Thanks!! Your bike looks like an awesome ride! 1992 FTW! :mrgreen: I've been doing some more searching, and I think I've cleared some things up. It would be nice if any of you could confirm them though! 1. The fork - Is it an RS Mag 21? 2. The saddle - Is it a Selle San Marco Bontrager...

Re: Early 80s 10 spd Puch Mtb - Mountain Jet Now that is a proper retro looking mtb! :) I've seen Puch branded bikes at some super markets here in Sweden recently. I'd pick yours over them in a heartbeat! :mrgreen:

Re: 93 OCLV weightweenie Project I just read the entire thread. It'll be exciting to see this built up, and how much it will weigh... :)

I'm looking forward to seeing this built up! I went through the caustic soda experience with two frames this summer. It works really well, but I'd appreciate if I didn't have to do it again for quite some time! :)

That looks like a fun bike to ride in those awesome surroundings! Nice beer can in the second photo... did you have to make a second shim in the middle of the ride? :mrgreen:

That's a nice bike! Every titanium frame I've seen here so far has been beautiful!

Beautiful work! You guys on this forum have some insane bikes!

Thanks mate! Yeah, addictive is the word! :twisted: And cheers for clearing up the pronounciation! :mrgreen: :)

Re: I agree with everyone else... fantastic job! That frame is beautiful!

So, this tuesday I bought a Kona Explosif after wanting a Kona for quite some time. It's been ridden, hard. Which is probably a good thing, since that's what it was made for. However, this means that not much of the original kit is left. I've been using the search function like a madman, and...

Re: I use an old Bahco 15/17 (old enough to be made in Sweden) with fairly narrow ends. It helped me with a stubborn XT pedal earlier today.

Photographing this was harder than I thought... I don't know it it's any more clear now what I originally meant? Anyway, thanks a lot for your comments. I will definitely be using it. I'll just try to flatten the bump in the middle chain ring, and possibly file the teeth if they give me any...

Thanks everyone for the replies! I knew about the "ramps and pins" (if that's the proper terms), but thanks for clarifying with photos of the shark fin look! Good to know how I can hit it with a file if I have any problems. It was a bit hard to capture what I meant with "wear" in the photos, as...

Hi! New guy, and I hope I don't mess up first thing I do (hope this is the right place for this question)... I'm about to build an old bike (I'll make a proper post once I get going for real) this summer, and I've got most bits, but when I cleaned the crankset the other day I noticed how worn...
