I did wonder what happened to my old thread, good to see someones done a revival

this is in the local recyclecycle, you can see a gt tequesta and a timberline underneath all that unloved tat

and this is my mates Raleigh, a Special products division labelled frame that looks very m-trax ish

I saw a minty looking p7 being ridden along a little back track near me about a month ago I have kept an eye out for it to see if it was local but not seen it since

Interesting way of mounting a Crud...

My thoughts too at first - but I suspect the fork linkage would hit it under the downtube. Personally, I'd look for a 'proper' Crud in that case, but hey...

Couple of years back while visiting Vienna i walked a shortcut through some narrow residential streets and a pale bronze colour mid-90s Cinder Cone caught my eye. It was an urban hack, city tyres, grimey mechanicals, some practical attachment like a rack or old mudguards or something, chained up alongside a few other bikes with it's crossbar against the lamppost ( :x ). To most people probably just another invisible bike among hundreds they walk past daily but to me it was totally stand-out cool

Passing Southampton station today spotted these two...1st a 1997 Team Marin (mech and chainset non original) and a 1989/90? GT Tequesta that looked in good shape and original!

I was staying at the southern tip of Manhattan a few weeks ago and saw this chained up on the street:




Certainly the earliest Rockhopper I've seen, and very nearly complete and original-check out the grips. The street was lined with Ferraris....I was taking pics of this! I was thinking '85?

I've regularly seen this Kona Kilauea being ridden to the local supermarket by a gentleman since I have been back in the UK:



I love how well used it is. I'm not so sure about the braking though.
