2024 was a great year as far as acquiring Canadian bikes goes. I got bikes from three legendary Canadian makers; Marinoni, Brodie, and Chris Dekerf, in the form of this gorgeous purple '15/'16 Chromag Surface It popped up on FB Marketplace one night for a ridiculous price, and I spent way too...

There is a similar thread to this already, but I'm hoping some new people or info might know some more about this; I have found a couple of similar bikes. Like this Kinetic; Mine doesn't have a brace for the disc brake. And mine has a very beefy chain stay setup; This leads me to believe...

I recently had a stolen bike recovered, after 18 months, which is pretty crazy. However, the front caliper was missing. One of the post mounts on the fork was half-sheared off too, not sure if those things are related... Anyway, It's a Shimano SLX, M670 model. I really liked these brakes, but...

This is a bike I don't have anymore, and ultimately a sad story, but I liked this bike as much as any I've ever built, so it's worth a post I think. A very well used '91 Cannondale SM800. I think it was mostly original. It had the Shimano DX group, but an XT rear derailleur, the push-push...

I was looking for a full suspension project last winter, like a Santa Cruz Heckler or a Rocky Element, but when this came up, I couldn't resist. It was listed in the Accessories section of eBay, and even with that mistake, the ten frames the seller had sold fast. Astrix was out of Colorado...

I actually picked up this bike two summer ago, but never got around to posting anything. But there's another that got posted recently so I figured it was time. Here it as delivered; These are hardly common, but I've never seen one with the BB junction and top tube painted like this one...

A Koga-Miyata apparently; http://www.ebay.ca/itm/Koga-Miyata-carb ... SwAKxWYMKH

This bike has a pretty scary bunch of parts on it, but what is really interesting is the fork. I don't think I've ever seen a curved blade Headshok before. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Cannond ... Swl9BWNCv1

Cool and rare machine... http://www.ebay.ca/itm/Ultra-rare-1992- ... 3d0221c91c

http://www.ebay.ca/itm/Litespeed-OBED-T ... 3f51915738 Do you ever look at a bike and just immediately see that it's wrong? It might take a bit of looking to sort it out, but right from the first instance you see it, it just makes you cringe. This could be something truly special with those...

http://www.pinkbike.com/buysell/1736934 ... firstphoto this is exactly what i hope to find after i've cleared out the garage - what a great bike.

It'll be pretty obvious why I bought this, but I'm not sure what it is. My immediate thought was Rocky Mountain, but it doesn't really match any Rocky I can find. The cable routing, no slope on the top tube, 1" headtube, ovalised seatstays - nothing has that setup. And certainly nothing that...

I had a very good weekend for vintage bikes. This Stratos is the second bike I got, and I got it from the very excellent forum member Blizz, who was gracious enough to show me his very excellent collection of bikes too. It's a little scuffed and scratched, but I like patina, and it's not...

I hope this link will work, it's Google+, so who knows. https://plus.google.com/u/0/photos/+Ste ... 7db90a3cde I have to wonder about the ride of a high-pivot design like this, cool bike though.

...but I never would have thought to "fix" a fork this way. http://www.ebay.ca/itm/Manitou-Answer-E ... 3cf2f04a19

http://www.ebay.ca/itm/SHOCKSTER-NOS-Vi ... 4ae357149d I remember seeing this in MBA but always kinda suspected it never got beyond the prototype stage.

Check out all the Machine Tech bits on here. http://phoenix.craigslist.org/evl/bik/4830631988.html

Read the whole listing, it's worth it. http://www.ebay.com/itm/1987-Cannondale ... 3ced4c73f8

A very serious looking RS-1 http://www.ebay.com/itm/GARY-FISHER-RS- ... 1e958aadc1 ECS Montare; http://www.ebay.com/itm/Gary-Fisher-Mon ... 2513&rt=nc and a nice, but worn, Procaliber; http://www.ebay.com/itm/VINTAGE-GARY-FI ... 2513&rt=nc

Today I went up to the shop I used to work at - partly just to get out and ride, and partly to shake down my recently completed '05 Blizzard. As I was there, a couple came in on some vintage machines, and I had to snap a picture. The husband's Araya in the background (he said it was from...
