    1989 Panasonic Mountain Cat 6500

    I picked this little ripper up recently & was very happy with the score. I’ve felt a void ever since I foolishly relinquished my ‘89 Bridgestone MB-1 & this acquisition makes me feel whole again… sort of! At least now I have a bike that sits in that magical space between “not cool enough” & “too...

    Model year of my Panasonic MC-6500?

    OK brains trust, here’s a noodle scratcher… I’ve picked up a beautiful, hardly-used Panasonic Mountain Cat 6500 with a full Deore II groupset, Araya RM20 rims etc. (note; the saddle & tyres are not original, they’re from my parts bin!). My initial assumption was that it’d be an ‘89 model but...

    Wanted 135mm (?) e2e rear shock for Verlicchi FS Works frame

    I’m in need of a rear shock for an Ironhorse FS Works. I’m told the shock has a 135mm eye to eye length. I’m unsure of the stroke or mounting dimensions. Any assistance with this info would be greatly appreciated! Would love the original Marzocchi (A20?) shock but will consider anything that...

    Morati Ti 1 1/8” stem & 27.2 seatpost

    I recently picked up a garage queen for the mint M952 groupset & this post/stem combo was fitted. It’s not of real interest to me & I’d like to move them on to recoup some of the cost of purchasing the bike. Like the rest of the components, these 2 are in mint condition. Stem: - 1 1/8”/25.4 bar...

    Morati Ti stem & seatpost - what are they worth?

    I recently picked up a garage queen for the mint M952 groupset & this post/stem combo was fitted. It’s not of real interest to me & I’d like to move them on to recoup some of the cost of purchasing the bike. Like the rest of the components, these 2 are in mint condition. Stem: - 1 1/8”/25.4...

    ‘94(?) Muddy Fox Alu Ultra

    Fresh pickup. Can’t find reference to this model anywhere but have deduced that it must be a ‘94 model because M737 only spanned ‘94/‘95 & this model isn’t in the ‘95 catalogue. Happy to be proven wrong though! Frame: Muddy Fox 7005 alloy Fork: Muddy Fox 7005 alloy unicrown Headset: Dia...

    Trimble Inverse 4

    I was stoked to find this ‘89 Trimble Inverse 4 (serial # 150, out of ~450 ever made) recently, even if it needed a LOT of work. I’d been looking for one for ~15 years! The frame was sound with no cracks or general damage. In fact, the bike had seen relatively little use in it’s ~34 years of...

    ‘93 Alpinestars Al-Mega E735

    I was stoked to find this beast in ‘hardly used, excellent condition recently. It’s never been off-road & still had the mold knobs on the slick tires it rolled off the shop floor on! Specs: Frame: - Easton Program 7000 series alloy - 18” size - 1 1/4” head tube Fork: - Rockshox Mag 10 - 1...

    I have an RS1 that I want to use on a current project but it has the wrong CSU configuration & a deformed brake arch. If you have either (or both) of the following, can you please PM me? 1) RS-1 brake arch - aftermarket (like the first image) or original (like the second image) 2) RS-1 Crown...

    '93 Giant Cadex CFM 1 (M900)

    Here's my completely original & lightly used '93 CFM 1. I was stoked to find this a few years back. It's been hanging in the shed for some time & I had an opportunity recently to bring it down, dust it off & take a few images. Specs: Frame: - Giant Cadex, Carbon tube, alloy lug, 17" Fork: -...

    Help! Gen 1 Mantis Profloater front derailleur issue

    One for the Brains-trust: I've finally gotten around to my Profloater build & was surprised to find that I don't actually have a front derailleur (period-correct or otherwise) to fit it. I have over 100 FD's so this was definitely not expected. The seat tube takes a 34.9 FD & can accommodate...

    AMP B2 rear shock service/parts question

    I've come into possession of a nice, early-edition AMP Research B2 frame but unfortunately, it has the anodized alloy through-shaft on the rear shock & (like most) the anodizing has worn. Does anyone have or have a lead on a replacement shock shaft, seal kit or replacement shock? I know it's...

    MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA: '90 Diamondback Apex, 16" - MINT!

    Please note: This bike is in Melbourne, Australia & it's simply not cost-effective to ship it overseas... unless you REALLY want it. :) I picked up this absolutely gorgeous 1990 Diamondback Apex a while ago & have returned it to as close to ‘period-correct’ as I can with my inventory of bits...

    Bridgestone 'Wild West' - Info needed!

    I came into possession of this little beauty today. There's relatively little reference to it online, & what has been posted looks like a bunch of BSOs with Bridgestone decals slapped on. This example is definitely a genuine example of a lugged, Ritchey Logic Prestige 'stone from ~ '90 as it...

    First addition to the collection some time! Delta V 1000

    It's been a year now since I opened my Cannondale Dealership & I've been looking for a nice, early example of a Delta V for the showroom. Finally found one & it's a real ripper! Almost NOS! I added tyres (not quite period correct, I know...) because it had slicks on it & the thumbies were...

    Kids of today just don't get it...

    ... & neither do the majority of adults. I've built myself a custom 2015 Cannondale Trigger 27.5 Carbon 2 with XTR & a nice WTB i23 KOM/XTR/Lefty wheelset. Because the bike runs handlebar mounted levers for the rear shock travel reducer and the dropper post, with rapidfire shifters, the bars...
