The Ultimate is a desirable bike but quite niche. If you can find examples of sold Ultimates on ebay that might be your best guide, but many bikes are hanging around for a good deal of time at the moment - especially complete bikes, there is more interest in framesets/parts as this allows many...

Is there a table or directive of some sort that says "if seat tube = X diameter then use xmm bottom bracket"? Can't find anything clear from Shimano as to why they offered two lengths and when they should be applied. I had an old Klein Rascal and have a similar vintage Marin both with fat seat...

Looking at using an M900 XTR bottom bracket paired with M900 XTR cranks on a build, but wondered how you determine which BB length is the best to use of the 2 offered; 107mm or 113mm? What drives the need or not for the 6mm difference? And is the difference all on one side of the BB or shared...

Tidied the workshop and felt I’d better fit a few parts before I misplace them 😂 Updates continuing the 1995 XTR theme… RD-M910 rear mech Expensive brake pads, but they sure do look nice 🤩 And finally the STIs - ST-M910 complete with all the correct rubber covers👍 Also fitted a...

I had one of these briefly a few years back, also slightly faded on one side! 🤔 https://www.retrobike.co.uk/threads/1991-14-5%E2%80%9D-trek-830.437267/ Good friend of mine had one bitd, also got stolen! :(

Decals don't look original to me, and it looks to have parts from a mix of years from about '91 to '94/'95. I'm struggling to match that colour of paint to a model too... The frame number would give clarity on year.

Ah but this is granniegear, normal prices do not apply to this seller!

It’s the 1994 model. Happy hunting! 👍

@1552 might be of use for your MCM?

I'm not familiar with this particular model of ATX, but have to say it's giving Specialized Stumpjumper vibes - which isn't a bad thing! :cool:

Small update: Rim decals were in very poor condition, faded and lifting. Fortunately I had a matching rim with a decent decal, so a few emails back and forth with Gil at retro decals and he produced me a new set. The old set were a sod to remove but I’m pleased with the result having fitted...

Thought they only came in 107mm and 113mm lengths?

A whole lot of this! Problem is I didn't know at the time that I would need the part in the future, but selling it to fund something at the time was most important :D I've got a few things for sale at lower prices than others have sold the same item for yet they still aren't selling, so...

Bump

Actually I was pleasantly surprised that the bleed quote was only £15 per brake - which I was happy to pay, just not the significant upsell...

OK chaps thanks. 'Modern' bike stuff eh! Already bought a new shock for the bike earlier in the year (c.£300), so I suppose a new set of XT brakes should be bought. Appears I can get a new f&r set for £150 :rolleyes: Way cheaper than buying a new bike I suppose!

I've got a set of these on my Giant Anthem which is in the LBS at the moment, I hoped for a simple brake bleed of the front brake. I wanted them to do the work as I'm always getting boxes from them and spending very little. However they've told me both callipers are leaking and they aren't...

Edited my hunt for a silver bar as well as / instead of a blue bar as the former might be easier to come by. I bought a black bar but Evri managed to lose it :mad:

Your offer isn't unappreciated, I just feel they are worth that little bit more👍

@elite504 thanks for the comments. Re: the front brake set up, pretty sure I have the 2mm thick cable in place (but will double check). Also think I’ve got the correct cable straddle - but open to correction on that if you’d can provide a link to the ones you mention on Bicyclist.cc. 👍
