Bought for parts for my kid's bike and the frame and seatpost are all that's left. 2010 I think. Not a bad bit of kit actually. A bit of wear as can be seen from the pics, but no actual damage. 19" frame. Takes 26" wheels. £35 collected from Northampton, or can be posted for extra cost (I'll...

Thanks for replies and messages everyone. I got one in the end. I found a Marin Mount Vision on ebay. Looking forward to us building it together.

I've another look at the X2 and it's growing on me. Sadly I've just re-measured, and it's slightly too big. If anyone's got similar, but smaller, please shout. Hen's teeth/rocking horse crap also accepted - I've a feeling they're more realistic 😢

Cheers. I've had a look and I'm not sure why, but it's just not doing it for me. Thanks anyway though.

So, my youngest wants to be like me, riding over bumpy terrain with impunity 😁. As such I'd like to swap his frame out for a full suspension one. Needs to be pretty tiny - 14" ish. He's got about 4" seatpost up on a 13" Spesh Hardrock at the moment. Ideally something old and uncool (therfore...

I don't know anything about them either. I think you're right and they're Trek specials. The bike wasn't exactly cheap, so I assume they're not bad. I'm afraid I wouldn't have a clue on the BB width. The rest of the bike is long gone (including the BB) so I can't check. If there are any...

Got these Icon cranks that came on my 2000 Klein Adroit Race. 175mm. Usual heel rub and could do with a polish. I'll take the rings off 'cos they're trashed. £20 posted.

Cheers. Starting to come to the same conclusion myself. Seal kits are looking rare and expensive (plus oil too) so perhaps it's time to write them off and replace.

Sorry, wrong section. Can someone please move?

I got a pair of Bomber All Mountain 4 forks used a while ago as part of an incomplete bike I bought, and just got around to putting them on my son's bike. They're circa 2006 I think and are open bath springs with air pre-load. They're horrible! Massive amounts of stiction, almost like they're...

This is why I love retrobike. I've found someone whose parts hoard is clealy so massive they've got 3 of a very specific part just lying around, and is also happy to be photographing and measuring at roughly midnight.😊 I'm genuinely impressed. The monarch has piqued my interest but depends what...

Rims sold.

It was. Ebayed it (not much love for post-Trek Kleins on here). Got collected this week. 🥲

Yeah go on then. I'll pm you.

Frame now sold. Still got the rest.
