negotiate
