just think that chain rings are probably worth more than the crank set itself, therefore it could be of help to also check and document the BCD.

I think i have seen that one already somewhere. To me this doesn't look cheap. Especially the upper Monostay with Yoke looks really nice. Therefore I'm still hoping that someone here could provide a name or brand. Clearly not identical, but it reminds me a bit on this Bianchi NTH (not my pic)

yes, it's a 91 Fisher Cr-7, but not sure if this was sold in all markets. There was at least also a turquoise one 1991 too. Just for the color game, here is a link to the CR-7 color variants I've found in all the different catalogs...

I do have a Fuchs (but I'm also German, and quite regularly some do show up at Classifieds locally here), but we also have here at Retrobikes a few more fans and owner of Fuchs Bikes. e.g. the nice one from @JRGSXR https://www.retrobike.co.uk/threads/1990-fuchs-mtb.415412/post-3637612/ In our...

BTW: a bit late, but those Shimano labled brakes had been not a cheap model, but it was one of the last series of cantilever brakes sold by Shimano, late 90ties or even early Millenium for Cycle Cross bikes etc. called BR-R550. To me those even look pretty good (decals can be cleaned)

I had once a Gary Fisher Marlin from 96, bought the frame on ebay, and was thinking of using this for a kids-bike build as it was a small size with only 36 c-t-t height. Meanwhile it's sold again, same as I've bought it, for cheap money... I have liked a lot the nice green color, but the...

I had once a Hooger Patrol bike from 1995 which which was equipped from factory with the dark blue (you're calling it graphite) Ibeam stem on the left. Maybe this was an OEM version as it was just 105mm long, suprisingly short for that time. So it was available already in 95, but in general I do...

same here obviously similar to early RST suspension forks, RST 300 or 500 from 1991 and 92 Nicely documented here https://retroforksbike.pl/en/category/rst-en/ Some had been also sold via other brands like Ridgeback Just all of those had been listed as fluid damping and have been sold with...

Tektro Responsive Braking Power, RBP-872 is the official name

Beautiful bikes, both! 🤩 The "pro" model seems to be already a 1992 model, it shows up in a brochure which was sold at ebay a bit ago. I still have some but not very good and read-able pictures from the seller Also the fork looks style-wise like a bit of an Rockshox 1 copy, it's a "Dirt...

Not sure why this bike picture seem to be on many different Asian webpages, and I had even concerns if this isn't generated by AI. Color-wise it looks a bit suspicious. But on FB https://www.facebook.com/groups/1619889151613366/posts/4065404957061761/ there are some more detail pics, which look...

Hi, actually I've always thought only full-silver, silver-red, silver-black, and silver-blue (to me even rather a light blue than turquoise) had been available from Avid, but everything else - I'm sure here in the forum I have seen once even a pair in Rasta-color scheme - was rather anodized...

wow, thanks for letting us know. I'm sure the ladies do know this picture made it to the cover of the Shimano World volume 14 brochure in Summer 1988. I do like this pic a lot.

ach, I wouldn't generalize too much about it Look at this, I love this pic from @DesertRyder here in the forum 🤩 https://www.retrobike.co.uk/threads/new-addition-fisher-mtb.464097/post-3428434 In an ideal world you shouldn't have to be selective when it comes what get's into the garage and...
