Another chapter in the MMC saga. Here's an insider's story of how it happened

Since we're talking about GT stems, here's the early 90s threadless Flip Flop stem, features in the ad above. You could remove the neck and flip it with one Allen wrench, changing the geometry in minutes View attachment 253769 pretty cutting edge stuff, even if it's too long

Reminds me of the AS stems I had on a couple 40s Continentals, those had a thick, thick chrome quill and a nice alloy extension. Didn't have the double wedge, though- that's interesting!!

There is a bike connection. Wait for it. Dino:

It is wearing Campagnolo!

nice Matti.

I know the bike industry is hurting right now, but this is ridiculous! Kona is offering a "buy one get one free" offer on their Process full suspension beasts

I still think Honzo is a better deal. If I was buying a new one, this would be a mega contender, so many flavors!

If one of these showed up on a pick, pretty sure I'd be wrestling Ingola.

I'd definitely have to fight dirty.

You'd send me a link and by the time you quit zooming in I would have already bought it

Heres a Marinoni not far already talking to the guy

And this one I won't even tell you where it is

They look so perfect. Buy it so I can ride it. It'd fit me like a glove

Mid 90s racing, features Ned and Tinker, not a rear suspension system to be seen. At least watch until 2:00 to the Bud Bail Out section, and tell me trails haven't gotten easier.

Holy smokes, this guy just found TWO garage queen mega mint Cook Bros bikes. I'd trade both of my cars and most of my bikes for the double bar that he also owns. Can't even imagine what they would sell for. They only made 30, somehow he scored two

Why do I like STX? Aside from the jockey wheels and adjustment barrel, all steel construction. Beyond this level, it's just weight reduction, reduced resistance, and frills.

I'll be able to keep using this old boy for a long time.

Wende's one off Breezer 3

She can tell you about her story better than I can, Joe Breeze can tell you about the bikes

the Bud Light Bailout section looks so similar to a section of a local trail here we call "Devil's Crotch". My first time down, the ride leader stopped and said "ok, I suggest you go over and look down before deciding if you're going to attempt this". I said, "move", shoved him out the way and sent it. I made it. 24 years old and dumb.

Lol nowadays I walk away from things I wouldn't even have stopped to look at back then. Scouting for the right line was what you did after the crash

I love what Stooge are doing over in England.

They also make a version of that frame without the extra bar. The biplane fork is theirs too.
