    2 Yokota Yosemite's in 2 days

    I'm always on the hunt for vintage MTB's so a few days back a white 90 Yosemite was posted on CL for a small amount of money. Got ahold of the seller and set up a time to buy it, the bike was all original down to the tires and Turbo saddle, both were in sad shape. I swapped out the tires for...

    93-94 Bontrager

    Not sure of the year of this one but it does have the 2 piece seat stays. Original paint was in bad shape along with the stickers being partially removed to repair the rust on the down tube, surface only so was treated, stripped and resprayed black with a Kandy Purple over that then clearcoat. I...

    GT Timberline

    Almost buttoned up build, not sure of the year as there were no parts that came with the F/F/S. I had a Deore LX group from a Diamondback Accent that was upgraded so now on this heavy beast. I liked the seat cluster and the stem is mostly why I wanted it, of course the crackle paint helps too.

    I landed a Dirt Shark

    I was looking for a dirt jumper for one of my sons and put dirt in the search on CL and a surprise for me, this showed up and nobody had made an offer to the seller. I ended up with it and only drove 15 miles to collect. I have stripped it down to the frame, like we all do with a new bike, so...

    1993 Univega Uno in money paint

    This one caught my eye even though it was covered in grime and spider webs. Was bargain basement price at $40 and is a complete bike which has all of the components for that year. Only the tires and possibly the saddle are not original to the the specs. The seat post is toast so I do have a...

    Splatter ParkPre Hammer

    This one was dirt cheap locally so I snapped it up a few months ago. Many of the parts are what I believe to be original to the bike less the wheels. It does have the crackle/checked paint in areas but overall, not too bad. I like the look of the "fillet brazed" areas on the frame and the rear...

    198? KHS question

    This one popped up a few days ago so I picked it as a whole bike, now torn down for the usual rebuild I do on all bikes I get. I'm not sure of the year and have only seen one other on the net with the down tube gusset and full tig welded, claimed to be 1984. The fork is not the biplane job like...

    1994 Trek 9200

    Saw this on CL for a week or so and decided that $50 was a good price for the frame and shock, Risse Genesis doing the compression/rebound in the rear. I did manage to get the original wheelset/tires, blue/purple bits, bars, front derailleur, headset and LX brakes for another $40. I have 5...

    Yes, another Zaskar. Old one.

    I picked this a few months ago for nearly nothing. It was in sad shape with many parts that didn't belong on the bike but with bins full of vintage parts I was able to build the bike as well as I could without buying a bunch of stuff. Mostly XT build, DX wheelset and the elusive 2x4 fork that...

    92 RM Blizzard

    Have had this for a while sitting in my shop untouched until a few weeks ago. It was a Frankenbike with a mish mash of parts and a suspension fork, mismatched wheels and other things that were not intended for the bike. After digging through my parts I was able to find most everything so only...

    Diamondback, real or fake

    I see this for sale locally and searched for a match on Google but nothing shows up. Decals look to be correct but that lower TT seems to have no place there, maybe a modified frame or some other MTB with DB stickers. Any help will be appreciated.

    What the fork

    Bought a bike today, not particularly outstanding. Is a Scott from maybe the 80's and repainted by the seller? The thing that caught my attention was the fork. It's a segmented, Uni and box crown all in one. He says it is a Trek fork only made for 2 years, I have never seen one so asking for...

    91 DB Apex

    I saw this a week ago on local CL and thought, what do I need a DB for? After seeing it a few times still for sale I decided to have a look, was less than an hour away. When the guy took it off of his bike rack, I saw how clean the bike was and unmolested from when it was sold. Had to have it at...

    Kona with a U-brake?

    This is for sale locally and looks interesting. I have never seen a Kona with a U-brake so is why I'm here for opinions about the bike and price. The collective in Oakland want $175 which is a bit more than I want to pay and if it is a different frame in disguise that would really break the...

    Mountain Klein

    What's the value on this? I don't want to overpay so is why I'm asking here. Seller claims to be original owner and all parts to be original as well. In the one pic, the fork is hiding behind the full bike shot. Thanks for any input. Sorry about the crap pics.

    1985 Ritchey Timberwolf

    I have had this for many years and looking to sell it to a guy here in the US but not sure of value. It was repainted long ago by the previous owner I would have to assume, Bicycle Specialties, don't think they painted for Ritchey back then. Full XT Deer Head group less the hubs. Has black...

    Morphed Amplifier to Amp

    I had this Mongoose built up for a while but never had a thread for it until now. The bike was purchased by me about 3 years ago with a few parts still remaining from sellers choices. Well, this thing somehow turned into an Amp overnight a few weeks ago. I got the frame in a trade along with a...

    Yeah, but it's a BMW

    Got this in a trade for a Voodoo Canzo I had listed on CL for some time. Not really a full suspension collector but have a few in there. Was really surprised at how the suspension is active, drop the front end and it does not bounce back, rear is not as good but is better than most I have tried...

    1995 GT Karakoram

    This was one of two bikes I received in a trade for one of my bikes. I assume it's a 95 because the LX cranks are M563 and all of the other parts are LX as well and look like new, just a little dust here and there. The paint is quite heavy where the serial # is so cannot read, if a GT expert can...

    1997 Humu or so?

    Have had this one on the back burner for a while and decided to see what it was about. Only owned a few SS style bikes, well maybe I have had more but forgot, so I'm starting a Kona Humu build with all MTB parts. After searches on the web I found that most are geared towards BMX which I have no...
