Retro mountain bikes

I have those exact pedals on my other bike at the moment, although the paint has worn away over the years. I'll be swapping them over to the Hardrock when the time comes.

This bike, or at least frame, is quickly becoming a forum village bicycle.

Been stripping down my MTB and was just thinking of this yesterday! Bloody frame is getting more traveling done than me haha! Minor regret letting that one go, lovely paint job.

When you already has too many bikes, and this shows up for sale in the nearby for 50 EUR.

Rastaman. 👍

First post* 1989 Carrera Krakatoa that was my brothers first bike! Apologies for the high seat 🤡

Updated the 93Hardrock Ultra I bought from @acd to modern, commuter, friendly, version of itself.
Spent more money than I thought I would have doing so, and it could still do with a new drivetrain.
I always find it a shame that mudguards take away from the aesthetics of a bike, especially one like this, but they're just too practical to not have on.
Stem switched over to a-head and some cheap 'megastore' bars. Managed to save the bar tape that ACD had put on. Canti brakes swapped to V brakes. Old pair DMR pedals put on for the 90s neon.

very cool! I DO like those pedals

Nice.

That's odd, never usually happens with bike stuff. I think it looks great with the guards, nice work.

Now with added bag-ness…

Anyone got a 30mm seatpost in their parts bin? Black or silver, 350mm+ length ideally.

Ta!

Think I've got a 29.8mm if that is any good

Finally getting round to building up the Rock Lobster

Verrry nice

Thanks for the reply, I’d prefer to avoid a shim if I can but will send you a dm in a bit if I don’t find anything that’s the perfect size : )

Ooooh yeeeeeaaaaah

Some more pictures. Front brake cable attached. Might need to shorten the rear.
