    UK (and Euro) Clunkers

    Hi all, I haven't been around much until lately, and have seen a lot of cool Clunker builds - enough that I feel inspired to add a page to Alan Bonds' www.clunkers.net website. If you are interested please PM me and I will gather your pics and details and post them to his site. Until...

    1983 Ritchey Commando

    The Commando was originally built from "spares" by Tom for a painter who used to work for him, then purchased in the early 90s by a good friend of mine. SN is 20B54 which puts the frame at 1983 so my best guess is a late 1984 early 1985 build from left over parts. It had been languishing in a...

    2001 Titus Switchblade

    One of the great all around trail bikes with the FSR-Horst design, light enough for XC but burly enough for all mountain/DH. I use the 4.5" rear kit with the TALAS at 100mm, but have the 5" links/shock for those times I feel ... the need. Not really a daily driver these days (since I got the...

    Recently sold the 97 Ignaz-X - got a fat offer and was barely riding it cause, well...it was only good for coffee runs and was too minty to mod for offroad duty… Less than a day later this popped up on craigslist - low price, short on description with no pics. I call and turns out know...

    This one came together last week. 1935 Mead Ranger frame (Chicago Schwinn made) known as a Double-Diamond because of the straight seat stays. Not mine but another built up for my mate Wilson (though he still owes me for the frame ;-) ) using skills learned from Alan Bonds. ebay was the...
