    Aero Garbage Wind Resistant a lie

    Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and all. The Diamondback Andean. Possibly the first time this has ever graced Retrobike. Did anyone discuss how much additional benefit there is to aero in a 20mph head wind?

    GT Avalanche - ´97 or ´98 ?

    The forks are 1999 model, the Shimano components are 1999 or 2000 era (check the date stamp for those), and the frame number isn't a GT format I recognise. Would start S7 or S8 for 1997 or 1998 though. @kingoffootball will be along soon...

    Need Nukeproof Generator front hub caps 20mm

    Are we talking modern CRC/Wiggle Nukeproof, or the old carbon mid 90s hubs?

    Orange EVO 4 geo required

    If you have an Evo 4 in your hands, the frame number would put a fairly precise date on it for you - and I can add it to my records.

    Picture request Coyote Ultralight ht2

    There appear to be two models of HT2, one with round chain/seat stays, like pictured above, and one with box section stays and forged/CNC yokes. Possibly different manufacturers, frame numbers would help.

    Picture request Coyote Ultralight ht2

    I suspect the logos are the same on other models. Is that your bike in the picture? You could compare it to the logos on my DH or F2, they're both 1997 built frames. Both shown here https://www.retrobike.co.uk/threads/coyote-dh.421541/ What's the frame number on yours? That should give you a...

    Specialised FST Comp

    Mavic D521's are designed for rim brakes, so no worries there. Leave the hubs, you might want to upgrade to disc brakes later on.

    Mantis Pro Floater 1992/1993 ??

    I've not come across a Mantis before. Despite scrutinising the photos, it looks like a standard single pivot swingarm. Care to elaborate? The shock and upper link are very much in the style of an Amp B3, but is there some clever trickery with the swingarm?

    Show us your 700C ATB / MTB / Hybrid

    I'm assuming @baron von greenback means 700c not 27" - @MattiThundrrr the diameter difference is 8mm, but your diagram makes the difference look bigger as all wheels are 'on the floor', in terms of the brake track, they're only 4mm different

    Show us your 700C ATB / MTB / Hybrid

    700c wheel should fit in a 26" fork. Will be fine with a smaller road tyre. You probably won't ft a MTB tyre though.

    1992 GT Pantera AL - rough but saved!

    I'm assuming these are Hodaka built frames. Any chance you have the frame numbers? @kingoffootball I'm sure would also be interested.
