See, all is in good order.

If you look at previous years events here, there is plenty of solid stands where you can add your machine and shackle it somehow. Likewise, there is a retrobike 'guards' overlooking the displays. All said, you will be accommodated in some fashion.

Hello my friend. If there is no onvious fixing in there....its a hollow tube/pin that pushes out. Ive not done the job myself but can honestly suggest using a similar diameter object and carefully knock it out. Maybe heat up to assist the process. The rear swing frame can crack 👌 Take a...

Hello. The only pics i had were 'attached' to gallery in the site's old format for users-bikes-gallery.....sort of compartment. Probably long gone. The subject was resolved though! Donkeys later i was at a bike jumble and a alu frame caught my eye....with the same 'aluminium series' decals on...

If you wanna compare, an old un of mine. First pic is 'pulled out of damp shed' and 'tinkered with' conditions.

Comp is the model, from 1995 or so.

Oh man. Let's bang some Airmax on the David statue. 'get with it boi' I keep telling myself. Buy it back. I would feel 'dirty' and compromised. Ok guys, thanks for the input, just sharing thoughts. Next up on the Crystal ball....but not exclusive to the subject therein. DUDE, what's my...

Well, im smarting here. Yes, bitter. I have it that i/we aim to salvage and restore, thus preservation is a key target. The subject below was a bike I owned a few years back now. It wasnt mint but, very good considering age. I bought from a couple that were getting rid of stuff that didn't suit...

Hello, The plastic bits are not part of the system. Grease up the brake studs and slide on the the arm with the brass insert without a hole, to butt up against stud flange with your 3 holes. Holes not to be used. Next, follow the image. Its that easy. There is only one hole available for the...

Its from 95. Team, pine etc had them.

Were some of the spokes a pain to remove in the first place? Once you are done, you see how the first cross almost interferes with each each other's space...see image for what you need to achieve.

Yes, its from 1993. Here in the UK we got the other colour/color scheme of two silvery tones and green bits here and there. For reasons that aren't truly understood, everywhere else in the world got 'continental' colour schemes. It'll just keep riding. Nice strong beast is an old marin. Cheers.

I havn't owned or rode a early 90's one (off road). But the mid- late 90's yes. The mids, 756, 955 i found to be racey in geometry and uncomfortable for longer rides. They look rather cool but hard to get right, i thought. Later on, with a 757....what a different ride all together! Good springs...

Threadless...just keep it fairly neat. threaded.....hacksaw. I often use an old locknut, or top threaded but of a headset. Take that past your cut line so the top is on your mark. The hard metal will keep your blade straight/straighter/rer. When you wind it off afterwards it re aligns the...

Cut the bleedin' sillyness. Step back about 2 metres....then take photo.
