    Calling all Diamond Back experts...

    Hi everyone, I'm interested in buying an old Topanga (pre-1996, I think) from the TradeMe auction site over here in NZ. The seller lists the bike as being made in England, but I'm not convinced; I thought they were all made in the far east. The seller is sure it was made in England to BS 6102...

    Pace RC300 19"

    Hi all. Having never posted a bike on here I thought I'd roll my mine in front of the camera, and up the numbers of red frames on here! I purchased this new in 2004, and it has done 30 miles or so since then. Specification: M960 XTR groupset with M965 wheel set with Contintal a Twister tubeless...

    Any ideas what this is?

    Can anyone identify this bike? I reckon it's French, but of course I coulc be totally wrong. The fork seem pretty distinctive, maybe 1950's?

    Modern parts that get the retro nod

    Living as I am in NZ, you're more likely to find a dodo than decent old school parts (or if you do, they're likely to have been thrashed, munted, then stored in the shed since). If it ain't carbon and sporting the latest double-chainring 31.8 baas down here, then it ain't no good. Or that is the...

    Fork length for a '95 Kona

    Hi All, Anyone know what the axle-crown measurement would have been on the Marzocchi suspension forks fitted in the Kona catalogue? I've fitted a slightly more recent P2 in the absence of such a fork, and am hoping it hasn't fudged the geometry. Current A-C is 410mm. Cheers. Al.

    Any RetroKiwis out there?

    Just wondering whether there were any NZ folk out there in the Wellington area? Everyone over here seems to lust after carbon disposable rides, so when they inevitably break (or a new one comes out) they just buy a whole new one. Could use some insider info on a few parts for my 1995 Hei Hei...

    Hei Hei alu seatpost shims

    Anyone reading my other post on how to get one of these out will understand this post! Assuming they were factory-fitted, does anyone know why these were necessary? Was the Ti wall thickness not enough, or were there other reasons behind them?

    Stuck alu in ti

    Hi all, Got a stuck aluminium seatpost shim in my Hei Hei frame. I'm sure it's just due to the passage of time, but any hints on how to remove without resorting to a hacksaw blade? I've heard ammonia may help with alu but any other more friendly options out there? Al

    Hei Hei inspiration required please

    Afternoon all, After a few hard months of no bikes at all due to shipping (and a change of hemisphere) I finally find myself looking at my bare '95/6 frame thinking "where do I start". I have a bikes worth of parts available but could do with some inspiration to start me off in the right...

    Raleigh Montage (Mint Green)

    Hi all, Help! I've had one of these frames in my shed for months now, with no time build it up - very very frustrating :x . Has anyone got a complete one they'd be willing to part with, particularly the U brake version? Would have to be postable though due to the aforementioned time...

    More Oakley goodness...

    The man cave is yielding more treasure: I don't wear these any more, and they should be adorning somebody's head: Oakley Plasma Magnesium M Frames with fire-coloured Heater lenses. The lenses have a few scratches, but the frames are immaculate. Complete with original box and original...
