I haven't built much on the bike, but since there were a few questions, here's a little thread about it. Centurion is a brand of Nowack Radsport-Vertrieb, founded in 1976 in Magstadt, Baden-Württemberg, by Wolfgang Renner. In addition to racing bikes and later BMX bikes, Centurion launched the...

Hi guys, I think it's a good idea to start a build thread here, or rather a restoration thread. If I'm wrong and it's not interesting or this is the wrong place the thread will just disappear into oblivion or could be deleted. I'm supposed to get this Cratoni Maximum fit again. It's seen a...

Hi folks, I'm looking for a dust cap for a Suntour XC II pedal so if you have one that you don't need anymore please let me know. I already tried the MKS ones but they don't fit as they have a smaller diameter.

I'm starting a thread about this bike because I think it's cool enough to get one, even though I've already posted a few pictures in the Kuwahara thread. Recently I got an alert from my smartphone that a Kuwahara Lion was for sale. I took a closer look and the offer was too good not to take. So...

As the weather is really bad at the moment, with drizzle and black ice, and I'm still waiting for parts for another project, I thought I'd post another build thread. Maybe someone will be interested. It's been a while since I spotted this GT on my way to the office. The sign says "To give...

I think the bike deserves it's own little build thread. So what's it about? I discovered an offer on ebay by chance a few months ago and thought it was a joke at first... "Old 26 inch Mountainbike Brodie" But my curiosity was piqued, so after a brief and very friendly and informative email...

We have the "todays ride", the "cockpit views", the "street art" and the "bikes and bridges" thread and I love them all because they are a wonderful window to the world for me, you guys always post places I'd like to see myself and one always learns a thing or two. So I thought how about bikes...

Something happened to me that I thought was impossible. I couldn't believe it. Some days ago I discovered an Offroad Toad in the local classifieds.....insanely good price, not even an hour online, less than 5 views and after a few really nice messages with the seller and some chit chat about...

I've made something again, or rather I'm still working on it... It all started with gardening, a fire bowl, stick bread and a few beers. My wife obviously listened carefully when a couple of mates and I were chatting about the suitability of wood and bamboo for bicycle frames and I mentioned...

As requested, here is the build thread to my HWE Rex. It all started about 20 years ago when I found a bike in a scrap container at my former company. It was old but it worked perfectly. I wanted to build it up as a Klunker or Tracker but unfortunately the frame didn't have room for fat tyres...

Hello folks, thanks to a hint from @STX-RC II and with the help of @Guinessisgoodforyou and @bagpuss it finally happened. Yesterday I had this in the mail. So thanks a lot mates! I've been looking for a frame like this for about 10 years and it's finally here. The condition could be nicer...

Since the old thread could not be restored and no one really knew which pictures fit here (not even me really) I have now recreated the thread. The confusion has resulted in some great photos. So here we go again.....

From Germany: Shimano Dura Ace ax crankset 170mm crank arm length including Shimano 600 ax pedals and BB 7400 bottom bracket with 114mm axle length. It's all just roughly cleaned, condition is good in my opinion but look at the pictures. All together for 100€ plus shipping. If you are interested...

From Germany: 1995 Marzocchi CX700 in pretty good condition the decals are slightly damaged no pressure loss, no oil leaking 180mm 1 1/8" steerer tube including Tioga Alchemy headset 150€ without headset 100€. If you have any questions please contact me.

I am curious if and with what you go on shorter trips or longer tours. It doesn't matter whether it's on asphalt, forest paths or single trails. I myself started with borrowed bags on my daily driver (wich got stolen) and now look every time what I should take for the next trip. That's why I'm...

I recently stumbled across this bike on the net and couldn't resist. The condition is visually pitiful. Technically less bad but also far from good. The left crank and pedal are completely missing, the rest is so dirty that nothing works anymore. The paint and decals are beyond repair but...

Since my girlfriend's old Peugeot drove like an anchor, a replacement was needed. It had to be green, preferably neon green, able to carry the shopping, not too expensive and unattractive enough not to be stolen in the city. Since I couldn't find a ready-made bike like this anywhere and wanted...

I found this bike on ebay and thought it would be just right as a city bike. I've always wanted a Specialized and this was almost free. It was all original and nothing really seemed broken. As it turned out, it wasn't... I didn't want to buy new parts so I dug through the parts box and...
