Although I like the yetis they regularly crop up on retrobike botm. Really like the newsboy for a bit of something different. Unfortunately, my heart always rules my head so its gotta be crantinopes cindercone for me. Love the paint of the early 90s ones.

maybe i picked the wrong month to post my bike pics given the awesome bikes in the running this month! Just finished my 95 cindercone restoration after a year in progress. I appreciate its not original - i've gone for original frame, forks and headset, but wanted a vibrant colour scheme and...

Ive just added this one to get my post count up. Sorry for the 'spam' guys.

Oops looks like I'm not allowed to vote until I've done 10th posts - bugger. Guess i'll have to keep my newbie opinions to myself until i've talked to a few more people. Nice bikes this month too. Oh well - next time.

Gotta be Chrisv40's e-stay Alpine Stars Cromega or mossy's GT avalanche for me. Can I vote for them both.......please? Nice to see the u-braked 88 speccy in there too.

does anyone have an unused vivid red magura hs33 tomac booster with the round holes in. £20 paid for a NOS or near mint one.

sugino impel cranks hamsters a great guy to deal with - cranks were exactly as described and were well packaged. And they arrived early! top stuff - cheers.

retrokona, I'm interested in your impact headset. Can you please send me a good picture of the headset bottom race (tho one for the fork crown) and its cup as most are now pitted or jerky in operation. Whats yours like for bearing race condition. cheers.

hi - dont mean to be pushy but might you get chance to have a look for the headset over the weekend. I know it might be just a feint glimmer of hope but i'm keeping my fingers crossed anyway. cheers.

impact headset if you still have the impact headset can you confirm if the lower bearing race is pitted or not please. I'd like dibs on this if its sound. thanks, Mr old skool.

Can anyone help with my 95 kona cindercone restoration. unfortunately when removing my impact headset, i damaged the bottom cup shell slightly and the alloy crown race on the fork. They were a supertight fit - (I have fitted and removed many headsets successfully over the years)- anyhow I now...
