My MTB's are all retro, newest is the DBR TT which is a '95 with '96 forks and groupset.

I keep saying I'll buy a modern XC FS but procrastinating over the decision of which one and keep buying more retro tat .

My road bike is new (2005) and I have a 2007 Cross bike on the way, fingers crossed.

A 575, you know you want one

tha new carbon yeti is a sexy thing i just cant justify new bike prices or frame for that matter! as for retro with medern kit i guess my boty ss has modern marzocchis and brakes on it!

 

[development_cycle]

Me too, A '95 S Works FSR, a '95 Stumpy FSR on the way, and building an Orange X1 for a mate, so no modern's at all. Oh and the old '89 Bear Valley, forgot about her

Got rid of my XTR Epic - it didnt even get ridden...

My mtb's are retro. My Pinarello Rombo for regular use, although some retro parts have been 'downgraded' for newer ones. Still have a dale sm700 frame as well, but not in use.

My cyclo cross is an Alan. Eighties aluminium one, not very stiff at all, but she's a beauty.

For the road I still have my old Casati Cromor with mostly campy athena + record delta brakes Don't use it much though. That's the one bike I will never ever sell. Mostly using my modern Ridley compact, 3 years old. Has mostly campy chorus, mavic brakes (love em) and a miche grantour primato compact crankset.

Here is the good part. Went for a little ride up to Tryvann (known climb in Oslo) yesterday with 2 colleagues. Me on my early nineties Pinarello Rombo. The other 2 on a modern scott and carbon dale. The only thing they saw though was my rear wheel as I rode of in the distance. Oh that felt good

My only modern, a 2006 KHS Alite team is getting more use than ever, and has just justified itself for a new build with Hone/XT as apposed to the Deore it was built with. Sorry chaps but it is a really nice ride
