What year is the ibis K? I thought it was 86/7 - mtb seatposts were easily available by then, but the fashion wasn't to have them that long, I think most were 300 tops.
You need a hite-rite on the ibis too

I have a Hite Rite waiting Whilst the might have been easily available then they aren't noo, IRD and pre XC Suntours were it. American classics, Strong and SR's were carry over from the road.

I unpacked my latest project today and put it in the build queue!

The ex clockworkgazz Saracen Kili comp.

Many thanks to Gary for a smooth deal and to Rob (I think) for stepping aside to let me add it to the fleet. I have some parts for the build already but still have a few things I will need to get.
Hopefully it will be at a MacRetro meet near you in the new year.

Stuff the Kili, bring the Stumpy!

Looking good, glad it got to you ok, mind and post some pics when it is built up, the bike was just a wee bit small for me but if a larger one comes up I will be all over it. The wishbone rear gives it a really springy ride feels almost like you have a wee bit of rear suspension on the beastie.

Love your tools in the background, really nice wheel jig and a large rubber hammer, all you need is some allen keys and you have everything you will ever need for bike repair

They are just out of shot.
I will do a build thread on it once I have decided which direction it will be going. Looking forward to riding it soon hopefully so I can feel the spring myself.

ZZ, the stumpy is going single speed, so unless the meets are really flat I can't see it coming out. :cry: Love that bike though. Bought it new in '97 and don't think I'll ever get rid. Hope to do a wee build thread on that soon too. I have now got all the parts I needed so just need to build it. :roll:

Rob. Normally I would say bring it, but seeing as you are Chuck Norris approved I think I'll pass this time. I'll just need to stay out of Fife I guess.
Shouldn't be too much of a hardship.

jeezus not another generalized fan




singlespeeds get used quite often on macretro rideouts
as they're lighter to push
the winter season opener is a fine s/s friendly meet
