That looks like it👍🏻

Sorry my description was pretty shit! It’s 1990s, 26” wheels, cantilever brakes, metalic green, looks like Shimano Group set

Someone at work has left a Gary Fisher in the bike shed for weeks, according to another cyclist he’s bought a new bike. I’m thinking of putting a note on it asking if it’s for sale. However I have no idea what it’s worth…. I don’t want to take a pic in case it looks like I’m doing something...

The paint is really textured and the decals are just sitting on top without any clear coat. Is that right? Or is this a copy bike!🧐

I have the opportunity to pick up a Marin. It says Eldridge on the frame but I can’t find one this colour. Google lens says it’s a Pine Mountain.

I’m trying to fit a 42 tooth cassette onto my bike with a Shimano Deore DX derailer. Is there a way of extending the hanger or do I just need a new derailer?

Has anyone seen this before, I’m just stripping a wheel to service it and the bearings are different sizes?

This bike isn’t even mine! It’s my friends, he hasn’t ridden it for about 15 years. He just had it it laying around in the garage.

Thanks for the help, I removed it using the Stanley blades and installed it with some plastic pipe.

I just got a magnifying app and I can see what I have to do now👍🏻👍🏻

The suspension forks are the ones I have removed as they are shot, the black Kona forks are the ones I want to fit, so it’s possible to swap the races? I can’t even see a gap between them and the fork! I really need glasses!

Once again I’m out of my depth and needing help! My friend has asked me to change his forks from his Orange P7 to some Kona Project 2. The fork just had a nylon washer between it and the bottom cup, these seem to have a race built in? Any help will be massively appreciated.

It has rusty old suspension forks, my friend just wants to go rigid

I should have been clearer. What I’m looking for is so hard to find! I’ve seen some on Aliexpress for £35 but don’t really want to go down that route. I guess I could convert the front to disc but then that’s a whole load of money. Or just run back brake 😏

Can you get those with cantilever bosses?
