    1994 GT Team RTS

    Decent pair of cranks ruined

    Picked up a bike earlier this week mostly for the frame. Bonus in that it came with a set of Middleburn RS(7?) cranks attached, but unfortunately the last owner decided the best course of action to make them fit wasn’t to fit a longer BB or different set, but instead they needed to be...

    Withdrawn Exploding Mountain Bikes VHS

    I found this whilst clearing the loft, anybody want it for cost of postage? I don’t have a VHS player so it’s untested, but frankly it looks as good as new.

    Wanted Mountain Biker Magazines 1991

    Looking for a few specific Mountain Biker (International?) magazines from 1991. Not sure if the magazine carried the ‘International’ monika at that stage. August, September & October. If you have those available please let me know.

    Holy Grail XTR Part!?!?

    Now I always thought that this was the extent of the original iteration of the XTR M900 groupset: And I was aware of the addition of a bottom bracket cable guide (SM-SP17) when the M910 groupset appeared for 1995, plus the various parts changes that came with the groupset before M950 changed...

    RockShox Mag 21 rebound

    What actually controls the speed of rebound in a RockShox Mag 21 fork? I have these Specialized Future Shocks (basically a Mag 21 I believe), and the rebound is pretty violent, so I’m wondering how I can slow it down. They seem to take and hold pressure, and the adjuster knobs are effective...

    Retrobikers Ebay user names

    I’m sure I regularly deal with Retrobike members via eBay, some more easily recognisable than others via their usernames, but the ability to communicate with them isn’t as easy as on here. Would it be worthwhile having a list / thread on here where RB’ers share their eBay handle in order to do...

    Wanted X-Lite flat Ti bar

    I'm looking for an early X-Lite flat Titanium bar - which I believe came with a shim. Not the later 540 Pro bar. Needs to be uncut and ideally in tip top condition. Any out there? Thanks.

    My time with 5 bridesmaids…

    ;) Reflecting on a surprising runner-up spot in the April BOTM poll, got me checking exactly how many times I’d been a runner-up, as I was thinking it must be 3 or 4 by now. But no, as far as I can tell I’ve been a runner-up 5 times now! :oops: That’s from about 15 or so entries since late...

    Sold M900 XTR parts / partial groupset

    I gathered an XTR group together for use on a Merlin I built up recently, but as I decided to go with XT this is now surplus to my needs. Wheels: Campagnolo Atek on 36H M900 hubs, complete with original QRs and intact rubber o-rings. Something odd that I’ve never seen before, is a crack in one...

    Reasons for selling bikes/parts/other

    When you come to sell things online, do you ever include a reason for selling the item(s)? I recently lost out on purchasing some items from an auction house, and as expected have already identified the items in question now listed on ebay - for overly inflated prices. Now it would have been my...

    Withdrawn Klein Rascal MC1 1"

    Tentative request for a 1" Klein MC1 stem/bar combo to suit a '92 Rascal. Ideally in UltraViolet/Magenta colourway and uncut (or extended back to original length if previously cut down). I'm UK based. Anything out there?

    Help with fitting Syncros Stem/Bar Combo

    I’m struggling to fit a Syncros bar to a Syncros stem. The independent shim should sit centrally in the stem, but try as I might I can’t open the stem clamp up enough to prevent the shim from closing up and stopping me getting the bar through whilst keeping the shim in the central position...

    HED Carbon Downhill Wheels - Ended

    Was this a good deal? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/256790325135 I don't know enough about them nor am I looking for some, but seemed like a good price? Wide rims?!

    Garage storage of small battery powered items - help required please

    My garage is uninsulated and unheated apart from the electric and oil heaters I turn on when I'm in there for prolonged periods (which is not very often these days), so is cold throughout the winter months. I have several battery powered tools/gadgets which more often than not will be dead as a...

    Sorted M900 XTR brake pads and a 170mm drive side crank arm?!

    On the look out for a complete set of 4 original brake pads for M900 XTR cantis, rider condition/part worn ideally. *Edit* sorted for the brake pads. Also could make use of a 170mm RH (drive side) M900 XTR crank if for some bizarre reason anyone has one spare! Failing that if you need a 170mm...

    Withdrawn Strong Seatpost 27dia

    Looking for one of these ‘Strong’ Seatposts please, 27mm dia and uncut (length should be c.240-250mm I think), in silver, decent condition but doesn’t have to be perfect. There’s a few about overseas but prices are wild and often doubled by the postage!
