So a new year demands a new build. Just picked up this lovely 16.5" 1996 Gary Fisher Xcaliber RX frame. Its pretty tatty but otherwise in sound condition. Now i have a slew of recent modern bits hanging around waiting on a frame to lavish them on so have decided to give this old girl a new...

Hi guys. As the topic says I'm after a Clockwork in 17", 16" or 15". Now here's the rub. I'm in The Colonies (Aus) so after just a frame nothing else to reduce shipping costs. Condition: structurally has to be in decent nick no mad dents etc. cosmetically not arsed because it will be totally...

As per the title, I am after a Richey seatpost in 27.2 x 400 See pic below for reference! Let us know what ye have.

Interesting decal scheme....

Ok chappers, recently bought this of my fellow colonial Slow6, and by golly its a lovely frame and I reckon even as its a diddy little 15"er it will get a thrashing from me before I hand it over to my nephew who I am going to build it up for. So far I am unsure of its vintage, i think, going on...

Since there are a few of us now and the Aussie roll call thread is getting quite long now, I thought it would be pertinent to create a new thread specifically for us retrobogans to have a thread to organise some rides. For other states I think you should do likewise that way you can capture...

Hi guys, i need an x56 swingarm in good condition "structurally". Not fussed about cosmetics as it will be polished.

Alreet lads, just picked up this MC Shockwave frame, its in need of a complete overhaul, but that was always the case in my builds! Anyhoo, what year is it? I presume its early 00's. Also can I get service kits for it, I need a main pivot and some bushings for the shock and linkage. I'll be...

A friend of mine asked me to build him a bike to promote his clothing business. After some discussion we settled on a beach cruiser, since the fixie thing has been done to death. So after a little search i found this little beaut in the corner of my favourite bike shop in Melbourne, Pista...

Since this project is pretty much finished I thought I would post a mini build of my little shop runaround cafe lounger steed. Bought from eBay some months ago from a fine chap down the coast, the bike was pretty much standard down to the delivery plastic still on the mudguards. She was in a...

Ok pop pickers can anyone answer this question: Would a Shimano Nexus 3 speed twist grip be compatible with a Sturmey Archer 3 speed hub?

No idea where to put this so I guess it can stay in here for now. Just scored my next little project Bickerton Portable, still with the plastic on the mudguards! Will post up some new pics when i get my sweaty hands on it. Has LGF got one of these, I reckon he would have.

So my mate brings over his old Mongoose Sycamore which needs some TLC, manage to spruce it up but the fork steerer's threads have seen better days on the Rock Shox Quadras. I tried adding a some thread locker and a new top nut but it keeps working its way loose. Since its 1" its nigh on...

Need a Risse Genesis for a 1996 Proflex, anyone got one kicking around? Same as this one: Cheers muchly!

Ok I know you are supposed to use Magura Blood, but it seems a bit of a faff to import as its nigh on impossible to source locally here in Australia. Are there any alternatives the RB massive recommend? I have heard/read about people using water, cooking oil, dextron tranny fluid and all other...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E-UobFHoYJw Coming to the muppets with geekpie haircuts in meeja soon! I like the Tioga Disc Drive style these lads have got going.... kind of reminds me of the simple pleasures as a kid with a rattle can and some garbage pail kid cards in the spokes!

Where I live in Melbourne there are scant places to go for a decent blast unless you drive there. I will be needing some variety of contraption to transport said bike in one piece rather than shove it sans wheels into the boot, which is a no no anyway as it has a strut brace across the boot and...

Has anyone used different hoses on their Magura's other than the stock black stuff. I see Jagwire do a range called HyFlow are these compatible or is the ID to much?

Just waiting for my Proflex decals to arrive from Gil, and was wondering from other members here who have had them off Gil, do you use soapy water and a squeegee to apply them, or do you put them straight on and hope for the best? I do a lot of decal applications in work (panel beating) and use...

Ok chappers and chappettes what we have here is a lovely condition, vintage 1995 Proflex Animal.... err no sorry it was a basket case. Always a sucker for a lost cause I saved this poor beast from the knackers yard some months ago. How I got it after a strip down bit of a build...
