Hey- assuming these are long gone in 2022. But, would these be appropriate for regular (90s mtb) handlebar and which way would they have been installed. Saw a grey pair on eBay and was considering…. Way over priced though.

Thanks for the input everyone!

What’s everyone’s favorite “new” grips for retro mtb builds?

Yes! Also, I sure regret letting the shop take my original manitou threes and headset when they put this rigid fork on. It was several years ago and at the time I was told there was no way to get replacement parts. Now I know that the headset could be key to 163 mm threaded steerer fitting. Plus...

Thanks - "spares support" is exactly why my preference would be to find a rigid fork but I will look at those. I guess another benefit would be that steerer would be interchangeable? Steerer length and type seems to be the biggest challenge. I actually found a threadless p2 at a local shop the...

Hi retro experts - I already have another post on MTB Wanted looking for a threaded P2 to put on my 95 Cinder cone. Had a few replies but then silence.... I'll admit that when I first got a hankering to correct the fork on my old bike I had no idea it would be such a challenge to find the right...

Well… looks like The hunt is still on…

Hi Roy, you still going to post pics?

Hey Roy, I would definitely be interested! Looking forward to pics. Still not giving up on @ozimmerman… Do you (or does anyone) know if there was any significant difference between ‘92 and ‘95? Both would be 1 1/8 diameter?

Hey @ozimmerman, any idea when you might know if this is going to work out? No rush - just want to know if I need to keep looking or not and what the timeline might be. Also just learned that I am about 25 posts away from being able to message you privately - not sure exactly how that works.

Had the bike out yesterday - thought I would snap a pic to share what I am trying to replace!

Sounds good - much appreciated!

That would be great! Awesome that you get to pass on your bike to your son! Do you plan to keep the original headset? If you are planning on changing and it is in decent shape I would be interested in that as well!

Hi, I've got a 95 Kona Cinder Cone that I've been riding since high school. It went through a commuter phase for several years but now I am trying to put it back in mountain biking mode (mid life crisis) and I am looking for a project 2 fork with the right length steering tube. I live in the...
