Thread: WTB cool old frame

^^^ My first mountain bike. I had a purple one like that, (lugged), broke it, and they replaced it with a filet brazed silver version. I put a manitou 2 on it, and it was finally stolen. They want $299.99 and I think I paid prolly $600 for the whole bike.

I'm not sure I want that complete bike anymore..
I might pay 300 for a frame if it was like a yo eddy or something...
I kinda want to put one of those fat carbon gravel forks on something.

The Mrs sold off her old Land Shark this year. The framebuilder always did crazy, psychedelic, custom paint and he is based out of Eugene, I think. You might be able to find some of those floating around on WA Craigslist. But they probably carry a premium compared to something from a bigger brand.
You occasionally see an old Fat Chance around. Those are worth cool kid points.

I've gotten the impression that XXX'er is only okay with his kind of fun, and anyone else's fun isn't nearly as good as his fun. See: Living South of the Canadian Border, Being an American Citizen, Not being a Canadian Citizen, Downhill Bikes, Guns, Building a Cool Vintage Bike, Skiing anything but the Lotus 120, etc. Perhaps he's becoming a bit crotchety and senile in his old age, eh?

Then it probably had a 1 1/8" steer tube. I can't think of a carbon gravel bike fork that has a 1" steerer, but maybe i'm wrong.
If you want specific parts to fit on it, just know what they are before you buy. Because depending on your vintage you could be limited by the frame.

I assume someone would want an old bike to cost almost nothing other wise they could buy an entry level giant with bigger wheels disk brakes yada cuz all the new stuff works better than any of that old stuff did but she said she thinks it will be fun so whatever, building yer own might cost mo money than finding something that doesn't need money thrown at it and what is cool anyway shouldn't one already know?
anyway everyone is here for an opinion or an argument, all the dentists here are getting crotchety/old so deal with it and get off whatever lawn you might be standing on wherever you areLee Lau - xxx-er is the laziest Asian canuck I know

There are 1" steerer rigid MTB forks available, in 29 or 26" wheel size, with canti/V-brake posts and/or with disc mounts -- so that's an option.

This is all going to get a lot more expensive than it's really worth, just to have some funky bike for riding to the local bar.

Now thats what i'm talking about ^^ a 27yr old mtb with a good pedigree
it looks like it has an ahedset which is better than quill cuz its easy to change in any modern fork including a non suspension
it looks like mrs GM rode Goldmember's gold member way > she road that bikeLee Lau - xxx-er is the laziest Asian canuck I know

shame, I just sold this tuesday:
60cm Centurion Dave Scott Ironman. Lugged cro-mo. Late 80s vintage. Shimano 105 components, single biopace chainring up front (set up 1x6 with indexed DT shifter). Epic Sex Pistols eye-melting color scheme. Nitto bars and nitto technomic stem. This would make a tremendous fixie, or just ride it as-is.Last edited by ill-advised strategy; 07-12-2018 at 07:44 PM. Reason: fixed picture

Thread jack. Anyone familiar with this website https://suspensionforkparts.net/esho...kit-95-96.html
This thread has me thinking I should get my old privateer back in action. It has a 1" threaded quadra 21r.

like dis one
usually roll this though, which I'm guessing is what mtngirl is generally looking for- fun, old mtb turned cruiser with a couple gears and a basket or some storage for rolling around town and to parties
similar situation too- my buddy loved wrenching on old bikes and found this frame behind his rental house and we built it up with mostly old but some newer stuff.
some good stuff coming up here- ill-advised - that road bike you sold was dope lookingskid luxury

1960’s Schwinn Suburban $80 CL find. So uncool, it’s cool.
