Retro mountain bikes

My brother is moving house and found some stuff from the nineties.

I'm running roughly the same, an I know we're roughly the same height.

Nice. Hopefully pay for the bike soon. Should be an interesting project, haven't had a geared bike in years

What bike is it ?

An old fluro Cinelli thing hopefully.. Got a few ideas in mind so will prob end up making a CP thread for it

It looks like this was never finished...

One of my best mate's rather unique Mali from around '91. Stock components were LX M550, now it has some M560 stuff on it as well.

It wasn't. It was Alex Pong's CNC prototype bike. Pong had previously designed and built the magic motorcycle crank and Cannondale bought that up and Alex's crazy ideas came along for the ride.

His work still lives on to this day in the Hollowgram crank.

Damn, too good!

Alex Pong sounds like the most awesome guy ever. What a bike !

no way...he actually built this...

Amazing!

Any suggestions for currently in production gum sidewall 26" tyres?

Jeebus, that's a whole lotta stem and post

dat stem. Is that retro or is it neo-retro? 1x drivetrain, wide-range cassette and that layback seatpost make me think the latter.

The WTB frame's from '96, but it's received some rather bizarre additions.

Including a custom seatpost ;-)

Seat qr is open.

Or closed the wrong way. Yes, I'm saying there's a wrong way.

Going by where the toptube is in comparison to the wheels, the frame is pretty big already, rider must be 7ft+?

Halo Twin Rail if you want fat, Pasela if you fancy something more in the middle.
