    2009 Brooklyn Machine Works Park Bike v2

    Stunner! The combination of parts is just perfect. I've owned several cars worth less than those pedals :D

    Saddles - what else is there apart from Flites/Selle Italia that are cool/retro/

    I'll be the odd one out and suggest a Koobi Au Enduro. I still have one that I've been riding since 1999 and several other Koobi's that I love. It was the first saddle I used that I still found comfortable after a full day of riding.

    Dekerf Team SL build

    I've also seen lots with the logo on the fork - it must be a Dekerf option. I'm sort of split on the look. The matching fork makes the package a bit too monochromatic in some ways, but I do like that it's true to Dekerf's original aesthetic options. I'm sure it will look awesome either way.

    Norwegian" Intense M1 Shaun Palmer Tribute bike "NOT the USA Flag bike" :)

    My M1 also lives among Trek Y's (although neither as nice as that) - You have excellent taste in bikes sir.

    All things Canadian.....

    It's still a beauty though! Love that pale blue with the blacked out wheelset 👍

    Dekerf Team SL build

    Beauty - I think RF cranks would pair well with the Z2

    Specialised FST Comp

    I used an cheap ($10) Amazon rear disc adapter on a slightly later model FSR and it worked well: FSR rear disc by Rented Mule, on Flickr I don't have a better picture of the brake setup, but it was easy.

    1999 Jamis Komodo - satisfying zero $ refurb

    I bought a 1999 Komodo sight-unseen from the original owner for the equivalent of 45 pounds and had it dropped at a relative's garage a while back. It looked ok in pictures and had good parts (XT/XTR), but it was in rough shape. It was covered in a fine black overspray from when he had painted...

    Spinergy RevX

    They list at around $500-600 USD on Ebay and they seem to sell in most of the auctions I watch. I think you'd be on the higher end of that scale with the condition and adapter.

    Specialised FST Comp

    I'm pretty sure D521's can be used with rim brakes, so you could rebuild them onto non-disc hubs if you wanted. You could also just run them with rim brakes as-is without changing the hubs and retain the option to swap to discs later if you wanted. I really like those FSR's, good luck with the...

    Wanted Schwalbe Nobby Nic 26 x 2.25 bronze sidewall

    I know these exist, but I cannot find them... Anyone know a source? The 26x2.4 version I have doesn't quick clear the chainstays on my Dekerf and I would very much like the 2.25 to match the front tire. I'd also consider another bronze Schwalbe with an aggressive tread pattern (not a Billy...

    So many bike sites seem to loathe "retro". Why?

    I see a lot of similarities between retro vs. modern bikes and retro vs. modern cars. I race a modern sports car with piles of HP, independent suspension, and lots of electronic nannies to prevent my untimely death. I love it. Last week I drove my 30 year old 'muscle car' with a solid rear axle...

    Marzocchi Z1 - aftermarket crown/steerer pics

    I'm still rocking the OEM brace on mine, but yours looks awesome! 20250703_182504 by Rented Mule, on Flickr

    Which BB for Profile Racing cranks?

    2.5 months later and I finally have the cranks installed - good thing I don't get paid by the hour. I used a 68 mm Euro BB with a 6" gun drilled hollow (GDH) chromoly axle. That length worked fine, with lots of spindle engagement on the arms, but a 6.25 would have been optimal. I needed to...

    intense uzzi sl barn find is it worth fixing up

    I'm not qualified to give an unbiased opinion :) but I'd say that's worth fixing up. If I saw one listed locally, I'd have it.

    Rather Nice DeKerf Package 18.5" - Warwickshire

    Beauty of a bike markjohnson76. Interesting to see a Middleburn crank on it - I was thinking about using one on my Implant but wasn't sure if it would fit with the DeKerf theme. It integrates with the over all look perfectly IMHO.

    Dekerf Team SL build and Q’s

    Oops, I meant to say the seatstay bridge!

    Dekerf Team SL build and Q’s

    Drool-worthy! What's the bolt for in the underside of the chainstay bridge? Fender?

    eBay: Up the Swanee?

    I have almost completely stopped buying from US sellers on Ebay. Maybe decreasing interest in US goods is affecting the wider market (or US buyers are also less interested in international buying)?

    Wow - great find! It certainly looks like that Poulidor from the images popping up on Google. Thanks!
