Very chic bike! I'll take part too.

Here is KayOs' 1994/98 Dyna Tech Torus XT(R).
I bought the frame from a donation project and then collected all the parts together. Now I mainly use it for multi-day MTB tours with the family.

1988 Brodie Climbmax

So, it’s official, I’m finally in the Brodie club 😁 🥳 The Brodie I was so fortunate to purchase was at our swap meet two Sundays ago but that day I was not in bike buying mode and somehow it did not sell either while being priced very reasonably (lucky me). I’ve always wanted a Brodie but...

I’ll try with my Lavoie. Pretty sure I’ve not entered it before. Here’s the original thread for it, more How-I-Found-It than a build thread but it gives you an idea of how it started. It’s the sister bike to the ‘Need For Speed’ article from MBUK around 1990. Frame number 18 made by Maurice Lavoie.

So confession time, I often lurk on here to absorb knowledge about bikes I'm building and don't contribute much. Most of my posts are image led and without my desktop computer and photoshop I can't share photos on this site. Adding photos here is a pain and they're so small that you can't see...
