Managed to resurect the heavy metal MTB. Unfortunatelly frame was a bit small for me so went and sold it. Will have a new life as a pub-run bike, I see good times ahead for it :).

Thanks, will dig some more, when was bought it was missing just the crank set, buttom braket and front derreilleur, everything else seams original. The guy will use it in a "zombie mode" for now and will see what we can find until next season. Was surprised how well it rides, first full...

Hello all, just managed to semi-resurect this 1998 (I guess) Specialized, all working fine now but not exactly as it should with mainly scrap parts :) , need to find out the exact part sizes it had (model and make if possible), front sproket, front derrailleur and buttom braket, everything else...

I don't care what people say, if it brings joy to me that something I fixed is up and running, that is what's important, they might say the new stuff might be better (talking about quality bikes, not some 30y old tech that is made worse than 50y ago), might be more relaiable, but at the same...

Hello all, I managed to get my hands on this whale, as you can see from the picture it sais Mares on the frame, does anyone know anything about them? I looked online but can't find any info. Bile has decent parts on it, not high end but good, mavic rims, shimano shifters... Any info will be...

well I call it the 90s throw up paint, was a free bike in pieces, couldn't resist and as I mentioned once I was dreaming of a similar one, when I was young. It did kept me away from netflix and thought me a bit more about fixing bicycles, so even if I get stuck with it ... still not a bad hobby...

you should have bid, you would've made me happy 🤣🤣🤣, can't get rid of it .....

was mostly a nostalgic built, really dreamed as a kid to have one similar to this, but now frame is a bit small for me and won't use it. If it doesn't sell will hang it on a wall in the garage :)

thanks, back in the mid 90s early 2000s that paint job was very popular back home in Romania, and these kind of mountain bikes.

Hello, I got this rescue for sale, got it from a guy that seams to have kept it in the garage for most of the time (year of production unknown). Cleaned it, oiled it and greased all the bearings, changed the chain and chainset, brakepads, inner tubes. From what I could find online about Esperia...

Dreamed of getting one since I was a kid, got it in 2014 in Alicante, Spain. Was with me on the roads of Mallorca, Timisoara (Romania), Leven (Scotland), London and now Wolverhampton (UK). So far the only bike I kept for more than 4 years. This year will get a full refurbishment.
