Still in the headset though😪

There was a fashion for complex dh- style bikes in the late 90s by catalogue brands, some ran into the 2000s. You'll often find the same frame with a variety of stickers on. It's kind of fun and historic, but need a strong dash of irony👍

https://ebay.us/m/XO3IfT That could be you! With a stack of British Beauties on the flatbed there!🥰

I will ask him - I'm not sure he was unleashed on the front counter often though - the workshop was through the door at the back in those days, the mechanics and sales staff were different iirc

About £15 to post to usa. No probs if you need it. You might find because it's French the only 25.0 posts came in to the country were already fitted into bikes. Tarrifs iirc😉 Canada might be different?

More impetus to reanimate the Mektronic. When it will be truly hypnotic. It would be leant up in the shop people would just stand there looking gawping, saying "Really? I dont believe it!"

"Bike" was the bristol dealer, and the frame has their sticker on it. Andy and his fellow setup mechanics put the stickers in subtly different locations on the frame, to identify their own work. 👌

Another marin - they have survived well Interestingly this was set up and sold new by my colleague Andy when he worked at the now- defunct "Bike Bristol" c1994? Sold twice by us since 2000😃 In the back there, surely the final pair of those cantis with the grey spring retainers? Looks like the...

It was a working bike components get worn out. It's currently got almost-worn-out Sora gears In fact I'm restoring the Mektronic i had on it years ago, but became unreliable after 5000 miles commuting in all weathers. That's black too, And looks unbelievably cool😎

Looks like it's from a vitus: £12 plus £5 p&p

I've found the catalogue on Mombat: Mine's a 1994 "classic" I've owned it for 2/3 of its life😍 They didn't make many with sloping dropouts, even from 1988, but European racers are resistant to change. By the late 90s vertical drops were normal in a pro race

Doesn't the post with the grubscrew setting have a flat b strip on the back? A common problem with these is when you replace the saddle, the rail to top difference, or indeed the give in the saddle base, causes you to want to move the saddle 2mm, but the grubscrew just finds its way back into...

I agree with the sentiment, but I don't think good cycle behaviour helps the "sorry mate I didn't see you" which is probably the most dangerous driver. The e- scooters and illegal deliveroo stylie e-bikes are so random and chaotic in Bristol now that they are the new hate objects. With...

I believe if you want snappy police response you a want an active crime, with weapons involved. If you want an easy life, you don't

It's 1" I know it's earlier than 97 The frame shapes are all quite simple.

I suspect the age and gender of the perpetrator resulted in greater requirement for legal compliance. I saw a couple of shirtless guys one wheelying on an e-motorbike the other riding a quad without plates, straight past an assortment of law enforcement, they didn't bat an eyelid. Many...

Flighty the litespeed Awaiting date info from here: Aaah😍

I've owned this around 20 years. I'm sure I used to know what year it was. I wanted to put the date into the thread about ti welds https://www.retrobike.co.uk/threads/the-titanium-weld-and-detail-appreciation-thread.496091/page-5 but found all the Litespeed catalogue photos seemed to feature...

Just round the lanes On flighty: .

Loads of enthusiasm, but nobody waving the readies. Post a link. Sometimes we get asked for rare stuff. Usually though they want it for peanuts.🙄
