Apropos of the recent brakes poll http://www.retrobike.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=70125... In 1992 Hope released their first disk brake using a floating caliper and mechanical actuation. After a year of racing on the hose-clipped version I gave my 1991 GT Karakoram forks to Dave Yates who...

This is a top of the range Kore Elite stem from 1997. 140mm, with what looks like 10 degree rise. Used for a couple of years on the tandem then replaced with something shorted. My retrobikes either need quill stems, or something around the 110 mark so I've no use for it. It's certainly sat...

These were fitted to a bike I got in 2001. They've been lightly raced but I swapped them for some Race Face Turbines fairly sharpish. There is some scuffage to the ends of the crankarms, but they'll polish up nicely. 180mm Roox XC 5 arm cranks. Compact bolt circle diameter (94/58mm)...

Does anyone have any NEMBA results from 1992 to 1997, either as scans, or paper copies they are prepared to lend me to scan?

Something that is unique. A Turner tandem based on a Burner V-2 with a DH rocker, built for Interbike 1997. In the middle, towing a BOB trailer at Spring Polaris, 2000, in the Peak District*. It was fitted with Velocity Aeroheat Deep V rims at this point because it kept putting...

Well, the frames from 1996... One of the V-2 models made by Sportech in Corona, California. In a change from the 'concours' rebuild style of many bikes on here this one is kept reasonably up-to-date - it's fitted with stuff that works, and when that stuff breaks/wears out it's fitted...

Resprayed Anquetil blue by Bob Jackson (it's second respray), new decals under the lacquer. Mainly notable for the early Hope mechanical disks (beating Shimano splined mounts by years) which were integrated into the frame and the Kona Project 2 forks. No chainstay bridge. or granny...

Journo special in leopardskin (Herbold inspired ?) from the launch of SRAM ESP. Was surviving on it's second set of jockey wheel bearings until I crashed and landed on it at SITS 2004.

Currently built up as a left hand drive fixie: Need to ditch the V-brake on the front and get a matching LX canti to go with the rear. It was built in '93 as a geared frame and converted to Singlespeed (and resprayed Afrika Korps sand) in '96 by Guy Kesteven (now on What MTB I think)...

Bought as a frame only for a winter hack/commute bike a few years ago - hence the reflective stripes on forks and frame. The original handling was, frankly, barge like. The Pace RC-30s helped no end (though I still have the RM forks, natch). I never liked having a red inner ring. This is...

Custom built Donki's Nob: seat tube from a 16" model. Top tube from the 18" version. Dave also made the stem. Dave brazed mounts for Hope mechanical calipers on it too. I bought a pair for the bike but they didn't fit and I had to use the ones I bought in 1992 (from the second ever batch)...
