As here as well - viewtopic.php?f=1&t=369691 Now, I know they existed, but can I find photos of them? Hell no. Ridgeback made a series of bouncy bikes in the late 90s with names like Cooler King and Mr White. Anyone else remember them? They handled like pigs on stilts. Do any photos exist?

Be sure to find time to visit The Gear Wizard. http://thegearwizard.com/ Stumbled upon this place after a simply brilliant day's skiing at Bridger Bowl, and it was like an Alladin's Cave of retroness! So much loveliness in one place! Gleaming old Kleins, some original Jim Blackburn racks...

Apparently the boyfriend has a number of them. Lucky chap! ;-)

Stems with a roller? Cooler than a penguin's pantry, if you ask me!

Yes, really, in Foggy Bottom, Washington DC. http://www.thebikeshopdc.com/history There's an amazing cabinet of curios (None for sale!) with such oddities as an original Kryptonite lock, some really early Look pedals and more. Worth a nose around if you find yourself in that part of DC.

Looky here Apologies if it's a genuine sale, of course, but........

Lovely! Anyone else stop and chat to people on retrobikes on their commute? Wonder if he'll look on here as I suggested....!

Have we reached a level where there are enough? OK, so it's maybe a UK thing that so many of us found MTBs through Saracens back in the day, but I reckon it's time for some real respect for the old Saracens! I mean, just look at how big the Early Saracen Lovers Anonymous thread has got...

Man was there a lot of retrometal being pedalled around London today! One of those old K2 frames with the pull shock, some ancient Condors and Marins and all manner of other retro goodness! Lovely to see so many people out enjoying just going for a ride!

Am thinking of doing up my 95 Marin as a singlespeed (I know, I know!) and at the moment it's running on some lovely amber walled, green Michelin Wildgripper Sprints. Would be good to have some more in stock. Only interested in the Semi-slick here! Anyone?

Hammertime! Classic video here!

Anyone remember X-Terra components? They popped up, very briefly, back in the heyday of anodized CNCed bling. I have some of their jockey wheels still, and seem to think I may even have a hub or two at the bottom of a box. Anyone else know anything about them?

Business trip to Amsterdam, so of course I opt to put a hire bike on the company card, rather than take taxis around town. Well, how else do you get around the 'Dam? So, I popped in to MacBike in Amsterdam Centraal, where one of the chaps had just finished building a lovely old Gazelle. I...

You remember them don't you? Made by Cosmic, Local Motion, that sort of thing. Muddy Fox had a paw print one for a while. So, why are there no pictures of them about?

Inspired by this thing of beauty! http://www.retrobike.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=38566 Anyone else have a love for the lovely things that Saracen churned out before they became a bit, well, dross? When they made the lovely Kilis, the even earlier Conquests, the E-stays and...

AKA Harrods! Some really nice old X-Lite stuff in their cabinet, including a NOS stem, one of those lovely old ones with holes in!

OK, so let's exclude any of those with an amazing provenance, such as the Tomac and Tinker's own rides of this world, but what about the bikes you could buy in the shop back in the day? Are any of them as yet, inflation etc adjusted, worth more now than they were then? Have we reached that point...

http://www.pinkbike.com/forum/listcomme ... &pagenum=1 OK, so there's a fair amount of the usual "Dood, that's dope!" kind of comments, but also some utter gems of the odder end of the spectrum! Including; I may know the whereabouts of a boxed set of these, need to check...
