    2000 Marin East Peak build

    Ive never owned a full suspension bike but after riding a friends modern one I was secretly impressed. I did a bit of reading and several bikes made the possibles list but had to be 26er and retro , a specialized fsr, Kona sex, or a Marin would be ideal. I really do like disc brakes so that was...

    Orange Gringo, what have I done?

    In the interests of trying to keep fit this winter I decided that I should build a winter proof bike. It needed to be alloy, disc ready and very cheap. I have some Hope wheels in 27.5 and some 27.5 100mm travel forks so a 27.5 frame was probably best. I found an Orange Gringo on eBay, locally...

    Marzocchi z3 advice

    I’ve got a 1998 Z3 light fork that has the fs disc mount. I know an adapter is available now thanks to DrZocchi but I can buy a 2000 model year z3 left lower with IS mount for a lot less and they need paint anyway. Does anyone know if I could just swap the left leg?

    1997 Kona Cinder Cone Disc conversion

    I thought I’d do a separate post for the Cinder cone build, my other thread was getting messy so I apologise in advance for any repeats. I wanted to do a retro mod build and that’s where this bike came in. Initially I thought this bike was too good and original to do that so I got a Hahanna...
