The only bit you are missing is how you get the belt 'into' the frame

+

If it was an out and out track frame it would not be drilled. It is drilled therefore is aimed at road use.

55mm deep fork blades, I wouldn't want to ride any further than from the railway station to the velodrome on this:

They put a hole in it so nutters who will ride anything on the road can subsidise the production of hardcore track frames.

This is neat.A little 'Hetchins' esk.The lugwork also has a neat,not over-done look of Nervex from the 60's & 70's.

Not really Hetchins-esque, theirs were rather custom and the famous ones are very ornate, these are just these: http://ceeway.com/NEWPARTSPAGES/lugs.htm Series 302 Fleur de Lys, with an extra little hole at the front. I can't see how they are more or less 'over-done' than the Nervex, but I'm probably a litle biased (for the obvious reason).

...apologies if this is a daft question.

sehr gut?

that trek could have some nicer brake levers.

Sram s900, record carbon?

I think those of us who came to MTBs late are pleased to have missed that era for all sorts of reasons.

without it we wouldn't be where we're at today.

FACT

As a fan of Ti mountain bikes I can't say I like any of those, they've all got something aesthetically wrong with them
I'd consider the Mongoose and Raleigh but the rest just don't do it for me...

Just because something is old & titanium does not make it porn. Could you have not been a little more picky? Most of those bikes look like junk, theres a couple decent ones there. But mostly stuff that is very dull and mediocre>shit.

without it we wouldn't be where we're at today.

FACT

The same is true of the Model T, but you wouldn't want one as your daily driver.

but you wouldn't mind looking back at them on a on a car forum.

What? Long stems, narrow bars, crap brakes, 1 inch suspension, bear traps, colour coordinated bar,stem,bullbars,cranks,seatpost,chainring bolt, QRs,wheels,dust caps,brake levers....

I was!

things got good around 1993 when hardtails went to 125-130 up front. full sussers got sorted (most. not all, still some dodgy ones about) forks lasted well and had damping that worked (rc2/3 in bombers and then motion control with rockshox) disk brakes were no longer shite and tempremental.

now with tubeless flow rims, rockshox (marzocchi have fallen by the wayside since production moved to suntour) numerous disk brake systems that work, sticky fast rolling tyres and 6in full suss bikes that weigh less than hardtails of yore mtb'ers really are spoiled for choice.

those old bikes are shite apart from the hardtails. the bouncy ones are all full of fail for various technical/mechanical/aesthetic reasons.

Any idea what saddle that is on the raleigh?

Also I thought white ind were the only people to make eccentric hubs, i have much to learn.

Knicked off hrrundel flickr stream.

does somebody have the exact adress where all his p0rn bikes are stored :] ?

I hate to be "that guy" who moans about other people's porn - and I've tried to hold back - but... That "stealth" Trek is awful! It looks like someone poured chalk paint over it?

i might

.

Does anyone know if this saddle actually came out? I think it was a Selle Italia, and at a trade show or something. It makes my Stripped SLR look positively sluggish.

yep, want/ need.
