I do believe,that it's a brilliant idea converting old parts/bits to something useful -and a beer-bottle opener is really indispensable... 8)

Sure it is -and the user(me)prefers lubrication... :) I have several bottle-openers,but this is my absolute favourite!

A present from my mate -who runs the nearby retro-bike shop&service 8) OK,it's not an MTB part,but something special:hand-craft converted from a DuraAce crank(make of year B B,it means February 1977) This tool was proven recently: it works perfectly! :lol: Guess what is it for!

On miscellaneous terrain we use trekking "class" bikes,wheelsize 27" or 28" -so I have the most experience with such tires. MTB/ATB cycles comes only in hilly or sometimes in real mountain regions(the nearest Transsylvanian-mountains are only 70 miles from here) -or in thick snow just over the...

more Scott The name is Scott USA,but the bike was made in Taiwan

Not too many Scott bikes pop up here,so let me present my latest buy. Quite in a good shape -has just a few tiny scratches.Technically absolutely OK:rides as a new,shifters (Sh. Deore) and brakes(Sh.SLR canties) work nicely. All parts are from 1989(the year of make is stamped in the stem and in...

"In steel we trust..." Yes,it's a steel-framed bike. Numerous cycle-producents ordered/order complete framesets from Taiwanese makers,that's how bikes of different brands could became "relatives". Or simply in the last years of ninetees that kind of design was a fashionable solution...

laser-effect decals My wife and the girls in my family like this bike not only for how it looks,but also for how it rides -quite a massive construction built of "good old" German steel 8) By the way: Winora-Staiger (maybe these names/this company well-known only in continental Europe) runs a...
