Re: Just picked one up that I think is a ‘94. Xt throughout except for the brake levers and grip shift.

Re: Wow!! Exceptional work here. Is the frame painted? Where did you find decals for it?

Re: This was found in the recently melted streets of Winnipeg, Canada.

Re: Driveside is decent, going to try and source a non driveside and put it back together.

Re: Whats left of crank arm, and ultimate machine titanium BB?

Re: Are Brodies recyclable? So far i've stripped it down, barely got the BB and stem out. Rear brake cable did not want to slide through the cable guide without some force. What would be a good pre-paint treatment to the frame for rust? Does anyone recognize the crankset? Non driveside arm...

Driving home last night (garbage day the next day), i noticed a bike frame leaning up against a recycling bin. Wouldn't have looked twice if it wasn't for the "b" decal from the fork glowing under a ray of street-light. I ran over with an intense paramedic-like reaction to save what would have...

Miyatas are always a good value for the money. Should be able to get a nice 914 or so for that price.

I'm currently in need of a rebuild on XC 600 however i've been informed by marzocchiworkshop.blogspot.ca that the seals can no longer be obtained. Marzocchi themselves have recommended I "put the fork to pasture and replace with a new Marzocchi fork". I really want to get this back up and...

Thank you! It is a 20" frame, would that be an ok size for someone that is 6'0 tall?

Whats a decent price for a 93' kona hei hei frame? I found one i like but they seem to be rather hard to find and cant find a comparable price. Overall condition is good but no fork.

I had a set that came on my girlfriends pink trail rider. They rode really nice! is what she said..
