Have seen these on other forums, Facebook pages etc, and I wonder who would be keen? Something like, buy a POS bike, rusty as type thing, and build it into rideable condition to complete an agreed number of miles/KM's in a certain period of days, spending no more than an agreed amount. For...

Hi guys, I had a Raleigh Bomber a couple of years ago, I sold it, which I really regret doing, I am wondering if anyone on here has one, or likes them too? Mine was not a 3 speed IGH but a 5 speed derailleur model, of which I have not seen much of. I will hopefully own another at some stage...

As title suggests lads, anyone know what size post I need to find? I got the frame by itself and want to build it up, only going with XT but it will not be an original build anyway. Thanks

I am not out to start a thread that may have been done numerous times before! I am setting up a workshop in a corner downstairs and want to have my tool board on the back of my work bench, and shelves on one side which I will build. I plan to have a flouro light above it, and just wonder how...

I have a 92 Muirwoods that I want to backdate to a 91, as I like that Zolotone Grey with the Neon Green over the Black and Neon Yellow I have wanted a 91 since I was 14, and came across the frame I have was hand painted Blue over the original paint, so it needs repainting anyway. Will upload a...

Walking some kids home from school and one of the Mums says "I have a bike sitting under my house do you want it?" I say "Yes please!" Go over tonight to get it and it was this GT in very original condition.

Viewing who is online at a glance I notice a few names with bot after them, I am having a dumb moment? What are they?

I got this frame/fork free when buying a GT frame/fork. Never seen one before, can not turn up any info online either, a real puzzler? Anyone? Cheers.

Hey lads, I have a couple of bikes the are in need of repainting and I really do not want to pay for original paint jobs and I am thinking of rattle can painting them, I am thinking I will go Matt paint(not black), I am thinking the likes of army green and tans but also stuff like red or maybe...

I have a '97 Rockhopper and a set of Rockshox XC32's and I am wondering how much around 40mm rise in front end height will hurt the feel/config of the bike, I got the fork cheap it is the 2015 model and unused, checked other retro bikes and the hike in top tube height with some is up around the...

I have 2 Specialized Hardrock's one 87 the other an 88, the 88 is complete minus wheels and too small for me. The 88 on the other hand was found in a hedge. When the hedge was being removed so we could build a fence, the hedge was 8 foot tall and very deep and dense in foliage, cutting the...

Only wanted one since about '94!! Only Frame and Fork at this stage?! It is 520km's (around 320miles) away at the moment I should have it by the end of the month. Hardest thing is going to be trying to find a Shimano U Brake, I do not have any Shimano DX mechs but do have XT and LX so I will be...

Hey guys I have a 92 Rockhopper, that was given to me with the condiion that if I wanted it gone that it was gifted to someone else.

Hey guys, I bought a frame on an auction site over here in NZ, it was said to be a Team Marin dating to '91-'92. So I get it home and as always try to get the BB out . . . . 2 years later its out, this frame was nearly thrown away about 4 times, for some reason I kept it. I used a longer pipe...

Hey guys I have not been on here in ages, have not been mucking around with much bike stuff until about 3 months ago, when I actually went to my storage facility, to remember what I had, sifted through some stuff and took a few bikes either too small or too large for me to the bike shop I work...

Hey Guys I am wondering weather the Bolinas Ridge frame set was any good? I know all Marin's of the 90's were nice, what I mean is how far up the pecking order the Bolinas sat? I have a Blue one and want to rebuild and maybe repaint, is it worth it? Thanks
