    What are your favourite bike buys of 2023?

    I've owned it for over 20 years. It's loud, fast and obnoxious ;) It needs some body work and some paint but I've been saying that for 20 yrs 😏 It has been litterly sitting in the garage since 2020. Last year I had to replace the fuel pump and battery because of that. I got it running again...

    Cannondale Killer V

    I like unusual frame designs. I'm thinking of grabbing this C-Dale Killer V bike rigid hardtail.as a new project. No Headshok. Has a Pepperoni Fork. Looks like a Coda crankset. Doesn't look like original shifters. A decent rider? Worth fixing up or breaking down for the parts? Definitely worth...

    1988(?) Muddy Fox Limited Edition Valuation?

    Thanks for the insight. I agree the market is soft for vintage (old) bikes even here in southern Nevada. I was more curious about value as a personal note. The seller is asking $150 USD. I have enough bikes but am always looking for unusual bikes for personal use and what I consider my keeper...

    Is a diamonback sorrento frameset worth building?

    I'm in the same situation. I have an 18" Sorrento Chro-moly frame sitting around.

    Give 3 Examples. Why Retrobikes are awesome

    Because each bike covers a different area of mountain biking, construction, and materials. My different style 3 would be 1. GT STS DH 2. Fisher CR-7 3. The Bike Beat (Ellison) Revolution

    Scott AT-4 Handlebars

    Scored a set of Scott AT-4 handlebars. These are the regular flat style not the Pro model. These are rare in my area. Are these still desirable? Yea or Nay on my Fisher CR-7 or my Revolution E-Stay

    What are your favourite bike buys of 2023?

    I guess my favorite retro bike buys of 2023 would be the Revolution E-Stay, Fisher CR-7 and the Fisher Aquila. I liked the color of the Aquila though it's faded on one side. My non-retro fave is the KHS XC 504R. Rides like a dream.
