    Wanted Specialized Mountain Cage

    Thanks, I’m not sure it’s that one. The ones in the link @winjohn posted have the SPECIALIZED logo on the side of the cage 😅 EDIT: yours looks like the road cage while the mountain cage is chunkier

    1988 Team Stumpjumper

    I know, I’d like to rip the dork disc off but it’s in such good conditions I just can’t do it…😅

    1988 Team Stumpjumper

    Thanks. Since you brought it up, I was wondering whether the crank bolts were original since the 88 catalogue shows the Browning crank. I should have some Deore caps somewhere, that might do as well…

    1988 Team Stumpjumper

    I can’t believe I finally managed to test ride it. I replaced the rim tape, new tubes and tyres. It still needs some tune up and a lot of polishing but it looks amazing to me! 🥳

    1993 TREK 8300 COMPOSITE

    Hi, I never posted about it but I recently got a 1992 TREK 8700 Composite in pretty poor conditions. So poor I’m still not sure I want to do something with it. The only good news is the seatpost’s missing, which is way better than a stuck one…

    1988 Team Stumpjumper

    …I’m working on the bike in the spare time to get ready for the aforementioned event. I cleaned it, degreased everything, lubricated what was meant to be (farewell greasy grips). I still have some fine tuning and polishing to do but I agree with most of you who suggested to keep the patina...

    Bianchi NTH (1990?)

    Thanks, I wish my NTH project was that far ahead. I’m focusing on my ‘88 Team Stumpjumper, then i will carefully tear it down and let a pro do some magic with the frame. Since you’re mentioning Dario Acquaroli, next week we’ll be celebrating him with the Vintage Ride MTB 👍🏼

    Bianchi NTH (1990?)

    I can’t believe how hard it is to find some information about Bianchi NTH bicycles. Has someone ever seen period catalogues?🤷‍♂️
