    Anyone ever heard of Salewa gear?

    Excellent climbing gear back in the day! Had a couple of different sets of crampons, and all manner of other Salewa products back in the early 80s ;-)

    What’s the one bike you really want but cant find, etc

    Re: An early Merlin with the rear brakes at the bottom bracket. If I found one I would have Steve Potts make a type 2 fork for it (for roller cam brakes), and then I could die happily :D Chris

    the unofficially cool MTB drop bar thread

    Honestly, the stem is slammed all the way to the bottom of the steer tube! I'm considering cutting off a bunch of it.... I compared it to some of my "long" Nitto Technomics stems, and it is much longer? For what it's worth, I'm a stickler for "minimum insertion marks"! Cheers!

    the unofficially cool MTB drop bar thread

    Re: So I am in the middle of dialing this in. It's a Research Dynamics Coyote 3. It is built up with a mix of XT and LX. The bars are Specialized BB-1 with an 8cm Nitto Dirt Drop stem,Tectro brakes, Shimano Levers. Cheers, Chris IMG_20170810_192913450 by Chris Wilson, on Flickr...

    I would like to see a whole lot more of this bike! (And maybe a story about it too :wink: ). Chris

    Show us your Scott!!

    New guy here. Picked this "Wind River" up the other day. I'm fairly sure it's an 88'. It is equipped with Suntour XC 9000 components. I have searched the internet, and haven't seen any others like it? Anyone have a clue about this particular model? Thanks! Chris IMG_20170603_144137348 by Chris...
