Retro mountain bikes

Thanks, it’s an itch I had to scratch. I only went looking for a frame but ended up getting both of these. I will be looking to sell one, I’ll probably sell both by the end of the year if not sooner, just want to tick it off the bucket list of bikes I must ride and own at some point. I’m going to swap some parts around once I decide which frame I prefer and need to sort out the pace forks out.

Drop me a message if you want to sort something out.

Fantastic Al Mega's. My Cro Mega is one of my favourite retro's. No cracks in the frames?

Don’t believe so, the aluminium one is a later frame with a gusset around the lower part of the head tube, where they were known to crack.

Hoping these are awesome to ride, they both need a bit of work before I can have a go on either of them

Really like the one with the Pace on it. Was my fav Alpinestars colour scheme. And their ride is absolutely fantastic.

Sorry I’ve only just noticed you asked. I just did a bit of asking around and these came up from a guy I had done a bit of buying and selling of bikes with in the past. There’s lots of bonkers stuff out there in garages and sheds, just need to find it and buy it when the chance arises.

Picked this up the other day, parts are pretty shot but have some modern bits in the parts bin that should work for a cheap build

What are the cranks? Vaguely after some black 110bcd square taper cranks if that is indeed what they are, and you happen to want shot of them

Deore LX 560.

I’m planning on keeping them for an all black Kirk build, but if I get lazy I’ll hit you up lad

No problemo. Yeah they’re a good call for ‘classic but not silver’.

Has anyone got experience of servicing a Fox Alps 5R rear shock?

What the fucking fuck is that!?

Double seatpost for rigidity or is that a shock?

To accomodate big balls?

Ah yes makes perfect sense

@Señor_Bear is strangely quiet on this

It was all the rage in 90s Downhill. Massive saddles for shifting your weight around.

Big balls will always be required in downhill too.

There was also the Vario Techno SX.
