I need to get myself a new helmet, and I'm confused about all the different styles available now. So, I wanted to see what other retrobikers are using these days?

I'd avoid using any paint strippers / solvents anywhere on any kind of UGLI forks. The legs are bonded (glued) into the crown, as is the steerer. On the Titanium version, the brake bosses are also bonded on (as Lucidone alreaday said) and I believe the dropouts are also. Even bead blasting could...

This 100 %. I run an RC36 on my 1994 Diablo.

I don't recall ever seeing a 1993 M Trax with suspension as an option, but I reckon if you'd asked they'd have specced an RS Quadra or an RS Mag 21 (?) or a PACE RC35. I always assumed the fact that their racing team, and some top end models, used front suspension meant the frames were at least...

My 1994 Dynatech Diablo still works for me. Granted, it's a bit sketchy on steep drop offs, the suspension can't deal with some bigger hits at high speed, but it's light and it makes me smile.

1. Ride more, as ordered by the doctor. Type 2 diabetes is a high risk for me now (genetics) so I have no excuses not to do tons of long rides. 2. No new bikes. Instead, finish off a couple of projects I've had on the go for way to long, and be more focused about it. Maybe 2026 could have 2 new...

Ooh, this looks interesting! PM on the way.

Thanks, but not really what I'm after.

Hi all, I'm after a cheap rigid MTB frame and forks from around 90-95 in a large size (21" or larger) with a 1-1/8 steerer. The condition only needs to be rideable and the brake bosses don't need to be usable since this'll be used on an indoor trainer. Postage would be to Portugal. The ideal...

4. Subtle two tone fade: 5. Something else cool:

Word up to the Retrobike Massif in the UK, and crews from all over the world, yo. Keep keeping it real and smashing the system, wherever you may be. I need some inspiration for choosing an awesome, 90s-inspired paint job for my neo retro Salsa El Mariachi 29er steel frame. The bike currently...

Thanks for the reply, I appreciate it! I'll deifnitely look into Sandisk Clip Sport Plus.

I'll get straight to the point: I've discovered listening to retro happy hardcore lets me ride harder without feeling like I'm riding hard (oo err). So I need to out a sensible music arrangement on the bike. For you reprobates who also partake in musical doping, what kit do you use? I'm thinking...

What's odd is the MT4 / Ogre and the MT3 / Diablo both have the 2125 sticker, but the MT4 / Ogre had Ti chainstays and dropouts, and Mn Mo seat stays, while the MT3 / Diablo had cromo stays.

I just went and checked the receipt and other documents that the previous owner included when i bought the bike, but this one doesn't seem to be the same one, unfortunately. This was bought from Chesterfield Bicycle Centre in 93. The colour is amazing, probably one of the best ever used by RSP...
