Hi all, Having owned all manner of exotic retro bikes over the past decade, I’ve just come to the realisation that what I actually want is the bike I had from new in 1994; a Marin Pine Mountain, either in 17.5 or 19”. Either a complete bike or frame and rigid forks as I’ve git all the bits I...

Hi all, I’m having a comprehensive clearout of many of my favourite parts as I’ve finally persuaded myself that out of all the lovely retro bikes I’ve owned, I only “need” three of them. They are all listed with a “max £3 selling fee” so not much scope for reductions in general but if you...

The title says it all. If you know, please can you pass on your wisdom so I can fit my M952 cranks without scraping the chainstay. cheers, Matt

Looking for pretty much everything XT M760 wise including the “dual control” disc brake brifters. All in excellent condition please so I can do a period correct build on my Santa Cruz Blur to the same spec (more or less) mine had BITD Cheers, Matt

Looking to completely collection with issue 30 and 31 Not sure when it stopped but issue 37 is the last one I have so if you have any later copies I’d like these as well please. Cheers, Matt

Preferably silver in 32h in good condition. Cheers, Matt

Another rigid fork question. My ‘96 Bonty runs 60mm Judy’s. I’d like to know the equivalent a-c for a rigid fork. Early “susp corrected” frames for 40mm ish forks require a 410mm a-c rigid and when Pace bought out the RC30 with 425mm a-c that was to replace 80mm travel forks. So I’m guessing I’m...

... in very good condition for my Buck Shaver please.

... in very good condition for my Buck Shaver please. As part of my “Awesome Foursome” project in which I plan to build, ride and review my favourite 4 steel mtbs from the early to Mid-90’s (Dekerf, Bonty Race Lite, Buck Shaver and DOGSBOLX) I’m looking for some decent, but not too pricey...

... in very good condition for my Buck Shaver please. Thanks, Matt

I’m going to get some rigid forks made up by my local Frame builder for my 94 Buch Shaver. He’s done some of the Fat Chance styled ones for some other people and they look really good, right down to Campagnolo dropouts. My question is, does anyone know what diameter the legs should be? I...

I need these to go with my Critical Racing short cantis from circa 1994/5 To go on my Grello Yo Eddy What have you got? Cheers, matt

This is for my 2004 Santa Cruz Blur Ideally I’d like a Talas RLC in excellent condition but I’ll consider other Fox Forks from 2004 to 2006 in excellent condition Steerer need to be 1 1/8 straight and Around 200mm long Cheers, Matt

This is for my ‘96 Bonty Ti-lite. I’ve got a 26.8 x 350 Titec Ti post I was thinking of shimming but it’s not quite long enough to extend 25mm below the bottom of the top-tube, and it’s undersize. If it were undersize OR 350mm I’d probably go with it but nit both So I’m after a 27.0 x 400mm...

Preferably black please. Similar USA made rings may be considered also.

Either ready mixed or ingredients of how to mix my own please. Just to touch up some chips and chainsuck with a brush. Matching nail varnish colours will also be useful to know please. Cheers, Matt

I’ve bought loads of frames recently and these are the ones that don’t quite do it for me. I bought the Fat Chance Buck Shaver, Bontrager and Kona Explosif from here. The start price is the price I paid for them and any profits (if applicable!) over this I’ll split with the RB-er I bought them...

17” ish in tatty condition for repaint.

Hi, I’m after a 27.0 titanium seatpost for my Bonty Ti-lite. I’d prefer a titec but will consider others. Needs to be around 350mm and in good condition with no dents or crack, but I don’t mind something that needs a good clean and polish. I have a 26.8 Titec Ti to swap or just good old...

Not too fussed about spec or condition as long as there is no damage that can’t be polished out What have you? Could swap for some Race Face Turbines inc rings plus cash
