I think it’s from 1991, as Easton didn’t release their Vari Lite tubing until then, and I have a Manitou review from early 1991 with Doug Bradbury saying he couldn’t get the new, butted Easton tubing. And these were made from 6061 in 1990, according to various MBA test articles.

Looks like marketing bollocks to me! Having been in the bike trade for over 30 years, and seen, and fitted, and used nearly every product on the market over this time, I would stick to some regular cables, Shimano being my preferred brand, as they will be almost certainly 99% as good, while...

Factory Pilot is an Oakley thing, features on a range of items now still.

This hub takes a screw on freewheel, not a cassette.

Pork chop bmx store in the states have ame grips, not the GT branded ones, but the same grip, I got some a while back.

Re: 700mm ideally. My frame builder was going to make me a set of bars prior to lockdown, but his health issue means I cannot visit him in person. Just looking for something to allow me to use my Salsa stem on my modern xc bikes. 22.2mm would be fine, as I have a box of various shims to hand.

I am looking for a pair of bars that are a more useable, modern width. Anybody know if anything available?

Re: Hi bud. I have a complete, but tatty, 305 headset made up of leftovers from various builds. The crown race is cracked, but it still works perfectly. Plastic bearing races are intact, as is the lower plastic cover. I don’t have too upper rubber cover though. If any good to you, private...
