Hi there. It’s an 18’’ - I don’t have the original forks but it didn’t come with rigid ones - they were a clapped out Trek suspension that couldn’t be saved

Hello Retrobikers I'd appreciate your thoughts - I bought a lovely Trek 9800 a few years back, I hung it with XTR and put some nice Pace RC31s on it - but I dont use, its too small for me and I'd like to pass it to someone who will use it, or at least use the parts. The M900 isnt brand new but...

That looks amazing. So glad it went to a happy home

I totally agree Tooty, but my brother isnt confident maintaining it, so buying new and being able to know that its set up ok + can take it back for a tune up is a premium he would pay. Personally I'd happily pay half on eBay and tinker all evening to get it right. But if he is going to buy new...

Sorry chaps, its not retro - my brother needs a new bike for his son to cycle to school on. I was trying to direct him to an LBS that could sell him a Trek or Marin and not put the cash in Halfords ... but I dont know the local area. Anyone from around that way direct me / him to an independent...

This has now sold - via here, for 575. Thanks very much all for your enquiries - and reminisces about Gloucester bike shops!

It’s a 17.5 measuring from centre of cranks to top of seat tube

Just bumping this. Considering splitting if anyone wants parts

Coming on beautifully

Hi there This bike has given me much enjoyment - sourcing it, ambling around towpaths and generally talking about it - it was put (back)together by its original maker - Graham Foot. Its a pretty early early Bigfoot - serial number on the headtube is 4592 I would rather not just sell it for...

I have 3! These bikes were my childhood obsession. This looks like a lovely frame with absolute tat mounted on it

Thanks both, will reply to your PMs I suspect the other items aren't as valuable to forum inhabitants. If anyone wants just for postage let me know and I will pop them in the post.
