Re: cannondale decals hi sorry for the old revival of a post here on retrobike, just wondered if gil-m was still available by email or any means of contact as i can't seem to find him on retrobike. i have a cannondale beast of the east here for restoration it holds sentimental value to the 1st...

Re: cannondale resto i think the nukeproof ti hubs will make for a great addition to this build. i am myself restoring an m800 beast of the east at the moment, think i was lucky enough to buy it last week for £50 minus wheels, i wont hijack your thread im yet to start mine with pics, im looking...

curtis bikes by the way if anyone is wondering why the stolen to order buyer told me.. it was actually 2 yobs making the biggest mistake of not knowing that they were infact trying to sell my bikes to my very own brother who also lead them on very well thinking he was interested in stolen...

curtis collection hi all just a quick post i'm still here and i have been thinking of the curtis bikes i have... 18 years in my care, ( 4 last time i counted )as i've had a couple attempts of breaking in from pieces of scum, they failed! badly as i was told from the buyer (stolen to order)...

ringle hubs good question i`m not entirely sure on that, maybe i should check that out.. I have looked at a few things today and from what i see my best option for this is from betd they do the goldtech draco hubs and a 12mm axle adapter to suit the yeti dh9, they come at a price of £136 for...

measured i got the frame out earlier and measured it, looks to be 135mm but still unsure as it has a floating disk mount design built with the axle on the inside of the frame and that is about 20mm width on its own, what is a bolt on axle? that is a new 1 to me.. mine is what i would call bolt...

i`m having problems finding wheels for my 2004 yeti dh9 but want matching wheels because i`m fussy like that.. well the front is`nt a problem as its 20mm but the rear is 20mm too i have the reducer that takes it down to 12mm can`t remember if it is 135 or 150mm width axle, also want to fit 6bolt...

lobo not short of rear end spares then i suppose. i`ve always wanted 1, does the faulty seat stay/bottom bracket apply to the alloy version too just curious as i think i would steer away from the carbon 1`s

sts1000ds i have a nice example of this bike and it had pretty much the same set up same forks, hs33`s and it work well for me, the spec is diff now. although i did try to fit kevlar 2.3 tiogas on it, yes it was scrubbing on the back so i turned it upside down and took sandpaper to the side...

lobo i`d say the lobo is a classic now i have a 97 sts1000ds its a mint custom built example by myself. i have been looking for a lobo carbon or alloy for quite sum time, the frame preferably would be my starting point but due to the financial side of things (living etc) 1 always seems to pop...
