Retro mountain bikes

@mtsdw

I have one of these knocking around, drilled by SBC for a brake bridge/rack.

£25 and it's yours if you want?

That would be awesome! Could you post it to Belgium? Any idea about postage costs? Do you know how much steerer is left?

I'll give it a measure tonight!

It will be extra to post to Belgium as it's about a kilo. Drop me a PM and I'll have a look on some courier sites.

Love these photos! Do you have any others of the trip?

Just got a hold of this. Not sure what the proper plan is yet, but I've got a triple in the parts bin at home. I'm thinking silver finishing fit. Maybe fun coloured cable outers... not sure. It's a 1991 M500 I believe.

1x, widest possible tyres, and shred the hell out of it!

Its tempting, just would need to find a (cheapish) wheelset that'll take a 9 or 10 speed cassette.

3x1! Why is this not more of a thing

Aka thringlespeed

I've got this on my Karakoram conversion...

Here's one of my whip
Sadly I was hit by a car shortly after this trip and the badly bent frame was later given a proper burial at sham castle in Bath

So great!!

They look solid - are they an 8,9,10 speed hub?

Also, got any pics of your Karakoram?

They're a set that includes this - https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/26-Q-R-Disc-Brake-7-8-9-Speed-Hub-Silver-CNC-Double-Walled-Rear-Bike-Wheel/291673371618

I've got a 9 speed Alivio cassette (CS-HG400-9) on mine with 1x.

Will get some pictures for you.

Cheers @SideshowBob for posting this in the ebay finds thread 10 months ago, and thanks @platypus for helping me get it to denmark. It's a seriously good time.

Ah dude, it's just too good! These forks are mental.

:-)) 10 out of 10 rad!

Amazing!

Rubbish photo, but here it is!

Looks amazing - what bars and basket are those? Impressive you managed to keep the stem as well.

Thanks :)

That's a Wald 139 ziptied to a Cube RFR rack, and the bars are Humpert City Cruisers.

This photo makes it clear I need to sort out that rear mudguard, wow.

You're very welcome @t0-ster, It's looks great fun.
