    Saddles - what else is there apart from Flites/Selle Italia that are cool/retro/

    I had a Titec Berserker on my 2001 GT iDrive 6.0 for some time, a very comfy saddle, though a bit heavy compared a Flite Titanium, lol

    Some Retrobikes passing through Bikeworkshop in Bristol

    Thank you for sharing this Dawes catalogue, which actually confirms the year I bought my Dawes Tracker (see page 7), I thought I bought it in 1988, but that was not correct. 🫣

    Saddles - what else is there apart from Flites/Selle Italia that are cool/retro/

    I am partial to San Marco Regal and it's derivatives, be it Viscount or Velo branded saddles based on the same design. They look good and are comfy too, with the original saddle fitted to my '91 GT Avalanche being my favourite! However, I have two of my current GT's fitted with Flites which I...

    Seized screw in GT 2x4 forks, advice requested.

    Hello all. I have just received a couple of parts today, getting closer to the complete collection of parts for this build. Today I got a 135mm GT Flipflop stem and a GT True Temper seatpost, which according to the seller came off a 1991 Zaskar... Yesterday I received a set of Shimano XT...

    Seatposts

    I have only ever had one bike where I used a shim, which was my 1993 GT Zaskar. At the time I had a U.S.E green anodised seatpost (with matching handlebars) which was too small a diameter for the Zaskar so I got a shim to fit. Since then I have learned that it isn't really worth wrecking your...

    Mystery bike. Trying to identify.

    I remember a friend who bought a similar type of bike and was showing it off to me, he said I could have a go too, so I did. Never again, it felt like riding a pogo stick that lost its spring, and i gave it back to my friend.... so i watched him ride away jumping off curb and bottoming out...
