    For Sale 1992/1993 Bradbury Manitou Frame/Rear Hub/FD/ and more!

    That sounds like what I would expect. Answer was making those in 92 for the 93 season but Answer wasn't making the hard tails yet. The last of the 7005 hard tails made in Colorado were built over the winter between 92 and 93 and partially used to work out the design for the new answer frames...

    For Sale 1992/1993 Bradbury Manitou Frame/Rear Hub/FD/ and more!

    Early 92 is probably correct but the HT frames were still made in Colorado into 93. Answer was probably building 93 FS frames in 92 but the HT came later. Some of the last HT frames had 135 rear ends and 78mm bb shells like the answer bikes. That M-900 front derailleur was first available to the...

    Complete 17.5" Haro Extreme Black Lava NOS

    This was my first new mountain bike, even the same color and size. Bought it on closeout from some ad in the pages of Mountain Bike Action for $550. Switched out the fork to a Tange Switchblade, put Cook Bros cranks on it, got an sr "the pipe" stem, an onza rigormortis seatpost and a porcupine...

    Mountain Cycle Retro Tribute

    I built this up around 2010. I was trying to give it a retro look with the thumbshifters. The frame is a little bit older than the parts.

    Who made e-stays

    They were reformed. The inside too for chain clearance. cut and brazed back together. A clue that the wide rear spacing might not have been original? or someone wanted to run a seven speed cassette and needed more clearance for boots? Maybe it was the inspiration for the dual tire snow bike they...

    What’s this frame? Ritchey/Bonty? Something crap?

    kona had an easton bike with similar paint. but it's a little different. Could be a house brand like access and that's why someone removed the decals. https://www.retrobike.co.uk/threads/kona-ku-1996-stars-and-bars.309698/

    Who made e-stays

    Here's a rare one. The seatpost was seized for the last 10 years or more and it was mangled at the end. It was one of those projects I was putting off but I just got it out today. I'm not real sure what it is. I thought it was a cross bike but the brakes are positioned to fit a 26" wheel...

    is this worth keeping?

    It has a welded on chain guard tab so it's some sort of low end department store bike. Probably better to give it to a kid to ride.

    Ringle Bubba Freewheel Hub question.

    I wouldn't mess around with freewheels at all. M900 came out in 92 for factory teams and 93 for retail. Super8 bubba hubs followed soon after that I think. If I was putting together a bike as nice as your adroit sounds I would spend the little extra and get it how it would have been built at the...

    Lightweight flat pedals

    If its not a trail bike anymore get some graftons for it. They are pretty easy on the feet without the clips and will look cool on the fat chance. There weren't a lot of mountain bike companies making flat pedals at the time. Most were made for toe clips or clipless. I think odyssey made some...
