what is up with the kona stuff? i've never seen a more rabid group of fans. anyway, i've been paying more attention to it as a result. can i get a brief summary of the line and history? there are many kona bikes in my town and i see them and wonder if they are the same models so many here seem...

first flight is offering up a set. not nos, but still nice. item #7240777078 there was a lot of enthusiasm for another set recently, so i thought to mention. maybe he'll ship overseas as well. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... %3AIT&rd=1

well, ill be hitting the last of the spring bike auctions tonight. not sure what ill find, but maybe there will be something worthwhile. overall, ive been pleased with this seasons finds, so i wont be too disappointed if theres nothing to bring home. so far: scott windriver w/xc 9000 -...

id like to hear what you guys think of bikes that were something special in their day, but that have been well used, or left outside, and just generally look battered. paint scratches, scrapes, and nicks. wear marks. etc. most of the interest seems to be in nos or near mint condition items. i...

talk about a disappointment. a week or so ago i bought nos dx front hub and headset off ebay. prices were pretty good for buy it now and i do like the stuff. package arrives today and i thought it seemed a little heavy. when i look inside, i find a dx headset and an exage front hub. clearly...

a couple questions about these products. servo wave brake levers and the mega 9 drive. are there any generalizations that can be made about them? are they consumer buzzwords or viable technologies? what era? the drivetrain stuff looks fairly new. mega 9 shifters. xt long rear. some kind of well...

how about a pair of nos dia compe ss7 levers. purple even. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... 7236364589 :D

for a couple of upcoming builds, i'd be interested in talking about pretty much anything you have in those groups. preference would be for good condition or nos stuff, but i can use worn items as well. *i particlularly like xc pro pedals. thx

i used to ride a brave warrior in college. traded in my grove innovations assault for it. i think i had the brave for about two years before selliing to a friend. he pretty much hounded me every week about it...even though it was likely too big for him. by that time i had moved to the beach...

http://cgi.ebay.com/Mountain-Cycle-Moho-STS-Bike-Frame-19-BLK_W0QQitemZ7234752741QQcategoryZ98083QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem it almost looks like somebodys bad homegrown project. wonder what it weighs.

i have my eye on an older shwinn crusier that i saw at auction preview today. i know some of you, including rody, have made decent commuter bikes from them. one thing ive been wondering about is the cranks. the ones ive seen have large bb shells with single piece cranks. i imagine replacing that...

i have an old lugged road frame from maybe the late 70's. some notes i have lead me to believe it will need french headset and bb. how can i be certain? i checked the thread specs, but they seem similar enough that it would be difficult to tell visually. any tips?

generally, im pretty good with knowing what i want and not getting carried away. this afternoon, though, i got sucked into a buy-it now pair of nos xc pro pedals for 149.00. it is my preferred pedal design, but i can't say that i actually needed them. now i'm just like wtf. :roll: im not...

well, for spring i want to build a four season commuter bike for daily trips to and from work and around town. its a short trip...about 1.5 miles and has a few hills. since i don't want to arrive at work as a sweatball, i usually make it a slow, low strain trip. it rains often in my area so im...

for a while, i considered them the latest marketing gizmo. lately though, i've noticed the people riding them seem almost fanatical in their devotion. i've never ridden one, nor do i fully undersand the supposed design benefits. so im wondering what you guys think and if anyone can relate...

a few weeks back a green, supposedly magnesium funk frame sold on ebay. well, i was the one that bought it as the only bidder. it arrived a week or so ago and looks pretty good, but in talking with daryl, it seems most certainly to be aluminum. 6061. so now i'm wondering if i should return the...

i'm kicking around the idea of a klein attitude that a friend offered me. its a mid 90's attitude with low miles. pretty much full xt and rs judy. i don't follow the market too much and am wondering what a minimum value, in US dollars, for this might be? i see some that sell for crazy amounts on...
