    Suntour XC sport rear mech

    As fitted to an 86ish muddy fox courier. Seen a few tatty examples on ebay from the US. Any on this side of the pond? Thanks John

    BRC Gonzo / Araya MF-26 Pro?

    Well, just about finished with the Haro, so thought it was about time to get a build thread started on this one. Started off a few months ago with poorly photographed ad on marktplaats. Geometry looked interesting, could see the chain stay mounted rear brake, but looked too slim to be a u-brake...

    Bridgestone MB1 (1989?)

    http://link.marktplaats.nl/m914526260 looks to be 1989 (comparing with catalogs on sheldonbrown.com) would love it myself, but the garage is full. just down the road from me if anyone is interested ...

    a bit of chain stay rollercam brake action ...

    Very chuffed today. My ongoing search for something 80s, steel, lugged, slack frame angles etc. seems to have paid off. Not a common or very high end brand (certainly not this side of the Atlantic). Will take me a year or so to get to this (other things in the queue). For now just a quick...

    Cannondale SM700 1988?

    http://link.marktplaats.nl/869269270 Looks pretty original, great price too. Have to admit, I agonised for quite a while before posting this. But looks too big for me (probably 20" I guess). Why are folks so tall in NL!? Hope it goes to a good home John

    Haro Impulse Comp 1990

    Here's my new project, a 1990 Impulse Comp. The paintwork is such that a respray, new decals etc. is required. For a while I wondered about rebuilding it as a higher spec extreme, but in the end decided to rebuild it close to the original spec ... I just like the idea of bringing it back to it's...

    My first e-stay, or .... "and you said it wouldn't fit"

    Another marktplaats find :-) Well, I was heading west to Schiphol to pick up my wife tonight anyway, so it would only be an extra 45 minutes out of the way I thought .... so, I stuck in the minimum bid and few hours later I got an email telling me it was mine :-). Seemed like a great idea...

    threaded headset advice ...

    I'm mighty pleased with my most recent purchase (m series 'Dale from 1993). But as always there is something new to deal with and learn about ... :-) It seems to me that the headset that is fitted is just too "tall". There's just not enough stem sticking through for the lock nut to securely...

    Cannondale M series, 1993

    So I was at my local LBS asking for some advice about fixing a damaged fork (for my Pinarello project). Ended up getting a lecture about the dangers of riding old school bikes (the fork was bent, dangerous and should not be ridden on at all :-) ) I left feeling a bit sheepish. But just as I got...

    Pinarello Rombo 1991 (I think) ... advice needed

    ok, so I was not going to buy another bike, but browing through marktplaats again and saw something a bit retro. Just 50 euro in the end, and a couple of km down the road, so why not? Not sure much about the history of this one, but I really like the early 90s large diamater aluminium tubing...

    headset drama ...

    I'm currently putting an old Giant hybrid/city bike together for my son (suspect mid/late 90s) to use as a school bike. It's got a 1 inch threaded headset. After powder coating the frame so it looks nice and new, I got the pressed cups back in with no problem (bought a headset press from CRC)...
