Here's my Trek 1420 from 1990. I worked in a shop that sold these bikes in the mid '90s and really wanted one back then, but couldn't afford one. So, when one came up in my size on ebay a few years back I grabbed it. I really like that even though it's aluminium it's really smooth and...

This is Ed’s (orange71) old Diamond back Axis frame he packed up and shipped to me down here quite a while back now. My first bike was a ’92 Diamond Back Response, so this was a bit of a nostalgia purchase that’s taken me forever to build up. I wanted to get the frame powder coated...

I originally bought this second hand in 2004 to commute on - it was all original and hardly used. Over the years it's seen many guises, most recently as a single speed, but now it's back to commuting duties as the 700c wheels on my flat bar road bike were a bit weak when I wasn't in such a...

I bought this last year as new old stock to replace my '98 Trek Y-33that while working just fine had developed some rather worrisome noises so I figured it was time for something newer as my off road bike of choice. Pretty much as per specification except tyres (Maxis Rendez front and...

I bought a Diamond Back Axis frame off here a while back and have finally gotten around to doing some work on it - starting with a repaint. It had a small dent under the top tube from a tool being dropped on it (bummer) so I sanded it back and filled it with some solder - as I'd seen this...

Picked up a frame and a few parts today. A Sintesi Hale Bopp. Photo from the seller is below. Can anyone tell me what year it's from or provide any more info on the model? The frame says heat treated 7005 and it's no lightweight and from a google search I'd say it's pretty much from the...

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/2009-GT-Golden-Z ... 728wt_1167 I know it isn't exactly retro - but in 10 years time what's the bet this'll be a classic? Couldn't buy these - you could only win them. Seems a decent price for a new full carbon XTR hardtail even without the rarity factor.

These bars were on my Supercaliber when I picked up. They have a Ti finish, but weigh a ton. They've been cut down to 52cm wide and weigh 308g. They have what looks like a 'POW...' on one side (could be 'Powerbulge'?) and a '...A..." with what could be '...PAN...' underneath. So I'm...

Terrible condition, broken rear shock, looks like a dint in the seatstay where the swingarm hit (when shock broke?) but some nice bits lurking under the grime... is that a Syncros crank and stem? http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... 0297100742 I'd be very very tempted just for the...

Thinking of buying some forks on Ebay from the States, but the seller is saying no international shipping. Can any of our American friends help me out? (I remember seeing a thread dedicated to this sort of thing a while ago but I can't find it now!) And before I commit to spending a fortune...

Just bought a Gary Fisher Supercaliber off a local classifieds site. Probably paid too much for it but been looking for a project for a while, and this one looks like it'll keep me busy! Frame seems sound (though paint and decals are nackered - looks like it'd been someone's commuter for a...

The RH shifter (STX-RC STI pod) on my '98 Norco Sasquatch beater (it currently has a seat on it for my 2 year-old) has died - I can only get 3 shifts with the thumb bit before it just flops around, so I'm looking for a replacement (thank goodness the route from home to the adventure playground...

I followed a google ad to these guys the other day: 'www.webikes.com' and while bikes from 06 and 07 aren't really retro, the prices and the free shipping deal seems very good... too good perhaps? I know a few people who may be interested, but are wary of spending that much money on the web...

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/MARIN-MOUNTAIN-BI ... otohosting I don't live in the UK, and I'm way too small for it, but it looks like it could have early 90s LX bits on it so it is probably half decent... it still has the reflectors in the wheels! could be a bargain for someone perhaps?

I'd really like an XTR M952 (yes I know there is one on ebay.co.uk at the moment - but I'm in Australia and bidding in pounds is doing my head in!) or an XT level - its to go on a '98 Trek Y-33. Can any one help?... I know it's not retro, but out of curiosity, does anyone know if a Sram front...
