The project is 99% finished, just need a couple more decals to mimic greg herbolds signature stickerbomb style.

Funny, it almost seems there are more counterfeit than genuine ones around.

Funny, you are the third person telling me this. I think prices are running a bit crazy sometimes and take away the fun from the hobby. Altough I must admit that I put the forks up on ebay for 700 euro just to see what happens, I will still take 800 for the full bike.

Picked this up last sunday in almost oem spec, just tires and grips had been replaced. Seatpost was cut short, stem a bit rusty and the bar had lots of scratches. Replaced those and added a flite for comfort and looks. The answer alumilite gives the perfect amount of rise to make it a...

Bummer! Found a crack in the bb shell, is it always the same with these lightweight alloy frames or is it just me having bad luck? Well at least I only Just started sanding and have not wasted hours of sanding, more sanding, polishing and even more polishing 😜. This project is on hold for now...

Sorry but I cant work out the signature bit, is it a link to your build thread? aesthetics are worth something as well!

I am a little bit flexible, the overall look and feel of the bike should still be retro. For example I wont be using v brakes but modern parts like tires, maybe seatpost or bottom bracket are fine. I recently build a 3x mtb with a short cage and srp pivot bolt, might do the same for this one.

Lightweight tubes and tires are on their way, I might regret super lightweight tires (345gram!) But we will see if and how many punctures the they will have. Plastic pedals are too flimsy I think I should have a ti bb some where but dont know the size. Supposedly 9 speed chains work fine with...

Bb is a bb Un 71, cranks shimano deore lx m560 and so are the brakes/shifters. The project looks a whole lot different now as I found a much lighter frameset, a marin indian fire trail. Right now the total weight is just over 10 kg. Maybe I will reset my goal to sub 9 kg 🤪. the stem is not...

Late to the party 😉 Yes, it is an 21" It will probably be sold next week. I got contacted by an old khs distributor(79!) from the netherlands who's collecting old khs bikes. Sadly the bike was already reserved for someone else, hopefully that sale doesnt go through because I really Grant this...

These bar ends look like brodie love handles but I am not sure. They weigh 111 gram and 113 gram Total length 150mm L and R on the inside No logo's

While I almost finished my latest project: a beefy overbuild koga miyata which probably weighs in around 14 kg. I thought it would be nice to build something a tad lighter. I used to have a 1993 khs montana pro which has to be one of the better retro rides I have owned. About a year ago I...

Does it look as good from close up as in the picture? This definitely motivates me too get a bottle of this gun blue as well. Looks like a good method to refinish posts, stems, bars and maybe even frames.
