Hello

Hey all,

I have been mountain biking since 1993, and love it! My first mountain bike, which I and friends still ride, is a 1991 GT Talera/All Terra. It is white with grey squiggly lines :?: Not one of the most expensive/lightest bikes around, but it is solid and has treated me right through the years! :D

I recently upgraded to a full suspension 2003 Giant VT-One. I love this bike, even though the frame size (XL) is waaaay to large me! This bike takes whatever I throw its way, on or off the road!

I have a few projects I am working on. The first, is my 1985/86 Mountain Klein. It has the original Shimano 600 Headset and Cro-Mo fork. The derailluer cables are internally routed through the square chainstay. The rear brake is a Suntour XC-Power Cunningham Design Roller Cam, I believe :oops: I was planning to build it up with an XC-Comp group. This is my first project, so I am very open to any suggestions! :)

My other project is my 1992 Klein Rascal, which I obtained from here! :D I was originally planning on an XT group, which I have, but now I am considering a Campy build. So anyone who has any Campy Euclid or Record-OR parts/group they are willing to part with, please let me know.

I also have a 1984 Fuso, by Dave Moulton. I am trying to piece it back to an all Campy build. It currently has all Campy, except for the Shifters, Derailluer, and cassette, which are Dura-Ace. I have the Campy Super Record Shifters and Campy Pat. 1984 Derailluer replacement, just need the rear Campy Cassette. It has Suntour Superbe brakes, and am considering replacing these as well, but...

Well I am glad I stumbled across this site, it is wonderful and full of great information and insight, especially for a newbie like myself. Again, if anyone has any suggestions or tips, please feel free to share.

Gt Talera

Here are some pics of my GT Talera. I believe it is a 1991. There are two sets of serial numbers stamped on the BB :?: the first set is: H1A6 552, the H1A6 is stamped on the drive side of the BB and the 552 is stamped on the other side. The second set of numbers is stamped on the non-drive side and read: S691.

If someone has knowledge regarding GT's and I am mistaken about the year I would love to know.

there's a "introduce yourself" sticky for this that may get more attention...

Oops

I was in the "introduce yourself" forum, I just didn't realize there was a part II, my bad :oops: Thanks for the warm welcome :wink:

I will post some pics of the Mountain Klein frame and fork later this weekend, my batteries died when I went to take a few shots :(

I also found a new edition to my collection, a 1996 Team Klein Attitude, which I will post pics of as well.

Have a great weekend!

Hi all, this should prob be in the Introduce Yourself thread but that looked as if it had gone a bit off subject.
I'm just clocking up my first post so I can add to the 1991 Clockwork thread.

bye for now!
 
Hi there Psychedout99, Looks like you hike and bike the same trails I do.

If you are interested in a Cunningham designed Nishiki frame, it is yours. It is too small for me.

PM me at shovelon.
