Bought this recently from a guy in Colorado.. can't seem to find any info on it. It used to be neon green at one point, and has a bunch of crazy features, that's all I know

I was lucky enough to purchase this yesterday from the original owner, former Ritchey team member Jim Sullivan. I have owned two other tandems including a nice Burley and this one blows it away in both ride quality and of course craftsmanship. It doesn't hurt that it's my favorite color too...

Hey folks I saw this DBR Axis TT for sale recently and a few things caught my eye as strange, and was wondering what you guys thought. Firstly, the biggest thing is the frame is painted. I thought all Axis TTs were unpainted and came in either satin or polished finished. Second, the rear...

Recently picked up this 1990 Trek 8900 Composite as a frameset. I had previously owned an 8300 composite which I sold recently, telling myself i would replace it with a neon Trek Composite if the chance ever came up. The frame is carbon main tubes bonded to aluminum lugs and stays. The ride...

I've got a Marzocchi XCR fork in decent cosmetic condition. Appears to need a rebuild. Also includes 1" threadless steerer with headset and stem is this worth anything to anybody? seems like a cool old school fork but I don't know how to rebuild it

I'm the proud new owner of some nice turquoise hubs, but the rear feels a little rough when i turn it. Does anyone have any info on how to service this hub? I see a retaining ring inside the freehub body area but no other obvious ways to get inside. I read that it's a cartridge bearing.. are...

I picked up a 1993 DBR Axis TT a month or two back. Originally came with an aftermarket carbon fork which was the wrong size for the frame I was lucky enough to find a super light steel fork to replace the carbon one.. the steel fork actually ended up being lighter than the carbon fork by...

I'm almost done putting together my Axis TT and I can tell the fork that it came with is too long.. just sitting on the bike and moving the handle bars I get massive wheel flop, and the whole bike looks like its tilted back. The fork it came with is an "Exotic" branded carbon fork, appears to...

I'm interested in installing a modern 2 piece crankset on my DB Axis TT (mostly to save weight) but I most of them kinda seem like they are too modern looking can anyone recommend a nice two piece crank that would look good on an early 90s mtb? I'd prefer 110bcd 175mm

Hey Retrobikers... I need your advice. I'm interested in a Ti MTB, and right now there are TWO options available to me locally. First is an unknown Ti frame, fully built bike with Cook Bros cranks, sram 9.0 RD, deore xt Fd, and some other good quality parts. Guy is asking $450. The other...

1993 Trek 8300 Composite (Carbon main tubes, aluminum lugs and stays, steel fork) Suntour XC Comp derailleurs and crankset, XC Expert brakes and hubs. Mostly original.. the shifters have been replaced with low end grip shifters unfortunately though. My first bike that doesn't have...

Snagged this Jamis Dakar Comp yesterday from the original owner.. mix of Deore XT and Deore, Tange Prestige MTB frame with a Tange MTB fork. Seat post is Suntour XC, stem is Ritchey Force. I'm guessing on the year but SLR brakes and 7speed SIS with hyperglide didn't come out until 1989 model...

I saw this Univega listed for $80 the same day I had just come home with another bike, and initially I wasn't that interested. It had the same component level as the bike I had just picked up, and I couldn't tell which model it was. I didn't need another bike, I had just bought one! And...

I had been watching this bike on Craigslist for a month. The seller initially was asking $350 but were listing the bike as a 1994 model. I knew it was never going to sell for that much, and I was right, as over time the price fell significantly. Yesterday the price dropped to $150 and a...

So, from my research on Diamondback MTBs, it seems they came out with the Ridge Runner in 82/83. In 1984, DB had a small line of MTBs with various "Streak" names.. the Ridge Runner was renamed the "Mean Streak" and the Trail Streak and Sand Streak were also offered. (see 1984 Diamondback...

Hey Retrobikers.. newbie to this forum but a big 80s Diamondback / Centurion fan here.. I'm interested in picking up a 1989 diamondback Apex.. it's got one of those super straight forks though... I'm thinking it might end up rattling my fillings out. I know the Axis and the Apex both had...
