Retro mountain bikes

True speak. Wider is king. The kinips are technically my wife’s but she’s got xkings on her bike at the mo so probably won’t miss them ;)
The originals are in almost mint condition and not crumbly so I might keep them on for the next few weeks. I really want it to get cold and wintery so I can put my snow studs on...

Oh grips- what do I want? Purple longnecks or something ergo? There are some nos onza porcipaws in purple on eBay but not sure I can justify £22 for grips

i have been trying to sell my retro checker pig bar stem combo on here and thought you lot would be interested.

Kiniptions were a good shout. #tukt

This gt mixte might be of interest to someone on here, could make an ace monstourer.
Shame it has a u-brake at the back.

Love your Rudy project!

what tires are these, @Jonny69

Booo, step through, not a mixte.

Tempted to buy that gt I posted upthread and throw way more money at it than it would ever be worth - full xt, proper bars/stem and a new paint job. Luckily I’m broke and LadyLiz wouldn’t care anyway.

That pinarello looks fantastic with black grips; I’d just go for pink cable ends and pedals.

fuck that green number with super skinny dt is delish.

tyres id please?

they look like Compass Rat Trap Pass

retro ute beauties esp the 1st one and the Canondale. thanks for improving the world.

This reminds me of my Raleigh Moonshine!

Yup, very similar, I guess it should be that. Thanks!

Remember these? The culprit of an awful lot of shin mashing.
