    Rocky Mountain Segmented Fork ID please....

    Any idea what RM these forks are from? They're really light, segmented forks with Tange Struts and dropouts. I've been through the catalogue archive but some of the pics on the 1992 catalogues are a bit grainy so can't make out (they came with a 92 frame). They don't seem to come up often so...

    Wanted: Marin Frameset - 20.5" ctc - Steel preferred...

    As per title, I'm after a 20.5" Marin frameset (i.e. 20.5" ctc). Not really fussed, but would prefer something mid or upper range and preferably steel, must have rigid forks with the frame (too much bother sourcing some otherwise) and preferably looking at late 80's, early 90's. I have a soft...

    Wanted: Rigid forks for my '94 20" Zaskar (165mm head tube!)

    As title. Don't mind if threaded or threadless, (1 1/8" I believe) but the frame has a 165mm head tube, so need a decent length steerer either way! Actually, threadless would prob be better as she's already sporting an aheadset. Would prefer a nice GT fork, but in reality would use anything...

    Can anyone help to id my Saracen Frame?

    So my mystery Saracen frame off eBay arrived today... http://retrobike.co.uk/forum/viewtopic. ... highlight= Can anyone help to id it? Only clues apart from the pics below are that it is really light for a 19.5" (C-T) frame (almost as light as my Cannondale M2000) - but have no scales to...

    Nice 87/88? Red Saracen Tufftrax - Blackpool

    This is a nice Tufftrax - if my memory serves me correctly, this is either an '87 or '88. Whatever year it was, I seem to recall you could get these in Yellow or Red - don't seem to see many of the Red ones around these days... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SARACEN-TUFFT ... 624wt_1139

    I've gone Raleigh mad!

    So, I know there's not a great deal of love for Raleigh on here, but their top end MTBs always did it for me bitd....long story, but I've always had Raleighs for as long as I can remember as my Dad's mate had a Raleigh bike shop and could always give good discounts on Raleighs (my previous 89...

    Cleaning inside of frame tubes?

    This might seem a daft question, but does anyone clean the inside of their frame tubes? And if so, how? The reason I ask is that I've spent the last couple of evenings removing the seatpost from my Scott, and I've dumped the best part of a can of oil and penetrating fluid down the seat tube and...

    Anyone have any info on 1 1/4" Ritchey Logic Expert Hea

    Hello All, I've got a "notchy" headset on the Cannondale I've recently bought...I've deduced she has a 1 1/4" Ritchey Logic Expert Threaded Headset. There is no play in the steering and from the outside the cups look immaculate - so I think it's probably the bearings (without taking the thing...
