Hi all, Any past L'Etape riders out there?? I'm looking for info related to the best methods of bike transport to and from Europe (I'm in US), specifically to France for the 2019 Etape. I'm very familiar with packing and shipping bikes to send to Europe...have sold many bikes to buyers...

I recently had a machinist fab up ISO disc brake conversion brackets for AMP frames and forks. It was a fun project that benefited me and a lot of other folks with old AMP frames stuck with rare proprietary disc brake options. See the thread here: viewtopic.php?f=2&t=390221 My question is are...

Anyone have a write up or pdf manual describing servicing/rebuild of an AMP rear oil dampened coil shock (from a B4)? Any special tools needed? Thanks

Hi all, I am having a local machinist fab up some 6081 aluminum adapters to allow me to run IS calipers on my Mercedes AMP B4 frame and F3 forks (and ditch the AMP D1 caliper set up). I used the schematics posted by another member, AndrewdeKerf, back ion 2010 (see thread below)...

This is a very cool AMP Research B4 Mercedes Benz mountain bike. It has the very cool AMP fork. Both the rear shock and fork compress and rebound well. I've seen the Police model bike with the integrated rear rack like this, but this is not branded as a Police bike. The paint is very nice all...

So one of my front axle spacers from my American Classic front hub has walked away. This is the aluminum spacer (usually black) that slides over the axle and provides a mounting point for the front fork. Without it I can't use the wheel! Anyone have an extra, or a cheap entire front hub, or a...
