    1989 Panasonic Mountain Cat 6500

    I picked this little ripper up recently & was very happy with the score. I’ve felt a void ever since I foolishly relinquished my ‘89 Bridgestone MB-1 & this acquisition makes me feel whole again… sort of! At least now I have a bike that sits in that magical space between “not cool enough” & “too...

    Thanks @mk one, bloody legend! Where did you find that scan? I couldn't find it anywhere!

    No-one's able to provide any insight?

    Model year of my Panasonic MC-6500?

    OK brains trust, here’s a noodle scratcher… I’ve picked up a beautiful, hardly-used Panasonic Mountain Cat 6500 with a full Deore II groupset, Araya RM20 rims etc. (note; the saddle & tyres are not original, they’re from my parts bin!). My initial assumption was that it’d be an ‘89 model but...

    I picked up this 'barely-used' 15" '91 Apex last week. Nice little score!

    Wanted 135mm (?) e2e rear shock for Verlicchi FS Works frame

    I’m in need of a rear shock for an Ironhorse FS Works. I’m told the shock has a 135mm eye to eye length. I’m unsure of the stroke or mounting dimensions. Any assistance with this info would be greatly appreciated! Would love the original Marzocchi (A20?) shock but will consider anything that...

    Wanted Ringle Ti-Stix set - purple

    Send Improvepart an email. He seems to be getting production runs done often.

    Wanted Ringle Ti-Stix set - purple

    I recently bought these from Improvepart. They're amazing quality, so I've ordered another set of 3 skewers in black for my MC1 Backfire Attitude.

    Morati Ti 1 1/8” stem & 27.2 seatpost

    I recently picked up a garage queen for the mint M952 groupset & this post/stem combo was fitted. It’s not of real interest to me & I’d like to move them on to recoup some of the cost of purchasing the bike. Like the rest of the components, these 2 are in mint condition. Stem: - 1 1/8”/25.4 bar...

    Morati Ti stem & seatpost - what are they worth?

    I recently picked up a garage queen for the mint M952 groupset & this post/stem combo was fitted. It’s not of real interest to me & I’d like to move them on to recoup some of the cost of purchasing the bike. Like the rest of the components, these 2 are in mint condition. Stem: - 1 1/8”/25.4...

    ‘94(?) Muddy Fox Alu Ultra

    @joglo, thank you! You've sold the mystery for me!

    ‘94(?) Muddy Fox Alu Ultra

    Fresh pickup. Can’t find reference to this model anywhere but have deduced that it must be a ‘94 model because M737 only spanned ‘94/‘95 & this model isn’t in the ‘95 catalogue. Happy to be proven wrong though! Frame: Muddy Fox 7005 alloy Fork: Muddy Fox 7005 alloy unicrown Headset: Dia...

    Trimble Inverse 4

    This is how it looked when I took possession. Missing parts & rattle-can black… 🤦‍♂️

    Trimble Inverse 4

    I was stoked to find this ‘89 Trimble Inverse 4 (serial # 150, out of ~450 ever made) recently, even if it needed a LOT of work. I’d been looking for one for ~15 years! The frame was sound with no cracks or general damage. In fact, the bike had seen relatively little use in it’s ~34 years of...

    ‘93 Alpinestars Al-Mega E735

    I was stoked to find this beast in ‘hardly used, excellent condition recently. It’s never been off-road & still had the mold knobs on the slick tires it rolled off the shop floor on! Specs: Frame: - Easton Program 7000 series alloy - 18” size - 1 1/4” head tube Fork: - Rockshox Mag 10 - 1...

    Wanted RS-1 1" CSU &/or brake arch required

    I have an RS1 that I want to use on a current project but it has the wrong CSU configuration & a deformed brake arch. If you have either (or both) of the following, can you please PM me? 1) RS-1 brake arch - aftermarket (like the first image) or original (like the second image) 2) RS-1 Crown...

    '93 Giant Cadex CFM 1 (M900)

    Here's my completely original & lightly used '93 CFM 1. I was stoked to find this a few years back. It's been hanging in the shed for some time & I had an opportunity recently to bring it down, dust it off & take a few images. Specs: Frame: - Giant Cadex, Carbon tube, alloy lug, 17" Fork: -...
