Anyone?

Bit of a mongrel, but here goes. I have this Reflex ALX 6000 I'm considering putting up for sale. I've been out of the scene for so long I really don't know what this might fetch nowadays. The frame's this eccentric sort of lugged Easton aluminum tubed thing, internal cable routing, machined...

Oh to rediscover this thread after all these years! Like finding one's childhood :D Good times were had in the early 2010's, that's for sure! Fast forward, what, seven years?! Geez. Did a stint of work practise as an mtb guide on Tenerife and after graduation I spent a year guiding sea...

Re: Pm'd! Second in line pls :)

Re: -93 Cinder Cone with disc tabs brazed on reporting in here! Kind of concur with the previous posts - if you want to positively rip on trails you might be better served putting the money towards a used modern hardtail. That said though, I absolutely LOVE my Kona the way it is now and...

What's the A-C on those exotic forks? :D

Re: Thanks for the knowledge guys! Price drop to £80! I think this is a 1 1/8th crown with a shim judging by the photo of the crown race area, which looks like a shim going into the crown... Not sure though as I haven't taken them apart!

These have now become superfluous due to my current bike sporting a 1 1/8'' headtube. Good usable condition but in no way pristine. I'd put this on a daily driver. Noticable chrome pitting on the right leg. The crown has some marks as pictured, the biggest gripe being that some doofus has...

Re: PM!

Re: Henristig's '93 Clockwork, in its glory days! More of it (and more) here; viewtopic.php?f=6&t=275892&start=10

Hi fellow retrobikers! There's a beatiful Carrera e-stay that I'd want to get but unfortunately the seller is unable to box it up and ship it to Finland for me. I'd be over the moon if some kind soul could help me collect and ship it over (I've used parcel2go before and they've been cheap and...

Price drop

Hi lads! There's an interesting looking Kona up for sale locally. It appears to be a 92-93 Kona decalled Niihau. Having done some research I've found the Niihau was a Finnish special; higher end leftover frames were painted randomly and kitted out with mediocre kit and sold as Niihau, and...

price drop type bump!

Re: Thanks guys! I'm actually pretty happy with how the cheapo gripshifters function. They will of course break at some point (I've mangled loads of those in my youth), and then they'll get replaced by a Sachs pair! Thanks for the intel secret_squirrel, never was much of a gripshift fan myself...

Re: Many thanks for the advice guys! Ok, so inspired by your comment, Titirintero, we went out to see the Trek yesterday, and to my surprise the bike far surpassed my expectations - not to mention my fiancés'! She's always been picky when it comes to bikes and she's never had anything fit her...

Re: Thanks for your suggestions guys! :) I tried selling her on a diamond shape last summer but to no avail :facepalm: Found this nice little 16'' Kona Hahanna which I thought would suit her perfectly but she thought otherwise. She felt too stretched out on it as she's used to sit...

Hello lads! It's been a pipedream for years now, but the bicycle hobo lifestyle is finally about to become a reality! :D This fall my fiancé and I are setting out on an epic bike adventure. Starting from our home in southern Finland we will ride through the Baltic states and eastern Europe to...
