The rims are 117s, not 217s - They're still very nice though

I think those Speed Dial 5 brake levers are designed for V-Brakes - They will probably work with cantilevers but if braking isn't as good as you hoped for, maybe change them. I started a discussion here about the different Avid levers...

Run out of time today, but I have the PDF files and will upload each page individually. It's too big to upload as one PDF.

It might not follow the patterns, but its pretty common. I've got examples of MA, MC, ME, MH, MJ, MK and MT numbers from confirmed Marin frames.

Frame number indicates 1998, so your Shimano codes all match up with this. Also explains why it isn't in the 1997 catalogue.

Dad's 1997 Giant Track Expert also has a threaded headset https://www.retrobike.co.uk/threads/1998-giant-track-expert.485642/ What's the frame number on this ATX 850?

Quite a few of the parts have been swapped on that Carrera, but I'd be interested in the frame number if you can find it! Thanks!

Pop up the frame number too. That should give the date and factory info.

I'm pretty sure the stem is original. I'll try to remember to get a decent photo to add here.

Yes it's staying purple. It's a nice colour in the sunshine, doesn't look so great in my photo though. It does look a lot better now cleaned and wiped down, the shine has returned.

From the frame number it's a 1992 frame, most TC prefix bikes on here are Schwinn, but there is also a Ridgeback.

From the frame number, that'd be a 1996 frame. Thanks for sharing it.

1994 at a guess from the frame number, it's only the second TC prefix I've seen - the other was this Schwinn Moab also this month - TC40700569 Quite likely from the same factory. https://www.retrobike.co.uk/threads/5-yard-sale-find-1995-schwinn-moab-17%E2%80%9D.499055/

Thanks guys. I found that my wheels have very thick rim tape. Tyres are much easier to fit when the rim tape is off, so I might get some Velox tape and try that instead of the rubber stuff. Failing that, I'm considering getting some different wheels.

Thanks @Salona96 your bike is an excellent example of what I'm looking for. The frame number is March 1996, and like other early Barracuda bikes it has an 'F' number - possibly Fairly built. This is the same factory that produced Alpinestars, Coyote and Rudy Project bikes. It looks pretty...

And share the frame number too please. I don't have any Ridgebacks on my list yet.

Just so the search engines can pick it up, and I'll get notifications, frame number is M0K09751

What size is it you need? 15 or 20mm and what width? Is the disc brake side leg threaded for the axle?

Flip it upside down and check the frame number!

Brake is an Avid BB7, with a genuine Avid Post mount and Avid rotor. I'm not sure on the fork as it's a bit newer than the Bombers I'm used to seeing. It doesn't look big or beefy enough to my eye to be a 66 though.
