Well, got the Cannondale weighed in today... Not quite as good as I had hoped, at least with the mtb tire wheelset. It actually got heavier somehow, with the XT/LX drivetrain. Maybe it's just the street wheels were already lighter to start with? They're the same rims basically(Matrix single track), but The mtb wheels have LX hubs, and the street wheels have Parallax hubs. Soooo, drum roll pleeeez....

With mtb tire wheelset (Tioga Psycho matched front/rear set) 26 pounds, 6 ounces..

With street tire wheelset (Panaracer Pasela Tourguard 1.5") 25 pounds, 1 ounce.

I am tempted to just buy a set of Panaracer Fire XC Pro's, and see how much lighter they are than the Tiogas. I have a set already, but they're on the Hard Rock rims on the Haro Escape. Those Fire XC's fit unbelievably TIGHT on those rims, and I'd rather not go through the trouble for a test weigh... I'm sure I could get it under 25 on the street tire set, if I took the toe clips off. I like them too much though. One of the only sets I own, that I can just slip my shoes in and out with ease.,,,,BD

Thanks for sharing the Marin Team FRS. Brings back memories from a yuppie making a mobile phonecall on his Team FRS, back in 1995. I were a fortunate cyclist too with my Koga SkyCarbolite, but I did push my bike to the limits. A Team FRS set you back 5.995 Dutch guilders in 1995.

Correction: I now spot it is the actual Manitou FS. That is an impressive piece with all its CNC work.

Gravity Aided

Really light, and well made, for a basic citybike. Nishiki really got this one right.

frantik

Just a tease of my newest pick up







Fully lugged Tange Prestige frame with a mix of XT and plain Deore. No ubrake. Round chain rings. Thumb shifters. and oh yeah AWESOME COLORS

This is a grail bike i didn't even know i was looking for bought it from the original owner too

Will do a full reveal tomorrow

realestvin7

You turd.

realestvin7

This one is next to go. I wish it were a touch larger.

frantik

^ wow mega wheelbase

I better not mention the price then

realestvin7

Mega cool, too.





I've gotten stupid good deals before. It's ok to spill.

balindamood

I wish the DB was bigger too. Looks like a 17-18 inch.

realestvin7

Yep, 18". Did you see the updated post about the Kuwahara?

frantik

definitely mega cool.. that one looks like it's in pretty good shape too. Someday when i have more room than sense I'd love to add one of those to the fleet..

and i paid $95.. probably could have paid less but would have paid twice as much without hesitation

realestvin7

Not bad. So what is it? Lol.

frantik

LOL.... Jamis Dakar .. pretty sure it's an 1989.. not sure if the "competition series" means it's a Jamis Dakar "Comp" or what. The guy said he originally planned on buying a Jamis Dakota but the sales person offered him the Dakar for the same price cause of the colors

realestvin7

I would have paid extra for the colors. Lmao.

frantik

hells yes.. the ad had no picture but mentioned pink and purple.. it probably scared away most people but i was like GIMMEE!!

balindamood

I did. I need it like another hole in my head. Still want it though. The problem for me is that I already have two Fishers, two Ritchey's, a Univega, RD Coyote, Cannondale, and a Schwinn all of the same vintage ('82-'86), but none of them are lugged. I have a build in mind that doesn't fit what I have. Would rather trade for it. PM me and maybe we can revist our discussion over the XC stuff. Shipping will suck, but I will be in FT Worth next week and can maybe hook-up then.

I had one of those Diamondbacks and would love to have another one in decent condition (mine was a rust bucket and too far gone) . Need 20-21 inch though.

You know your are a vintage MTB crackhead\Junkie when you are sitting at home going through your finances and realize, your four year old's violin lesson is twice as expensive and he cries the whole way to lessons and back. If I can pay $2600 to torture my child why cant I have this frameset again???

Back off while I consider??

@ Frantik, I am happy you are down with purple and pink.




Seriously considering the below?

New Colnago MTB Frame & Fork - $1300 (Springfield, VA)





I am selling a new Colnago MTB Frame & Fork. It was made in 1993. It has never been built up before. I bought this for a bike project but I realized that I could not afford all the Campagnolo components for it and I did not want to use Shimano parts. The frame is 50cm from bottom bracket to bottom of seat tube. The tob tube is 58cm and the downtube is 61cm. The steerer tube is 1-1/8" threaded. I am asking for $1,300/OBO. I will ship it for an extra $70. No lowballers or scammers. Serious inquiries only. Thanks for looking.

I'd rather live in a Gingerbread House than a glass one.

This message brought to you by the letters I, U & D.

Slammin

@ Amjesa, You will have to explain it so that my 4 year old understands, cause I sure as hell don't.

I U D to you too= "I think you are a dummy"

realestvin7

I want to see your mtb's, Mr. Lindamood.

Slammin

Initially I thought he meant IUD, as in I shouldn't have kids. I can't he imagine he'd be that rude and indifferent without knowing me.

mainstreetexile 

Those are some heavy looking welds.. they don't really do it for me but I guess maybe they have to look like that because of the shape of the tubing?

I don't know much about 90s colnago mtbs, is that aluminum or titanium?

frantik

i'd guess aluminum by the welds but i dunno

Slammin

+1 to fat aluminum welds.
The seller inlcuded very little information other than size and cost. The the more I look at it, the more I think no way.
