I could watch videos like this all day! Thank you for sharing.

I don't. I sold it to years ago and it felt like I was abandoning my baby. Back in 04, I sent that Fox Vanilla RC shock to Push Industries when they were still a small company in their original building in CO, and it made that frame 10x better.

That brings back some memories! When I finished grad school back in 2003, Supergo or Cambria Bikes was clearing the 02 XCE frames out for a thousand bucks or so. I convinced myself I "deserved" to splurge on a new bike (its easy to settle any dissonance when you really want something!) I...

I haven't used a rear shock from X-Fusion, but have used 3 of their forks. For the money, I have been beyond happy with the performance, and their customer service has been top notch. This seems like a no-brainer for somebody looking for a simple shock.

I have a vintage no logo, but I'm in the US. I can send pics, if you are interested.

I've got a question for everybody. Both, my dog and I would benefit from getting on the trails. BUT, I have this vision of opening my car door and watching my sweet dope (Husky/Boxer/Akita/Retriever mix) just running away or ignoring me while in the forest. I have to assume there are threads...

Jesus Crow...these look like they just came out of a time capsule! You gotta love the early 90s colors on that 2000.

Obviously, the bikes are amazing, but I love that almost every person in these photos have a giant smile on their face. You gotta love the mountain biking community!

I mean no disrespect, but I would be surprised if it's a Merlin. Their welds are amazingly clean and the dropouts on their older bikes don't look like that. Also, Merlin stamped their company name and serial numbers on their rear dropouts. But, you do have a titanium frame there...just not...

Amazing!

I think that might be the Everlasting Gobstopper rear derailleur.

Take a poke around here. I built my first wheelset using Sheldon Brown's site. I have to assume there are more modern resources out there, but this is pretty comprehensive. https://www.sheldonbrown.com/wheelbuild.html

She is about 5'3

I'll try to get some to you tonight, but it will probably be tomorrow.

A company called "SuperGo" used to sell them back in the day. I know SugerGo shut down their online store a while back (not sure if they have a brick and mortar in California), but I have no idea what happened to Weyless bikes. I used to love the day when the SuperGo paper catalog would arrive.
