Hello, Look for a Bontrager Race quill Stem in 120mm max and for 1” steerer (22,2) Possible to trade with a longer one (130mm 1”) 😀

Vidéo from Vélovert, French mtb magazine

Hello,Last weekend took place the second edition of the Trophy, our "continental Malvern meeting.One week before the Roc d'Azur, 60 retrobikers on bikes from 1982 to 2005, riding on Côte d'Azur tracks. Some little races like DH, XC and trial and some international guests as Mr Ferraroli (swiss...

Simple and Brilliant !

And 25”…. This strange diameter was in the mind for some DH bike designer in the mid 90. But, I don’t know if Those wheels were really tested

Not a mtb but Sunn began with BMX Here’s my 1997 LeCoupé full catalog with DiaCompe, Mavic, Avid, Profile… and some Brute parts you could find on MTB

1987 Araya

1999 Merlin Fat Ti, last Somerville production…
