    94 Kona Explosif

    Heres one I've had for way too long. I bought it as a complete bike but it didn't have all of the parts that were stock or close to that. I stripped it down, prepped it for a rebuild and swapped in a set of all similar color add on's, cable stops seat post clamp. Been waiting for a stem and P2...

    Breezer Hurricane value

    The guy I bought this off of wants to buy it back after I have added mostly period correct parts. Not sure what I have into it as most of the added parts I had. Seeing that the Hurricane was a one year only name due to Joe getting sued by Schwinn for name rights, it seems that should add some...

    1997 Bizango

    Snagged this last week for a song. 40 minute drive but worth the time and fuel to get it. It was dirty, had some parts that were lower end and needed a few adjustments to make it something I would ride. I had the seat post, tires, XT derailleurs, LX crankset and V-brakes for the upgrades...

    95 Kona Fire Mountain

    Found this one a few weeks ago but the seller wanted too much. Waited until today to make an offer and he was good with it so now I own it. It has all of the original parts attached less the saddle and tires and is in really great condition too. The color threw me off as it looks black in the...

    I broke it

    I have asked many times about the Jamis Dakotas frame. Nobody had an answer. Well, I have one I am stripping n guess what? See the pics. You will be surprised.

    94 S-Works M2

    Picked this up a few weeks ago as a complete bike but what a mess it was. Original owner said she rode it a lot and replaced parts over the years and was a bit proud. When I saw what she had swapped in I was horrified. Not one piece swapped in was anything close to what was on the bike new, in...

    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...
