Depending on pull ratio you can adjust arm length on front mech by cable route filing or in this case drilling a new cable hole. In the end I had too many gears I didn’t use so have gone to 2 by 8 the 3 Lh brifter is now set to low trim and high using the original cable routing for the lx mech

Here’s my attempt 95/96 Marin not sure which model originally, kona project 2 forks 700c mutant stem rsx brifters modified lx mech to work with the brifters…….not sure if it’s not the done thing mixing kona and marin?

Holdsworth professional/competition 24” seat tube short wheel base so looks bigger than it is. £240 Various components Allez crank shimano brake callipers dual pivot. Suntour gears. Plan was to build it up all campagnolo but it’s a little bit big for me. Although I have done a good few hundred...

Hi I recently bought frame number ll93773 and am hoping you have some information about it. Thanks in advance for your help

Above pic was from the auction turns out its a 1996 Point Reyes ( identified in the other group) I managed to get it riding from spare bits in stock. Very nice ride very much a scaled up 1996 mountain bike or a flat bar 2022 gravel bike with a better range of gears. I had to lose the grip...

Well spotted thanks spent ages looking for a match, must be the only time grip shift was fitted on a better quality bike although proper SRAM made grip shift seems quite good compared to the later cheaper version s

Spec looks like 1994/5 with Marin lite cantilever brakes with Richey brake levers, Shimano LX front rear mech an LX hubs with 19mm Mavic rims, Marin lite stem frame is 7000 series aluminium fork marked as "triple butted" Seat tube is 22" wheels 700c but being aluminium it doesn't match any of...

Recently bought an non lacquer aluminium Marin with some nice Mavic wheels and deore LX components and am trying to pin down a date I thought 1998 but I don't think they made an aluminium one until 2003 looking at the few post 97 catalogues I can find? Brake s look 94/95 It's definitely a Marin...

I have one on a hand made french technicycle rides very well

Having been riding a prst1 and prst4 for a few years now. I find I prefer the prst1 I putting this down to how worn the shocks are. At some point I will swap the shocks just to see as the only othermain difference seems to be the rear linkage? Anyone else find this? Absolutely great cross...

Completely forgot about that post, a deal was done it rides well I have to be careful cornering as toe front wheel/ mud guard overlap is a bit close. It does climb well. I used period components which I think hides some of the frames potential.

I have seen some reproduction team jerseys from the 90's that standout a a really nice colorful designs. I like to go for bright colours when riding around on the road so driver's see me I don't go for the stealth black look as to me as a car driver also think its just plain dangerous. What's...

Well spotted yes it does appear to be a race number tag takes a 5mm screw by the looks of it. I suspect it was a custom build. I am not sure if the forks are original or an update for steel or aluminium. The builder has a web site that shows his work and history. He made Jeannie Longo's hour...

A few months back I bought a random nice looking (to me) aluminium frame mainly for the 1" carbon forks. The original Cannondale I was buying parts for project got shelved for building this up. It rides really well very nicely balanced. And not too harsh like the early Cannondale. I have...

That's great thank you, i found my mountain bikes. Just the road bike cr1 brochure to find?

Has anyone got a 2004/5 Scott catalogue or brochure scan pdf please? I have a few scott bikes from around then and would love to see the original brochures. I have looked and can find most catalogue s from before 2000 and after 2008 Thanks in advance

I just saved a 95 Gary Fisher from recycling, which has got me thinking when is a Gary fisher classed as having had the man's input and when is it just a badged generic bike? I have a 97/98 set up as a pub bike and it rides really well.

What do you think? not so sure about the girvins but they ride much better than the Mag 21's

anyone know of a current supplier of the above decals for a Raleigh bomber about to do a very similar restoration.....

Re: It is definitely getting a repaint as white and rust oily rag does not really do it for me. I have an oily rag 30's bike that ticks that box. This will get Shimano 605 brifters 42mm tyres and compact gearing. I am trying to work out if drilling holes for rivnuts is a bad thing to do...
