Has anyone got a definitive date when 3TTT Status stems were released to market? Pic for reference

As per the title please.

A story which I’ve already told on here regarding how I ordered one of these from new sometime around late 1990 from my local Raleigh dealer. A short version of the story is that it took so long for me to save the £649 in 1990/91 that by the time the shop owner decided to order the frameset...

I’ve had a soft spot for French carbon frames since their inception. TVT were the first to master the concept, and then Look continued where TVT dwindled their interest. TVT were unique in their construction, using a knitted sock like a stockinette for their carbon tubes, that was fed onto a...

I’m no stranger to Marin’s Titanium offerings, but it’s been a good while since I built up my last one. I’ve had this one sat patiently waiting for longer than I can remember now. In fact, I don’t even recall where it came from! I stripped all its decals and prepped the scuffed and faded surface...

30 years of yearning this precise build is finally over. Influenced by watching my hero, Greg Lemond using one in the 91 TDF. It was a dream that carried into early 93, and the only changes I made to that dream were the updated rear mech, and the new Ergopower levers. I did run Time Titan...

See here... viewtopic.php?f=21&t=348117&hilit=Marin B-17, Wildcat Trail, and DH FRS are the same. There were three main variants for ease... 165mm Shock 190mm Shock (maybe even 185mm I’m getting old) 200mm Shock Front ends are not compatible between models, but the rear swing arms are fully...

Does anybody know for sure what BB length was used on the 2003/4 Campagnolo Carbon Record square taper cranks? I think it’s 102mm, but there’s a small niggle of doubt in the back of my mind somewhere. Cheers

I was wondering if anyone knew whether Action-Tec was still trading in Silverado, California? I’ve used their Titanium BB’s for many years without issue, and I’ve recently acquired a Merlin Titanium that needs a different length, and taper BB. My ‘go-to’ would have been Action-Tec but every...

As per the title, it's got to be ISO taper for Campagnolo, and I'm hunting 102mm. The other option is one that's got a central collar or sleeve to keep the bearings in place such as Royce or Hope, and I'll machine it back to a straight 17mm diameter. Thanks

I've been loosely interested in having a few choice parts Pantographed lately. I've seen that somebody had some relatively modern Campagnolo cranks done with the Campagnolo shield which I thought looked great (but I can't remember where I saw it on here, or who it was). As my Delta brakes are...

A new project that's been bubbling in the background has just started to become a bit more real. This has just been delivered... It took me about 20 minutes to unwrap it as it had been so well protected for its journey here. It's not been as easy to find as I would have imagined. My brief...

If I wind the clocks back to 1990 for the beginning of this project, I was 18, studying my A levels, and riding more than I should have been. My enthusiasm for the sport had really taken hold, and I was feverishly absorbing as much information about what would make me faster and allow me to last...

I really can't remember when I bought this, who, or where I bought it from - somewhere in the US, and probably from eBay I think. It seems to have been patiently hanging from various nails and hooks around the garage for ages. It's only very recently that I started to picture what the completed...

I've tried and failed on this search. I'm after a 110pcd outer ring in purple 3DV. It can be 46/48T. What you got people? Thanks

Rock Shox SID 2004 World Cup 80mm travel with full carbon crown and 201mm steerer. These are the 28mm stanchion version, and weigh a very respectable 1360g with the lockout lever. There are Titanium canti studs or disc tabs. I used these forks extensively on my Mount Vision Pro for a couple of...

Based on the fantastic feedback I got with the single pivot Mount Vision Pro from 1998'ish era (seen here... viewtopic.php?f=21&t=112170 ), I pondered on what the other models in the range would ride like. After a few false starts and several bikes later, I considered myself educated enough to...

So, a good few months back I was passing Martin's (HarryCrumb) house and popped in for a cuppa and a catch up. It's always a bit surreal when you're in a tight space with him and 50+ bikes - I mean, there's just so much to take in. Sometimes I end up in there for over an hour and miss whole...

This has just been taken into the fold this week. I'd been looking at them since their release, but dare not commit to the price tag they usually carry. However, this came up relatively cheaply, and I just couldn't resist. As soon as it arrived, I began swapping over the 'unacceptable' bits for...
