    Toxik Harald - Shop Closing Sale / Support

    I am personally very glad this is an option open to me now. I can't speak to Harald's situation , but I generally trust people to make the correct decsion for themselves with the support of their physician and familiy.

    Norco TNT Tange Ultimate Ultralite c 1994

    Never mind my earlier nonsense. Looking at the pink bike ad, the TNT in the photos has a rear fender / rack braze on. You might need p clamps for the seat stays or one of those center mount racks. https://www.pinkbike.com/buysell/3648431/ view-source:

    Anyone have details on how the Avocet 30 cyclocomputer magnet ring works?

    So is the goal here to have a functioning head unit or to have the entire unit function as per original design? If the former, can you swap out the magnetic ring for a more traditional avocet sensor and spoke mangnet system?

    Rod's Black Off Road Toad

    Great acquisition. I'm surprised that both of those bikes were for sale.

    1988 Fisher Hoo Koo e Koo (red/white/green)

    I just tuned up a blue Hoo Koo e Koo at the bike charity I volunteer at - likely of a similar vintage and size. Nice bike.

    RM Hammer Race

    I bought a Hammer Race for a winter commuter build in the mid 2000's to replace a cracked frame. I found it underwhelming compared to earlier rocky mountains. It looked like the OP's version, but without the flames. Maybe an aftermarket customizeation?

    Revelations about the past of Mauro Gianetti, Pogacar’s Manager (Radio France Investigation, Translation in post)

    The horse is truely out of the barn on that one and I don't know that post Armstrong you could have fielded a team without some known / admitted dopers both riding or managing the set up. Today we may be in a different position, but it would still be a challenging transition politically.

    To Usefully Restore, Resto-mod or a total authentic refurb?

    Maybe we need a chopper forum?

    Revelations about the past of Mauro Gianetti, Pogacar’s Manager (Radio France Investigation, Translation in post)

    And he's not the only former doper involved in team management since the Armstrong era.

    To Usefully Restore, Resto-mod or a total authentic refurb?

    I'm responding to the thread title as I found the actual post too difficult to follow. Personally I think it depends on the owners goals and the value of the bicycle / frame historically. I typically own a bunch of mediocre crap bikes so a sympathetic historic restoration does not make any...

    1990 Ritchey Ultra

    Wow, I've never seen one in anything other than metallic white or black. That cleaned up nice.
