    Withdrawn 21” 80’s ATB f+f wanted

    Cheers for the pointer, I’ll keep digging. Tbh I’d consider another Montage in 21” - I have one in 19” and that rides really well, I’m 5’10” so the larger frame will be a better fit. 👍

    Withdrawn 21” 80’s ATB f+f wanted

    I’m talking about the bikes that Raleigh put out with the Tange Unique-X headsets like on my Montage: Thunder Road in tequila sunrise paint with the same headset: I know that you’ve been around mtb’s forever and I respect that but please don’t use a wanted ad to troll someone, especially if...

    Withdrawn 21” 80’s ATB f+f wanted

    I think Raleigh Ozarks, Thunder Road are 531 and 21.1mm, my 501 Montage is too. I had a late 80’s Orbit Frontier that was too.. I know it’s an obscure-ish size but I’m sure they’re out there.

    Withdrawn 21” 80’s ATB f+f wanted

    Bit of a niche one but I’d thought I’d put a post up to see if anyone can help. I’m looking for an 80’s mtb/atb in size 21”, it needs to take a 21.1mm quill stem - like a late 80’s Raleigh, or I know the Orbit frontiers did too. Reynolds 531 preferred or maybe 501? Has anyone got anything...

    Ex Ben Swift track bike

    Road bikes are not my usual thing but I thought I’d share this here: This was given to me by a good friend of mine who has given up track cycling and needed to clear space at home. I don’t know too much about it other than it was originally a track/training bike for Ben Swift. His nickname...

    1996 Mongoose IBOC pro sx

    This probably isn’t going to help but: All I can make out on mine is the 8 under where pro is stamped. Pretty sure these are powder coated from factory and it’s obscured the stamping pretty much. Sorry can’t help much here.. :)

    For Sale Job lot Campag + Arabesque

    I’ll let you know on the levers, if no one wants the whole lot I could potentially split. You might be right on the mechs actually now that you say it - I’m not 100%. Anyone else know?

    Carrera B52 - Fixing a Broken Heart

    I love the attention to detail you’re taking with this already, it wasn’t a half bad looking bike when I got it - I think with the work you’re putting in it will look stunning. The crankset you’ve chosen looks really nice and do I spy a race face headset? This was actually fitted with a 68mm bb...

    1996 Mongoose IBOC pro sx

    All finished now, I went with some dia-compe vc767 brakes and dp7 levers. Nothing too flash but they suit the build and seem to work well. Hopefully I’ll get out and ride this over the weekend and try it out properly.

    1996 Mongoose IBOC pro sx

    Made some good progress with this today. I’m trying to keep this light so that’s kind of steered me in a resto-mod direction. Carbon bars and seatpost and 1x9 with a sram xo rear mech. I’ll do a full spec list when it’s finished but it’s just the brakes to do now. I have a few choices but I’ll...

    1996 Mongoose IBOC pro sx

    I got this frame from @August Bicycles towards the end of last year, at a good price too (thanks Gav). It did have a small dent in the top tube which Gav filled with brazing before sending out. Screen grab from original ad. I shelved it for a good while waiting for better weather as I knew I’d...

    1985(ish) Mongoose ATB - might be a slow burner!

    https://ebay.us/m/9IRfRr Original seller has put it back on eBay now minus the fork if anyone else fancies it? Just not for me with the bent forks (they were what attracted me to it originally), but someone might want to grab it. I may have something else coming which the bullmoose bars and...

    For Sale 1997 Kona Cinder Cone frame - 16”

    Offering this up for sale, I built this up for my son who has now outgrown it. It has lots of small scuffs/chips etc, some paint touch up, cable rub on the headtube, but not nasty dents or anything. It’s a nice light steel frame and has served us very well. Asking £50 including uk postage.

    Any love for the old Carrera’s here?

    It’d be good if this went on to someone who really wants one. I got this off the original owner (he worked in the bikes section of Halfords as a teen) and he was a bit sad to see it go. The bike has been stripped down and I’ve got the parts I need, I’d happily sell on the...
