1997 Klein Mantra Comp. I've put this one up for sale locally, but I'll show it while I have it. It's the only full-sus bike I've ever had that I could stand to ride, I may repent...

Not mine, but this was posted on the Team Raleigh Yahoo group. It's an SBDU MTB hand built at Ilkeson Special Bicycle Development Unit. Didn't know they existed, but it would make an awesome drop bar gravel grinder:

Thanks , this is the second time I have owned this bike , the first time I owned it I had to respray the top tube , years of leaning it against things and do some touch up on nicks and scrapes it has had over the years, I did put some new Onza tires and grips on it , along with cables and housings, I need to hit a trail pretty soon and get some mud on it

I'd usually post this in "Are you looking for one of these" but probably more interest here...

And it's not uncommon for the ends of the levers to interfere with each other. You need a really wide bar to accommodate them..... However, they are adjustable six ways from Sunday. Not one of Campy's better designs.

I've been saving some Campy MTB bits for the last year or so, and the later levers were much nicer, such as the Icarus/Record OR levers. I got a pair of rims and some hubs too, and these are typical Campagnolo quality. The shifting is supposed to be really dreadful compared to Shimano/Suntour/Sram from the same era, but I won't be bothering with that.

A recent eBay purchase. (in fact, these are the eBay photos, as I haven't taken any yet.) Not very old, and I know some of you don't consider the Trek mountain bikes too desirable, but it's what I've got, so I'll contribute. This is an as new 1992 Trek 970 SingleTrack. The last year with lugged frames, the first year with the Ahead set thread less headset, and near the end of the US made frame. The bike still has its Trek tires, Trek saddle, and Trek tool bag. There's not even any scuffing where the cable guides rub on the head tube. I doubt this bike has more than a handful of miles on it.
Currently all apart getting cleaned, greased, and polished. I'm putting slicks on it, a shorter stem, and a VO Milan handlebar so I can reach it.
I also have a Craigslist 1995 Trek 830 Mountain Track beater with the purple fade paint.

I'm looking at a specialized fsr xc from 2008. Owner says it's been well maintained and is asking $700 OBO. Any thoughts on this bike? Is that a fair price?

My next gravel grinder project. I'm undecided on Midge bars, Gary bars, or Moustache. I already have the moustache bars, however leaning towards Midge drops.

Got lucky yesterday when I spotted this (unknown year) Haro Impulse Comp in Craigslist. It was posted as Impulse mountain bike, and would have flew under my radar, had it not for the familiar shape of its frame to a Haro Extreme that was posted by @RFC. It's a cool version of the E-stay design.
With @neo_pop_71 posting his great Nishiki 'Cunningham' Ariel/Alien rebuild, I've had E-stay jones-ing and had to acquire the Haro. I got a good deal on it and left delighted. It's still all stock, but will get some Deore upgrades.
