I’ve always loved GT bikes and in 1994 when I was in my teens, I wanted nothing more than an RTS or an LTS. Fast forward to Mountain Mayhem in 2019 and whilst chatting with some of the RB crowd I was told get an RTS. So here we are! I got this RTS 3 frame off eBay, it’s not a ball burnished...

I’ve been offered a GT RTS frame. I’ve disconnected the shock and from the rocker pivot there is a little play from side to side. Ordinary I’d think this was wrong but I’m sure I recall that there was some sort of play? Any help with what is right and wrong would be appreciated before I pull...

I’m after a silver stem 120mm long for 25.4 bars and 1/1’8” ahead. Something like Control Tech, Syncros or something else from the mid nineties suitable for a Kona. Would consider other anodised colours but not black. Cheers!

So in true Retrobike style I’ve not finished my current Retrobike and I’m looking for the next one.... I’ve seen an Orange Elite frame. It’s looking a bit tired and it’s age. The surface is pockmarked, has a few gouges but is uncracked. How well is it likely to polish out? I know it’s a bit of...

Since starting to build up my Kona I’ve spent a lot of time looking at retro bikes and components on eBay. What I don’t get is some of the prices and how long some of the stuff sits on there unsold. There is a Zaskar up for sale fairly close to me with a BIN of £1050. Been on there for ages...

To finish my Kona I’m after a mid nineties 28.6 BP front mech, can’t be a low mount one as the seat tube profile isn’t circular at the BB. Something like a nice 739 XT would be nice. I’m also after a pair of grips for a ‘95 Kona if anyone has anything to suit? I’d also be keen on some Onza ones...

Before I start a little about why I’ve gone with the Kona.... I started mountain biking in the halcyon days of the mid 90’s. My first proper bike was a ‘94 GT Talera which soon was upgraded with some purple anodised bars and a pair of Tioga Surefoot 6 pedals. I joined the RAF in ‘96 and before...

I planned on using the Mag21 on my Kona but I’ve gone with a Judy instead. It’s silver with a threaded 1’1/8th steerer 156mm long. I fitted it but never rode it. The fork holds air and moves up and down as it should. It’ll be sold with the pump. There are some marks on the legs but nothing too...

In good condition other than a few chips in the paint and cable rub. It’s an XL and works with 120-140mm forks. It’ll come with a seat post. All yours for £120 posted. I’m located in Wiltshire near the A303 and A350. PM for pictures. Would consider a swap for a suspension fork, tapered...

Sorted.

SOLD It pains me to do this but I'm selling my IF as I (Ok, my back) would rather ride a full sus. It is a 06/07 made for 26" wheels. It's got some chips in the paint but the frame is sound otherwise. It has a lovely metal head badge and it'll be sold with a Thompson seatpost. It rides...

I probably shouldn't be doing this but here we go... I was out at Swinley yesterday and although I had a hoot on the IF I think I prefer full suspension (or my back does anyway). Is there anyone interested in swapping their FS for my IF? It's a 2006ish 19" IF Steel Deluxe, 26er with 1/1'8...

Stuff no longer for sale.

Pace Rc405- 18 inch. It's seen some use and the anodising isn't in the best condition. Structurally sound though. The DT Swiss shock is in perfect working condition and feels smooth. The frame will come with a Hope headset, a seat post and a QR seatclamp. Yes it's designed for 26 inch wheels but...

I'm looking for a light weight XC suspension fork. Needs to be 80-100mm of travel with 180mm+ steerer and disc compatible. Something like a SID would be perfect but I'll consider anything.These forks are going on the front of my Turner Nitrous so they need to be light weight and no more than...

Reluctantly I'm going to have to sell my fantastic Dekerf Team ST. It's an 18 inch in emerald green and I think it was built in 1998. I brought it off this very forum last January. It's in great condition but the are a couple of chips in the paint and and a scratch in the chainstay. The shock is...
