yeah, quite a lot of those nickel-plated bikes do have those, some do have meanwhile even quite massive corrosion at the area around bottom bracket. I think a regular lacquering is providing a better protection. Still smaller spots can still be just on the upper surface and you should give it a...

I can't provide a brand or model name, but maybe helping summarizing details. - It looks like a nickel-plated (often also called titanized or titan-finish) CroMo frame. Those had been offered by Marin, Scott, Diamond Back, Parkpre, Stevens, Maxx, CATs, Cycle Culture, Magni, Wheeler, Sunn...

Google can do this for you It reads than better than the German version with a lot of spelling issues Just the pressed lugs are meant by the word "bushing", here was already the German version written pretty strange. so no wonder that the translation is now even more confusing. Not sure what's...

yeah, it's indeed a bit strange having different names in German for many countries, still the spelling is corretc, but actually this advert was apparently very weak translated, so it's very funny to read in German

isn't this the Claud Butler Titanius frame (only 3 main tubes Titanium) also sold back in time from Praktiker hardware store chain in Germany or from Hawk and Minerva? https://www.retrobike.co.uk/threads/help-recognizing-a-minerva-frame.402658/post-3698265 or...

it's for Sugino-produced cranks, e.g. their own Impel etc. but also stuff they have done for others. Edit, also the Specialized Strongarm compact 5 arm have that layout, i think some other brands too, maybe all produced by Sugino.

the lower one in red looks like an Clinton bike i have seen in the past. The fork from the lower one is a Paioli M03

this is from roughly 2000 It's foldable by a quick release at the top of the seat tubes and and having a pivot point close to the BB. The pic here shows the full suspension of same generation, but the fold mechanism is same at the hard tail. Obviously key use case, to get it into the boot...

Taiwanese frork with Elastomere, sold from a number of brands like 43 cyclepieces, Abt, Akela, Rhino, Sabre etc. even also from Shogun for a while often with polished lowers. It had been offered quite cheaper as a Manitou or even Rockshox. So a no-name thing, but on the other side...

same cantis had been sold also labled as Vanguard

Hi, I just wanted to share my two cents about fixing cracked head tubes too. Brilliant work from @danson67! Just it may not work for all cracked head tubes, as very often it's not a single crack, but often more, or at least from both sides. I have bought once KTM Ultra (the blue one with AMP...

Hi Voldman, welcome here, please provide some pictures, this is typical pretty helpful to date or comment on your bike. If I'm not mistaken, the model name Shoreline wasn't used before end of nineties at all. The first one was for a full suspension bike, here is a link to the 2001 model...

Nice Bike! Information about early KTM MTBs is rather spare, to me this might be a 1990 or 1991 model and similar like the ones liszed in this 91 brochure (sorry I don't have any better pictures) It's hard to see, is this an "MC" or are there even 3 letters at the seat tube?

Better watch out for their great brakes. http://www.bikepro.com/products/brakes/brakecanti/crystald.html They had nice cantilevers and pretty iconic brake levers too This is a blue set I do own Later even a few fancy V-Brakes

this is a titan-finish, sometimes also called "titanized" frame, CroMoly with nickelplating, no paint, but maybe still a clear lacquer. Something which is impossible to do at home, not even companies can do this easily, because of environmental rules nowadays. So indeed a bit of a challenge...

The cut outs are just to fit more easily to different crank sets. The Crystal Design chain ring guard came in different variants, also for compact and standard BCD. This is from 1997: And here is an advert, already from 1992, showing also one with out any cut outs at all:

Hard to say, just my gut feeling, it's a LX550, by the general design and the used plastic cap. Rings should be aluminum.

A pretty similar one was offered by Crystal Design. That's the Rock Ring as mentioned above by @DesertRyder Source of the picture and available in NOS here https://www.mtb-kult.de/Crystal-Design-Rockring-cnc-gefraesst-Compact-Lochkreis-94mm-fuer-42-Zaehne-made-in-USA-schwarz-NEU

wow, this is a bit of an rare Razorback HT, most only re-call the iconic full suspension Razorback (with pull-shock licensed from Turner). This came 1999 and initially still with Noleen (earlier Girvin) Crosslink fork. But the frame was at this time already with IS disc mount, just not the...

sorry for replying once more to this interesting ride. Just Paul Brodies cruiser with shaft drive came to my mind last night and I have to share this here too. His result as shown at the North American Handmade Bicycle Show (2017, if I'm not mistaken)...
