I think Aubrey is still mad at me for building her up a sweet trek fuel. She still says that Kona frame was better.MMcG said:Not mine, but Liam is now rocking an Old Kona Hahanna frame courtesy of Stosh, up front is an old 1998 or so Sid fork - still in great shape.
I had some of Narlus' old stuff - probably should have kept some of it, but money was tight for me last winter time, and many great components were sold by me ( I still feel kinda bad about it) including a classic Ted Wojcik softtrack FS frame, some killer Syncros Revolutions cranks, and some really trick Avid Ultimate brake levers.
God damned money problems. :mumble:
i re-built my 1970 typhoon over the winter. the parts date all over the place: the morrow coaster is 1936; the brooks saddle, tuff neck cruiser bars & bullseye hub are from the 80's; the jad cranks are early 90's. the only part i've had since new is the mountain cycle fork (~91), while pretty much useless (the elastomers have hardened over the years; effective travel: 1"), they work fine for this application. super fun ride. gratuitous picture re-post:stosh said:I have a 70's Schwinn Typhon with a pretty good paint job but I'm debating re-painting it and pimping it out. I'm not sure what to do. The Typhoons look silly with tall bars on them.
yep and here is warming up on it!douglas said:a '96 Nishiki Colorado (stock execpt stem/bars/slicks) is what I use on my trainer
I saw this the other day, it got me thinking I should do the same to mine. I hate losing the original paint. Thing is I hate the color of the original paint though.xy9ine said:i re-built my 1970 typhoon over the winter. the parts date all over the place: the morrow coaster is 1936; the brooks saddle, tuff neck cruiser bars & bullseye hub are from the 80's; the jad cranks are early 90's. the only part i've had since new is the mountain cycle fork (~91), while pretty much useless (the elastomers have hardened over the years; effective travel: 1"), they work fine for this application. super fun ride. gratuitous picture re-post:

Wanna sell em?Wondermarmot said:I've got a old set of spin wheels that I rocked on my old GT xc bike. I ditched the bike and now they are just collecting dust in the shed. Even though I don't own anything they could fit on, I just can't get ride of them.
I totally agree. I normally hate that style of bike but that is really really nice.stinkyboy said:
That's freakin gorgeous!!!
thanks. no, crupi pedals. (fantastic quality & very similar, only you can buy them new for about 1/3 the price of vintage hutch). scary sharp cages.OGRipper said:DA WINNER!!!! WOW, that has to be the most gorgeous frankenbike
ever. :love:
Edit: Hutch pedals even?!?!
I have a pair of the first sidi dominators that I still use for road riding.mud'n'sweat said:Oh yeah, i have a pair of 1993 Diadoro clipless shoes that were lost at the parents house for years. Broke them back out this year and they are the most comfortable shoes ever!
What POS cranks. They only lasted thirteen years of continuous service before cracking at the spindle interface.:mumble: I wonder if Ritchey will warranty them.Wumpus said:I have a set of Ritchey cranks from the mids 90's that started out on my Klein Rascal that are now doing duty on the crossbike.
I have a pair of the first sidi dominators(1993?) that I still use for road riding.
Those are great, til you take one on the shin...
