Re: Re: Thanks, could you see if the size and position matches your "dent" - curious to know? and excuse my uneducated guess but what purpose would it have other than to weaken the tube...

Re: City Jets are here, bike weighs the same but looks much lighter now...

Re: As an update I decided to spend some time with this Tech and make it my new short-range commuter - but before came the guesswork: as my first proper bike in 1995 was a STX-RC equipped Marin I always thought STX-RC equals 7-speed and counting seven sprockets on the Tech I was set to go. Not...

Re: Me, too - 20 € for a pair from bike24.com :D

Re: Beautiful bike! They are definitely lighter in colour than Road Cruisers, I like them. Those are the 1.95 versions, right?

Re: Re: Thanks, I Just ordered them in 2.0 (a no-brainer at 1/3 the price of the Panaracers)! I knew that Schwalbe had some options as I put Road Cruisers 1.75 in gumwall on my girlfriends Dutch/cargo bike some time ago but I'm neither a fan of their tread nor their looks. The City Jet was new...

Re: Thanks, it's bonded aluminium, viewtopic.php?t=10815 Handling is snappy and direct, the ride feeling is quite different to my other bikes (most of which have 90s Tange steel frames), but I haven't spend enough time in the saddle yet to describe this difference in a meaningful way...

The last one of my summer "trilogy", I know these Sakae Litage frames have been covered here but I thought I share this particular version. The frame has a dirty little secret though - quite a dent in the non-driveside chainstay but no cracks so I guess it'll be fine. Other than that it's in...

Re: Thanks guys, the frame is indeed on the large size for my just below 180cm (52cm seat tube with 54cm TT) but makes for a very comfortable ride. As for skinwall tyres I found Maxxis DTH and Compass Rat Trap in 26", but after digging out some old Ritchey Tom Slicks from the basement for...

Re: Thanks, agreed on both, though I actually like the saddle, it's an Italian made Iscaselle that looks like a good fit, maybe even stock. Agree on the tyres, too. The Big Bens in 2.15in sat here unused and untried, functionally they're great and ideal for 99% for what this bike will see -...

Hi, this was the second freebie I was given lately. As we know Austrian company Simplon is still around, to me this one looks late 80s. I originally planned to pass on the frame and use the parts for something else. Only when stripping it down I realized it had semi-horizontal dropouts, so...

Hi, picked this one up last week in western Austria (bought one Bianchi and got this and a Simplon for free), nothing special but an interesting find as I didn't even know the existence of this brand. turns out little info is available though viewtopic.php?f=1&t=92037 probably one of the last...

Re: Hi, Just joined to share my excitement after finishing what seems to be a 1995 Rockhopper FS (can't find it in the catalogues, though), together now with my 1992 Stumpjumper Comp. Fitted moon bars with 20+ degree backsweep on both to tame down the geometry. Had Conti Mountain Kings in 2.2...
