Just a bit of clyde coast mooching for me this week with my 10 year old, hoping to discover more decent trails in the area over the coming months now that I'll be spending more time up here. Hoping to do callendar woods and carron valley in may when I'm next up.

Mate of mine built himself a deedar which rode quite nicely but replaced it with a tiktik frame a couple of months back which is a great little frame. Its a bit small for me being a medium but feels like a bmx compared to my 29er stiff squatch.

Looking for a rigid fork for a 19" orange gringo (99) - doesn't need to be original hence asking in the retro section. F7 would be great but also happy to consider others. 1 1/8", not threaded would be ideal. Thanks!

I'll have a look, cheers.

As title, Good condition gringo frame in yellow, some scratches / small chips but generally tidy used condition for a 21 year old frame. Comes fitted with an fsa 'the pig' headset and will also chuck in a pair of bomber supercomp 100mm (I think) forks that unfortunately have a bit of rust...

Current thinking is get 4-5 years out of this one and see how I feel... But I'll possibly go very dark then!

I've done it. It's over... Retro riding, at least for the foreseeable has been replaced with the big wheeled variants. I have been in and out of riding the last 20 years due to various injuries, work commitments, family commitments, life getting in the way... We all know how that goes...

Re: The main issue was strength, if they had adequate torque in them they started to delaminate, I suppose this could be avoided by printing them vertically but that has its own implications. Printing in abs would potentially help a lot as it is a physically stronger plastic but without...

Looking for a cheap 9spd rear to get my brothers bike rolling again, ideally deore quality or similar What have you got folks?

As title please folks. Looking for some gold hope spacers and a seatclamp to finish off my mates on one build. Many thanks.
