I have to admit I was a fan of Susan back in time ;), but I do like at this advertisement in particular the smaller picture showing also Harry Leary, an BMX racer of the 70/80ties, but apparently not perfect in shape in the nineties any longer, at this time product manager at DB. He is going...

wow, very nice 😍 To me this looks pretty similar like the group at this pic here, according the information i do have from 1988

Ritchey has produced quite some variants of stems. Some with have a symmetrical clamp, like in the upper right corner in 1989 catalog, and the FD ones with clamp at the underside of the bar, black or polished, and also TIG-welded or Filet brazed. You seem to have one of the nicer fillet brazed...

Cool... Indeed not so hot shit like Kooka or Grafton and searched after, but still nice and lightweight custom brake lever for Cantilevers, sold roughly from 1995-98.

to me they look like Steinbach Superlight You may want to check the weight, they had been claimed to be just 63grams (or in the picture above from Bike Workshop 1998 just 48g!) for the pair

I love it 😍, it looks with that appealing colors and the very small size like a perfect base for a nice Kids bike. Can you please measure the size? To me the Hammer was available regularly just with 16" smallest size, this looks smaller. The components like SID and 4Arm BCD 104 Bontrager...

good question, I have neither an 93 nor 94 Dual Response, but found those bikes back in time very cool.... From your pictures and bike pics in the brochures, 94 looks in general like the 93 model just there is not just one model in 94, but two, the Dual Response and Dual Response CM (for...

Hi, ah, yes, i have the 96 Bike Market too ;) The red Kooka crank fits nicely to the titanium frame and red decals Apparently there had been over time quite a few different versions of that Titanium Hardtail sold from Wheeler. Some are called just Titanium (here with rider Walter Iten)...

Nice frame and a nice story or background! Thanks for sharing this. We've done a good job and found quite some old suff https://www.retrobike.co.uk/archive/categories/wheeler.347/ but indeed second half of nineties is still pretty missing. My understanding was so far that Wheeler has offered...

yeah, quite a lot of those nickel-plated bikes do have those, some do have meanwhile even quite massive corrosion at the area around bottom bracket. I think a regular lacquering is providing a better protection. Still smaller spots can still be just on the upper surface and you should give it a...

I can't provide a brand or model name, but maybe helping summarizing details. - It looks like a nickel-plated (often also called titanized or titan-finish) CroMo frame. Those had been offered by Marin, Scott, Diamond Back, Parkpre, Stevens, Maxx, CATs, Cycle Culture, Magni, Wheeler, Sunn...
