Sadly I have to admit it’s time to move this one on to a better home! The pictures are from 2013 when I’d recently acquired and refurbished this bike. Following these pics I enjoyed a couple of thousand glorious miles on it - a beautiful machine to ride. I’m embarrassed to admit, however, that...

Hi all, I've recently been enjoying getting back out on my '96 Explosif, but had forgotten just how badly out of alignment the rear end is. The picture below hopefully gives an idea of the scale of the problem. Believe it or not, the brakes are properly centred with respect to the rim! In its...

I've been looking for a retro Hope disc setup. Why are they all attached to Zaskars this month! http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Gt-zaskar-mou ... SwiONYPHMk

I'm not sure what year this Zaskar's from, or if it's even a Zaskar, but it could be worth it just for the wheels - looks like Hope Ti-Glide/Sus disc with the elusive 5-bolt spiders. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/172478728265? ... EBIDX%3AIT

While on holiday last week I snapped this bike in Barcelona's Eixample district, having been drawn to it by the unusual front fork/disc brake arrangement! Looks like the bike left the factory that way as the forks have a cable guide braze on and no rim brake mounting posts. (The rear brake was a...

Looks like pre-97 due to the cable stop arrangement and dog collar. No other distinguishing features that I can see. Probably a lower end model but could be a nice cheap ride for someone nearby! http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/331130729341? ... 1423.l2649

I've just recently finished building up this Kona for my girlfriend and thought I'd post some pictures up here as this frame has been floating around the forum for a while now! (Some history in this thread: http://www.retrobike.co.uk/forum/viewto ... t=explosif) Although it's probably a '98 or...

Hi all, All sold now. Thanks all! SOLD First up is a '97 Cinder Cone frame in 20". There are quite a lot of scrapes and scratches as demonstrated in the photos and some surface rust exists where paint is missing. There are, however, no dents or dings and the BB threads are in good nick. There...

Hi all, Here are a couple of pics of my Gianni Motta which I bought at the end of last year. This is the first road bike I've ever owned, having exclusively been a MTB guy up until now. The only parts I've had to replace were a worn chain and cassette, ugly cranks and some uncomfortabe bars...

Hi everyone, I bought this Kona off ebay recently for a pretty reasonable sum. While it appears to be wearing '99 style decals, I believe its probably a '96 model as the front triangle is constructed with that distinctive Columbus Max tubing and the colour seems about right. The only thing...

Hi all, Here's a '97 Judy XC in need of some TLC, free to a good home if you can collect from central London. The steerer is 1 1/8" ahead, 225mm in length. I've not taken the forks apart, but I'm pretty sure the elastomers need replaced. Otherwise I'm afraid I can't comment on their...

Hi everyone, I'm looking for a Project 2 fork with 420mm a-c measurement and a 1 1/8" threadless steerer no less than 225mm in length. I'm trying to convert a '97 Cinder Cone to rigid, the P2s will be replacing some '97 Judy XCs which are in a rather unloved state. If anyone's interested...
