Why do you collect retro bikes?

[90's Ninja]

Another reason is bringing back the colors into this sad black mess...View attachment 816628

Damn. That's a really cool bike! Any more info or build thread on that?

Currently own:
1998 GT Tempest

I like GT bikes the most although I have owned many other brands too

Just added another 1992 GT Pantera AL in red to my collection!

Thank you!
It's a 1990 Centurion Stratos. I got it for cheap bu the Suntour shifters and brakes where broken so I rebuilt it as a singlespeed. Love the colors and the frame is also pretty stiff and not to heavy but it has not very much tire clearance.

Integrated shark fin on the chainstay...never seen this but lovely detail...looks an amazing frame. Very nice details like top tube seat tube enforcement...

Best part is the futura powder coating system, still like new and no rust, no wonder they gave a 20 year guarantee

I love the colours, I'm not a lover of pink but that's an exception. Hope the tour is going well.

Today is going to be interesting, severe weather warning of heavy rainfall with up to 150l/m² and at the end we have 350m elevation gain on just under 5km.
But it will be worth it.

Is more of a lilac, I think? Bit bright for my taste but I like a paint job that survives for 30 years.

The ad graphic design and layout reminds me of some late 80s diamondback material - could be the same agency, or maybe the style was typical in the mtb press?

Also what bike are you using for the tour?
