This:

Uhg! :x I want one of those so bad!

There is one on Ebay right now in Team Scream, bit rough and US shipping only.

Thanks for the lead on that one... I was going to bid on it last minute but it got real pricey (IMO for the shape it was in) in the last 40 seconds. :x thanks again for the heads up though

Almost too many to list, but I think probably if I restrict myself to three; then the Cats Wiskas frame, followed by the DeKerf Mountain and lastly the Rourke 853 road frame in black.

I think mine would have to be 1989 stumpjumper which was covered in electricians tape that i won for £23 on eBay with all the original parts.

Not strictly retro as it's a '99 model , but . . .



Looking at other posts on this topic , I think £100 was too much for this now ! :roll:

For me this was the catch of the day, week and the whole 2013. A '92 RM Altitude in more than mint condition. All my bikes are riders, but this one makes me doubt to take it out...

After two years of searching got my hands on a new Ghibli 24" front disc - VERY RARE!!

That will look cool rolling alongside the camels...

Besides a new retro house that needed some work the only real pick-up a NOS 92 Richter 8.0 frame and a couple NOS road frames. The room in the picture had dark paneling and has been lightened up with new drywall and flooring for a proper bike display room.
