    Need Help IDing a early Klein Pinnacle/Rascal?

    So I just scored a old Klein today. I thought from the pictures that is was just a faded 1989 Pinnacle. But now I have it home and am confused. It appears to have a faded classic sunburst paint job. It has chainstay brakes mounts. Original Spinner fork. But then the serial number is R716 Klein...

    1990 Cannondale SM700 cruiser project

    Recently I scored a severely worn SM700 in my size. Couldn't resist. Reminded me of the 90s when my main ride for many years was a 1990 SM2000. The frame is pretty solid though it is missing the fork. Need to sort that out. Also need to find a wheelset with a 130 rear. This project will take...

    1991 Alpinestars Cro-Mega DX old shovel

    Recently decided to make a return to retrobikes. Given the end of racing due to COVID and a recent bike crash I started looking around for early 90s bikes. So far I picked up a few things including a pair of 91 Alpinestars E-stays. Today arrived a Cro-Mega DX. Pretty much complete except a fork...

    1991 Marin Limited Edition Road Bike

    Today a unicorn quest of mine is looking pretty good. Found a rainbow 1991 Marin Limited Edition in my size and pretty local on Craigslist, and cheap. Can't believe my luck. It pretty sun faded but doesn't look too bad since its already a rainbow paint job. Little crunchy in the BB.

    2004 Ventana El Martillo

    Just got a 58cm Ventana El Martillo road frame, before then used that name for their cyclocross frames. I was curious if any members here have had one of these frames and would share some pictures. Not sure how I'm going to build it up yet, except for a old Kestrel fork. Cheers

    1992 GT Zaskar LE

    Just got a frame from my dreams back in the Summer of 1992. Had a good deal on a pretty used Zaskar. Serial says it was built in June of 1992. That very month I was 16 riding a road bike across Oregon. At night this was one of the bikes I dreamed about on that trip. Anyways now trying to think...

    1983 Stumpjumper Sport Klunker project

    Finally found a old Stumpy in my size. Not planning a full retro build but something inspired by the period. Would like it to be a fun fireroad klunker. Don't have much parts in the ways of parts yet. Would like to do a M700 XT deer head drivetrain. Any one else on retro have any early stumpys?

    1986 Cannondale SM600

    Crazy thing. Was thinking about how bad I wanted a 86 SM700 and bam one pops local to me on craigs in my size! It is rider but well maintained. All the original Suntour stuff is there. The only weird thing is in the catalog it is a 24 inch rear wheel. This one is 26 and appears to be original...

    1994 Barracuda A2V

    Just got this beauty of a A2V. Not sure what I'm doing with it as it is 18 and I need 19-20. But love it. I was hoping someone could confirm some history I have been reading. Barracuda's original owners operated from 92-95 and then sold it to Ross. But before that in 1995 they started having...

    1995 Norco Team Issue (Chromag cruiser build)

    Finally found a old Norco in my size after 4 years of looking. This one is a bit rough but will do for cruising the town and some light XC riding. So far I'm hanging a bunch of old spare Chromag parts on it. Also a Mantiou X-vert. Not sure about drivetrain yet, either SRAM 9 speed or SS. Its a...

    1991 Specialized Epic?

    Would like some confirmation on the year of my frame. Steel lugs and carbon tubes. I believe it is a 1991? I just scored this old warrior. Cracked chainstay but still a looker for the wall. Any help appreciated.
