Hello MB, Sorry about the poor communication and slow shipment. It has been a crazy couple of weeks here. As Jeff noted, normally it would be better to order through SRP for deliveries in tre USA. Your order came during a time in which he was effectively sold out, and it wasn’t yet clear how...

That’s precisely where I picked up the FUN BIKE parts used on this build. Any theories regarding what I should now store inside the plastic briefcase in which the Simplex components were originally packaged? Lucien Charles Hippolyte Juy’s soul, perhaps? ;)

thekidmalone's 1992 Cycles Berthoud Submitted for your approval is a long term project of mine, which I finally made rideable over the winter, if not quite yet reaching my original goal of building un VTT avec 100% fabrication français. I discovered my personal breaking point whilst...

Re: Bonjour Bessa, Les couleurs de peinture et les lettres utilisées pour les logos indiquent que ce cadre a été fabriqué vers la fin de Cycles Ferraroli SA, probablement entre 1996 et 1998. Recherchez le numéro de série estampé sur la boîte de pédalier. Sur la plupart des Ferrarolis...

Re: Hi kj, There was an XTR equipped Axis Pro in the European Diamond Back range in 1992. http://www.velovintageagogo.com/t10677- ... s-pro-1992 Hope this helps! tkm

Re: A worthy tribute to our fallen friend Lars. Well done Al. It is amazing that it took me two years to bring the RIDER T1 tyres to production, but it appears to have happened just in time.

Re: Schwinn to win, although my choice is admittedly biased for several (good) reasons. ;)

Still coming, but slower than planned Hello everyone, Thanks for your interest in, and enthusiasm for, my RIDER T1 tyres. They are coming, but more slowly than I had hoped. With the dramatic reduction in global passenger plane flights recently, air freight capacity via couriers like DHL...

Re: Thanks guys, As a one man band, it's not always easy to play all the parts simultaneously. I appreciate your patience and support while I work behind the scenes to ensure all the blocks fall properly into place. Please understand that Terra One is a self-funded, start-up business. I will...

thekidmalone’s 1984 Saracen “Plated Gate” Hello all, Here’s my contribution for this month: big, bright and British, and built back when head tubes and seat tubes were long, and top tubes and seat posts short. Believe it or not, the seat post is raised slightly above the max height line, and...

Re: I‘m 1.86m tall, but have longer legs than average for my height. In the outdoor shots, the seat post is slightly above the maximum height line, but I was still not getting efficient leg extension.

Greetings everyone, I’m not sure how it ended up here in Switzerland, but I bought it from an online auction, described as a 1984 Scimitar mountain bike from GB. The seller knows more about vintage road racing bikes than I ever will, but didn’t make the connection I did between the names of the...

Re: I have a couple of Swiss-brazed bikes with Tange MTB stickers upon which the seat tubes were reamed to fit 27.0mm posts, but you shouldn’t have to worry about any size below 26.8mm on one of the Série / Prêt-à-Rouler models from 1990 on. Also, while it is common to find Swiss-brazed frames...

Re: Hello David, It should take a 26.8mm diameter seat post. Cheers, Terrance

Terra One RIDER T1 Status Update Hello everyone, Thanks for the interest in, and kind words about, my new Terra One brand, and its first product, the RIDER T1: a new tyre for our original, off-road legends. Here is a brief status update. Unfortunately, the first prototypes, which Guy and I...
