Mine's on the waiting list; there are other bikes I need to finish first.I've been looking for the original fork, but I think it'll be mission impossible.On the other hand, I read the original Polish post, and I don't know where it said that they were pleased that a suspension fork had been...

Thank you for sharing these images with the catalog of the time.This information is certainly much better than nothing.

I think it's a very nice bike; that orange and white combination suits it very well. My frame came with a 27.2 silver Ritchey seatpost, and it may be the original, since in the image of Michael Schumacher with the Kastle model that corresponds to mine, the seatpost looks like the classic Ritchey...

What an incredible color, it's beautiful. 👍👍👏👏

I love Muddy Fox. I have fond memories of them, and I don't know why, I never had one. It's immaculate. I think you just found it in some forgotten store and bought it for BoTM! 🤣 Joking aside, it's beautiful, it looks brand new.

3!!! Awesome I think I'm just a 1st-grade beginner Padawan. 🤣 🤣 I really consider myself lucky to have found a unit in good condition and in my size. I'm missing some details (decals, etc.), but there's no rush; it's slowly being finished.

By the way, I pulled the red Michelin Wildgripper Hot tires in 2.1 out of the drawer for another project, but wow! I love how they look with the blue and yellow Spox tires. Maybe I'll put them on the Zaskar with the Betsy, they give a touch of the American flag (I guess I'd be really lucky to...

I didn't want to go on vacation without adjusting the measurements and testing it. I'll make the final wheels later. So I put on some tires, pedals, and off I went. It has a very high bottom bracket. Wow, that feels weird, I'll have to get used to it. The saddle is actually a board, stiffer...

Well, I've had some luck. Let's see, what's the percentage of chances of finding a red Ringle Moby Deux seatpost in 26.8? And of finding a Candy Red R-Seven? But I already had the R-Seven on a bike and didn't want to change it. I started looking for a new one, and a single-seat one appeared in...

and that bottom bracket?

Thanks for the tip. It's interesting to know Miche is still maintaining the tradition! But at my pace, they might last another 20 years. I have less strength than an anemic dragonfly. 😁

Quite a bit more uncomfortable, actually 🤣. I checked mine about 3 weeks ago and found it's not 110 BCD. A serious mistake. Fortunately, the chainrings are in good condition and will last a long time. Afterwards... Thanks for your input.

Today he came home to replace a broken crank on one of his bikes (he's leaving tonight on vacation; if he takes a little longer, he'd be pedaling with only his right leg for 15 days; he leaves everything to the last minute). I've already told him to dust it off and take a photo... or send me one...

There are some beautiful bikes, but let's get to it Sakae Litage NTH Campy performance (or something like that) 😁 by Obi-Juan https://www.retrobike.co.uk/threads/the-lite-age.492224/

This is what I was saying the other day: Brake levers have 3 positions for cable head placement, but brake cams also have 3 positions. This is going to be fun, too many options, half a year of testing and retesting is guaranteed. 🤣
