That is nice looking :) It's just nice to see some effort gone into the finish (even if it is a love it or hate it scheme!) as opposed to mass produced carbon copies (pun intended). It does seem as though there are a few more of the oversize ones around. Do you know your frame number? Mine...

Yes, it's been sold. And delivered. And swooned over :D I do like my quirky bikes, and this'll be built up as a best bike with nice new bits on it, hopefully it rides as nice as everyone says :) Can find feck all information about them though. A bit more info on the oversize tubed frames...

Knew I'd forgotten something! As the storm outside has woken me up, I may as well add these! The weight is a little over 1800g for the 58 and about 1650g for the 54 (note the geometry says 52, but it's definitely closer to a 54). Not bad for a frame that will last a lifetime!

I am selling a bike and a frame. I wouldn't normally post something like this on here, but I noticed interest in Stainless Steel on here a while ago, so thought it may be of interest. I'm asking £2200 for the bike, but will come down for retrobike people as it's served me well in the past...

Hi Rich If it's any interest, I don't mind building them up for you as a freebie if you've got the hubs and spokes you want, or I can get the spokes :)

Yep, still here, waiting for a good home :)

Can sell these individually if any interest...come on, there must be some people after 36ers out there!

Sorry, my sarcasm compulsion got the better of me there :wink:

Fit one a mm size too small :)

Typical...I give up my hopes of finding certain MC33 parts and the project and then this comes up!

No problem :) I'll weigh them in a sec and let you know how much the postage is. Thanks :)

Having a clearout and instead of giving these to the charity shop, I thought I may as well see if anyone wants them here first. The Ultimate Mountain Bike Book by Nicky Crowther Lots of great pics of retro bikes, and covers everything from bike setup to touring routes, to techniques...

Same old story, never got around to using these and now have different plans. They are one pair of FiR IMPES 192. One is 32h & one is 36h ~480g each good braking surfaces, hardly worn decals all intact Good strong rims, renowned for their strength and stiffness. Apparently it's best to...

1" forks/headset and I've not tried but I assume it to be the Orange seatpost size of that era - 26.4 I believe.
