Triggers broom comes to mind when describing this bike. Back in 2004 I was without a trail bike having had my Orange EvO2 nicked 18 months before. My dad wanted to get out riding in the hills again, and I must say I was keen too, so he basically gave me a budget and told me to sort out a bike...

Back when I was a lad, and 8spd hadn't been invented, my first bike was a 20" wheeled Specialized Hard Rock Mega. It was bright red, and a mini Ned Overend lookalike, and was very, very cool to 6 year old me. And to think I could have ended up with a Raleigh Activator. Luckily a guy my dad was...

After the Marin (see here) had broken for the umpteenth time, and Edinburgh Bikes had decided they didn't want to honour the warranty because I'd raced it, we jumped ship from them. Marin at the time didn't care whether you'd raced DH on their DH bike, but for some reason Edi Bikes did. As a...

As title really, either: - World Cup 2 (stationary inner plate, up to 44T) and in 110mm STD drive - Slalom 1 (two rotating plates) or Slalom 2 in either 94mm 5 bolt, 104mm 4 bolt or 110mm STD drive. Not bothered about rollers, I have spares, but they do need to be silver and either BB mounted...

As title really. I'm after a 68mm Hope C2 caliper half (or full caliper). I've got a later 74mm one here but want to fit the brake to an earlier '99 Manitou X-Vert for the Tazer rather than the '01 version currently fitted.

I'm sure some of you will have seen this for sale recently. It was originally up for too much money, and if truth be told I still paid too much for it given how much the market's on its arse, but I sorted it for a price I was willing to pay and that's the main thing. If truth be told I thought...

The first generation of Intense Tazer is an absolute classic and one which needs little introduction. This sequence in the first Earthed film of Kovarik razzing about the pits with the '03 decals to me was absolutely iconic, as were those years of Norba and World Cup 4x, until of course Sam Hill...

This one is very special to me, it’s my dad's first, and until pretty recently, only mountain bike. Back when I was a wee nipper he bought me my first mountain bike, a 20" wheeled 1993 Specialized Hardrock Mega from Edi Bikes on the advice of a guy he was working with at the time. That one...

As title really, I'm after a front Hope hub with spider in 36h. Either a mk1 Bulb or Sport would be ideal, but QR and 36h are the main criteria. Black preferably but that's easily fixed if not. Cheers

Back when I was a kid we did something like 3000 miles a year as a family, and at ten I could do 60 miles off road quite comfortably. Admittedly that was more estate tracks and such more than the technical mountain trails I'd ride these days, but still. It was as a kid riding these trails that...

Another DH bike that doesn't get ridden much. Back in 2011 I was still working for Pinkbike and they bought this for me through the UK distributor in a lovely shade of chrome grey as payment for some of the stuff I was doing for them. I raced it that season but as I returned to having a proper...

I have a soft spot for these old Treks for a few reasons. The main one is that my first 26" wheeled bike was a 14.5" framed 850 in Ice Green, and partly because a lot of the guidebooks we had back in the day which covered Scotland, and still have actually, have one of the writers onboard a Trek...

This is a bit newer than a lot of the stuff on here but as it's still nearly twenty years old I thought it might be of some interest to at least a few of you. Back in January 2005 I 'signed' with Rotec for racing DH in the UK with their then new RL9 which was the first departure from the...

As the title really, I'm looking for either of these to go on a wall hanger. The Manitou would need to be the original version with the not-quite-IS disc mount rather than the later post mount, and preferably with the original fork boots given they're long NLA. They don't need to be perfectly...

Hey, so I've got a bunch of 5 bolt Hope Bulbs and a Sport that I want to build. Now before anyone says, yes, I can measure them to get the dimensions for the spoke calculator but they're currently buried. I could also probably ping Jonny at Hope and ask him but given the breadth of geeky...

Splitting this off from the main thread as all that stuff is in good condition. With the exception of the first few tyres these will be of more interest to people building bikes rather than riding them as they are all suffering from age related issues. Good condition tyres that are all new...

Right, this is a massive list of stuff. I really have accumulated a lot of stuff over the years but have come to the point where I'm running out of space. Most stuff is in really good condition, some great, and some I'd describe as spares/repairs so you can fix up your other bits. Prices reflect...

Looking for a 14" or 16" 4x/dual frame to build up for some summer evening fun. Doesn't have to be cosmetically perfect, but something along the lines of these frames would be ideal given the rest of the spare bits I have are of that era. Cheers

I'm posting in this forum as they're just about pre-97 (build code says 08/97!). I've got a pair of Z1 BAM Bombers and would ideally have some stiffer springs for them. Does anyone have a note of what spring rates are available for them, other than stock of course, and where you may get them...

It's funny how time changes and what was once cutting edge and lusted after becomes old and tired and thrown out. Back in the early nineties when I was in my formative years and out riding in the Scottish hills with my parents virtually every weekend I would look at things like Z1 Bombers and...
