Re: I was sure I had seen it somewhere. It was in a glass cabinet at Stif on the left as you came in the door. About 1995

Re: Similar but not the same as this?

Looks better than new. Have you sourced decals?

The Giant website is a great resource: http://archive.giant-bicycles.com/it/03 ... 9&range=23 You can see the frame/bike there. I still have my 890 although just the frame. It's last build up looked like this Horrible I know!!

Like this, which was my team bike in 1999, the 1998 one have much smaller diameter tubes.

(cough)1999(/cough) You can tell by the paintjob, decals and shock position. Before 1999 it was know as the ATX900 as a frame or 990 as a complete bike.

Looks great, more like 20.5" frame.. I think the Spins look great, HED would be better but really really nice

The X-Lite post is the only one I ever had fail completely in all the time I have been riding. I've ridden Campag Carbon posts on mountain bikes without any problems i'm pretty light on them. the 360 post failed where the clamp (Purple of course) was pressed/bonded. I had it fitted to my...

Anyone here got an Orange E3 team with Girvin forks and Hope disks? circa 1995/1996.

I have one on my Pace and although I would like everything to be period I can ride with the confidence it is.t going to break. The only thing that might convince me to change would be a perfect Syncros. ALl the period posts I ride from UK manufactures looked lovely but were not reliable.

You could have bought a car for that!

I have a few pairs of Pace forks and I am trying to work out the best home for each of them. 1. RC31 420mm with Radiator crown 1 1/8" 2. RC31 440mm 1 1/8" 3. RC31 Ti 440mm 1" 4. RC30 1989 390mm 1 1/8" 5. RC35 MXCD 1" Pair 1. were fitted to my Ferrous singlespeed which I now want to...

I recall the Guiness Book of records back then said the most expensive bike was manufactured by Stif, which I believe was a complete bike based around a Merlin frame. It was called the Flipper. I think it had Pace forks and Paul Mechs etc
