Due to a self imposed intervention, I haven't been on this forum for a while. But now I'm back! I want to consult the experts here about the origin of this mid to late 90's Ti MTB. I picked it up on Craigslist for a song and have since been using it as an allarounder. The curved chain stays...

Yes, I have a thing for Ti bikes. Here are my two Ti MTBs, both somewhat of a mystery. (I'll save the Ti road bikes for later. The first is my Frankenbike Ti drop bar single speed. I bought the frame from a very knowledgeable Dutch seller, who told me it was a mid 95's MTB manufactured by a...

Hi looking for two Rockshox Mag 21 brake bosses / cantilever posts. Thanks RFC

Hi All, I picked up a 94ish RockShox Mag 21 Ti fork and realized that I need to get posts. Any idea of a source? I found these on the Bay, but don't know if they are compatible. http://www.ebay.com/itm/RockShox-Brake- ... 0536463564 Thanks, RFC

I just picked up an old RockShox Mag 21. It's apparent that the air pressure needs to be increased. It may need to be overhauled, but I want to try the simplest fix first. I have found the rebuild manual, which is not entirely clear on the air pressure subject. My question is, do I increase...

Hi all, I recently picked up a 92 Litespeed Ocoee with a Rock Shox Mag21 SL Ti fork. As you can see, the finish almost has a tarnished look to it. What would you use to try to brighten it up a bit? Thanks,

I had sworn off new projects. However, this 1992 Litespeed Ocoee sort of fell in my lap (complete with Specialized Ti stem, Ti RockShox and headset, sans wheels and seatpost). What can I do? Right now, a Frankenbike build appeals to me and I think this may make a good candidate. I already...

Although I have been happily reducing my C&V holdings, this Stumpjumper Sport found its way to my house. I've always wanted to try one of these early bi-plane fork MTBs. Mechanically, its in great condition and very ride able. And, with the exception of seat, seat post and peddles, appears to...

I picked up a couple of interesting candidates last night -- 1987 Bridgestone MB-2 and 1987 Black Chrome Schwinn High Sierra, both in their natural dirty state. And now the self-imposed obsession with how to build them up, where your advice will be most appreciated. The MB-2 is in great...

There are times when the paint is just too far gone, as with my 1989 Stumpjumper. I would very much appreciate seeing your powder coated bikes. Thanks so much. BTW, this is still the best retro mtb forum on the web.

As I have reported elsewhere, I literally picked up this 1991 Haro Extreme from a neighborhood curbside pile of junk. http://www.bikeforums.net/showthread.ph ... light=haro There was grass growing through the cassette and it obviously had been left outside for years. It was the finish...

Hi All, Recently, I picked up this 1991 Haro Extreme -- literally, out of a neighborhood curbside junk pile -- I feel so dirty. I originally grabbed it for good Old School components, but then realized that this is a very interesting frame. And, it had a patina I actually liked. It had...

I picked up this Ti MTB off of CL a couple of years ago and love it. However, I have not been able to identify the manufacturer / year. Except for the bars and seat post, it is as I got it. As I looked through the Vintage Ti MTB threads elsewhere, I was able to identify several...
