Here for your consideration for pre tip-run rescue are some (not strictly <98 but kinda fit better here than 98+ forum) frames & a complete bike. First up for adoption is an 18" GT Outpost frame c.1999 (no Caratti label or canti' provision on frame) in need of a good amount of TLC or...

OK, so. For his birthday today our lad has picked up his own LTS (pics hopefully to follow in possibly build/repair thread) and it came with a spare Super Deluxe amongst other bits. The damping is completely non-existent on that & the Coupe Deluxe on my own LTS2000 DS is also slowly puking it's...

***Now sorted thanks*** If anyone has a cheap cage (tatty/bent but working is fine as long as it will fit M952 RM body, jockeys would be nice but not essential) it'd go a long way to helping finish up a build I'm working on. Thanks for your consideration :)

Our lad has built himself up a Trek Fuel EX9 so now he's got another full bouncer it's time his I-Drive comp gets some love. The back end has always been quite tight/excess stiction so we've pulled the main bearings out to clean/repack, and since it was still tighter than my wallet with that...

As per title, just looking for a rough value for a set of RC40 the lad just picked up as part of a job lot. 1 1/8 steerer about 200mm long. Stanchions are in nice shape, crown and carbon lowers have a few scratches but no huge gouges that I can see. Stickers are mostly gone but replacements...

As per title, I couldn't find a feedback thread for @al-onestare (and in searching, noted he was gracious enough to start one for another member he'd bought from previously) so, here we are... Purchased from his Black Friday sale thread a set of Z1 BAM forks for parts, M952 XTR mech sans-cage...

So I've decided (with the missus' blessing no less! o_O ) that what Santa's sack ought to contain this year is a bike I've wanted since BITD. So, looking for an LTS. Either complete bike/project or frame, f&f or whatever you have that may suit. Ideally looking for a DH frame although any with...

As promised some pics of my latest (and last, unless I want a slap!) tip-rescue. I really couldn't pass this one by for £20 though, I've been craving a bit of pre-'90 ATB action & this fits the bill just perfectly. From research I believe it's a 1989 model, being equipped with mostly Deore...

Looking for one HS33 to add to a build, colour/cosmetics unimportant & only needs to be long enough hose for front application. Honestly, price is the main criteria for this build as it's going to be a retro jump/stunt hack I'll use to get back into the swing of things after many years away...

As per above, I've a set of Bomber Z1 drop off I want to use in a build but the crown is cracked so hoping someone has a crown that'll work. Not super bothered with originality or cosmetics, the frame is a very "lived in" Base bikes SJ26 that'll become my pump track/dirt jump "chuck around" hack...

:LOL: The better half isn't overly happy with me, again... On our afternoon tip run I spotted this "gem" of a GT Outpost... Not even had a proper look over it yet so no solid date but I'm guessing post '98 as it's sans-Caratti import sticker & came with V-brakes. It's obviously lived a tough...

As per title really, the lad experienced a rite of passage a couple of days ago & had his first frame failure. Very strange location for a crack too. Shame as he really enjoyed the light whippiness of the Palisades Trail frameset, and it's 1 1/8 so I can't even rob the fork for my Palisades 😈...

Pretty unspecific ask really, any make/model of canti compatible brake levers (would also consider 7x3 STIs) from the mid '90s. Anything kind of Acera-X/Alivio level upward, brand and cosmetics unimportant but decent used ideally. They'll just be going on my '96 Shogun Tuff Trail fair weather...

So... I've always had a bit of a soft spot for lower-mid range '80s-'90s bikes mainly because coming from a less wealthy background these things were, BITD, still a rare treat to ride much less to have owned. This soft spot was in my consciousness but largely dormant (Just a '91 Marin Palisades...

As per my post in the "show us your GT" thread, here's the Palomar my youngest stepson just rescued from the local tip. He actually rode it back although the rear mech was bent & trying to eat the wheel so it's pictured part way through him replacing the chain & swapping the TY22 for some...

Just wondering if this is worth owt to anyone before SWM(n)BO makes me take it to the tip! It's definitely lived a life & was running bomber Z1 forks with a cracked crown, Alivio mech, unbranded riveted CS and cheap OTS bolt up wheels & has a good 1/4" of tyre rub damage to the left chainstay...

As per title really, I screwed the fork on my '91 Palisades last night so looking for a replacement set. Approx 145mm steerer. Paint colour/condition unimportant although ideally neon yellow, plus races if poss as they're likely less brinnelled than mine at this point! Based near Mobberley...

Been a while since I've been online but this is not great, stacked my Palisades pretty hard yesterday. If anyone knows the Ringway tunnels near Wilmslow (yes, not even off road lol) one has a cycle/pedestrian tunnel with a flat surface & the other has a cycle lane and then a raised kerb to the...
