I need a range of gears. Something that can handle hills but still go to the higher gears on the road. I have a Kona Sutra and am happy with a bike that has versatility. I will be likely replacing and old 21 speed for a new one. Particularly on the beat up hardrock as it has a mixture of parts...

I am fairly new to all of this. I recently picked up an old Trek 850 which I stripped and rebuilt replacing most of the consumables and got it back out on the road. I have now bought not one but two specialized Hardrocks. One 1991 pink hardrock that is mueseum condition and an knocked about 92...

I have an old Trek 850 I am doing up. It is my first build and I am learning all the time. What do you guys do about wheels & tyres? I want to get some new ones but don't want to spend a fortune. Tyres look easy enough to source but 26" MTB wheel sets seems to be another matter. Would love...

Ah yes I see what you mean. Just checked other photos and does indeed look like 3 holes and some way off the large chainring. That'll be the first job.

I am not sure - it's on it's way to me currently. I bought it online. What makes you say that? (I am new to all of this) Thanks for giving me that link.

Hi there, what size is the frame?
