Purchase thread here Unfortunately the original paint was not salvageable. My powdercoater could have reproduced the fade but I like the white better. Have a "Handcrafted" sticker to avoid confusion. He did a good job. Original rims didn't have much life in em, which is fine, the black will...

FRM ...fillet brazing, oh my

U brake klein Interesting. Kind of expensive but you don't come across either that frame or fork all that often, it seems

This among other things is why I love western colorado. There's always something like this on the market.

Picked up this mixte the other day for cheap ... Thinking probably an '85 Sport. Was thinking about slapping my super maxy 50.4 bcd cranks on there just for giggles. But I'm looking at those Sugino VTs on there... they can't be *that* nice, cheap bike and all. But they sure look nice. Haven't...

Found these on eBay and snatched them up quick but Campys product line makes my head spin. Since I want to lace em up to some NOS Morox rims, my fantasy is, this is part of their '91-'93 MTB product line. 135mm OLD, freehub is about 35mm with equal width splines. Gonna lace em up anyway cuz...

Not so much "what's it worth" but "is it more than the sum of parts" ... Kuwahara mountain bike, 1983 by the serial number, no other model or brand stickers, just "Kuwahara." Storage-shed find, not pristine but in good shape. Bought it for the wheels and components, figuring I have enough in...

Dude is asking $350. Thinking I might should jump on it. Thoughts?

I found an NOS Sachs New Success 135mm rear hub that's very shiny so Ima use it on my next build. I also dug an old Sachs 7 speed freewheel out of the bargain bin I'd like to use with it. Problem is, I think the hub was specced for an 8-speed freewheel. Should I just screw that sucka on and...

Up for sale locally for $150. Kind of a weird mix of stuff. Appears to have late 90s LX cranks, alivio rd, z1 forks. Sun rear rim, Ritchey front. Avid levers. I imagine the rear shock will need rebuilt or replaced, no idea how much of a hassle that'll be. Don't mind rebuilding the fork. My...

Thoughts on this frame? Seems like I sorta remember Cagiva from hanging out with a bunch of gear-heads that were into obscure Italian racing motorcycles. Same elephant logo. I remember Porsche had a mountain bike, as did BMW, perhaps this is a similar branding exercise? I've heard of Scapin...

Dying to figure out a way to put these on my FRM build but wanted to post these up in case anyone is doing a Be Active resto. I'll hang on to them for a while so don't hesitate to hit me up even after this post has aged. I think this needs to be a Karma thing; they were gifted to me by a very...

The challenge is to build this and all this ...into a bike of some sort. Got a good deal on the frame, which has evidently been sitting in a warehouse for the last 20 some odd years. Columbus genius tubing, appears to be silver brazed. Figured I would do an interactive build, as I'm still...

I came across some NOS campagno mtb rims -- a set of Mirox and a set of Alfa XL I believe Mirox is mid-90s vintage, no? What's the story on the Alfas? What hubs would you consider for either?

Link Seller says it comes in a box prominently marked "spindle needs tapped." He doesn't know what that means, but notes the pinch bolts are missing, so maybe that's what needs to be tapped. I'd take a chance on it if I had some hope of sourcing a left crank arm, or if I had a drill press...

What do you think about Caswell's anodize touch up kit? Anybody using it?

Was looking for a bike to rehab for my son-in-law, and came across this for a good price. I bought it. Just curious what it was I bought, exactly. Appears to have RS Indy fork, which I understand came out in '97. As for the frame, based on color, groupset (STX) and the threaded headset, I...
