Fleet Engineers custom MTB

[Rampage]

I outed this on here from ebay as I quite liked it. In the end I bought it myself.

If was built be Fleet Engineers in County Durham around 1995. Several well known frame builders worked there including Kevin Winter & Graeme Tutin. I don't know who built this frame, but after speaking to Kevin Winter - it wasn't him.

The previous owner says it is made of Columbus tubing.

More later......

Some c**t pressed the BIN.

So it was you !

Looking forward to finding out about the bike, especially with origins so close to me .

what a c**t!



Intriguing, so it's a hand-built frame, probably out of Columbus tubing? Sounds quite tasty! It's got that mid-90's XC racer look about it. What's not to like!?

So this is looking like a resprayed Carrera Infinity now! I still quite like it thought.

Only things I'm doing to it are:
Red Grafton Finger canti hangers,
removing the brake boosters,
Find a single red Ritchey brake pad to match the other three,
Removing the bar ends,
New longer seatpost which will be anodised to match the frame,
Ringle bottle cage also anodised to match the frame,
Changing the tyres to skinwalls.

Gears seem good with no wear so just going to change the cables.

Couple of new parts for it.
Red Grafton Fingers.
Seatpost with a red fade to match the frame.

Also a choice of forks.
I was hoping to fit the Rond forks, but the colour doesn't really match. The Bombers colour match quite well but the legs are a birth thick to match the thin frame.
