What kind of bike or frame is this and what was the original suspension fork? 1997 it was pretty uncommon to have a 100mm suspension fork as we typically had RS Judy and other forks with 60 or 80mm travel at max, exepct some DH double crown forks. Just the introduction of the Z1 Bomber was...

Hi, I came across this two pictures. To me this looks like an very early Litespeed catalog or leaflet. Maybe even before 1990 and the catalogs we do have in the Archive? https://www.retrobike.co.uk/archive/categories/litespeed.3/ Any guess about the date, 1988-1989? (The Porsche 928 at the...

great finally this is now working also for me (or dummies) and goes way beyond my expectations. I've picked already my favorite, the yellow Pesenti from 1990.

great stuff, just I do struggle a bit to browse mountain bikes at your website. I do only see a limited number of bikes in a conterminously and fast playing rotation. Is there any chance to see more bikes, with more and larger pictures per bike and without a fast playing animation? Or can you...

good story, I do like in particular this pic here You have overdone a bit the "Ride in Style!" marketing claim from Scott

I was also guessing year 2000 just think that also the both upper numbers are there for a good reason. XCF obviously the model name, maybe 16 was a number for the variant and Bi or maybe Bj could stand for the date? Bj is very often used in German speaking countries for "Baujahr" = model year...

this looks like a Fizik Nisene

This one has an similar frame, and comes with a cheap RS Jett from 1999 (but in wrong direction :rolleyes:) https://www.subito.it/biciclette/bicicletta-kastle-traction-900-brescia-603407293.htm And there is another one like your frame...

it seem to be rather around year 2000, and was not included in the line-up information i do have at hand for up to 1998, also the remaining components like the XT750 cranks and the SID are from 1999 or 2000. They had been also similar full suspension bikes with a similar style from frame...

Great build 👍 I do love especially one detail, the rear cable bridge and tool for the cantilever brakes Just checked, there seem to be a bit of variation on this detail over years. Galli has shown this full suspension design already in 1992, at least with a different tool for the cable...

Yeah, I also have seen some for disc only. but never got hands on something exclusive like this... They must have been become available not before End of nineties. 1997 HED brochure wasn't including them

wasn't Sunn using the name "brute" end of the 90ties as brand name for their components like stems?

BTW: not sure where this nice picture has its origin, but it describes perfectly well how Bike designers seem to work 🤣 I think the designer of this bike from a brand called Leonardo had apparently same ideas still on sale in German Classifieds...

both ugly, strange and on the other hand a bit interesting at the same time :LOL: A bike at the first glance a bit similar like the Alex was offered around Millenium also from the Volkswagen accessory group There are different spec versions, up to dual crown fork and spengle wheels The other...

looks to me like this model called Zagato from 1994, just the decals of the model name seem to be removed It was one of the low price or entry level models, and used cheap components and wheelset are something I would personally not recommend to buy or ride.

The seatpost seems to be correct as it is, it's a bit of an issue with that design that you can not lower the seatpost too much, because it will collide than with the moving rear triangle.

that seem to be correct, e.g. there was a frame offered for sale two years ago, looks very close to yours. https://www.retrobike.co.uk/threads/alpinestars-cro-mega-d735-frame-1993.468339/ It's a nice frame, CroMo with True temper tubing for main frame and Tange for the rear. Something which is...

upfront, Disraeligears has still a bit of documenation https://www.disraeligears.co.uk/site/precision_billet_derailleurs.html With that Proshift logo at the parallelogram it's 3rd gen, roughly 1996 Wrt the value, just could share some references: I have bought recently one of those in a bit...
