eh this is a picture with a broken chain tensioner now fixed 😉

my new classic bike,

and the true classic

My Lemond

Very classic 1989 Team Marin, made from Tange Prestige with full 89 XT group set. Totally original as it left the shop, oh and for sale, lol! Email in addy if interested.

A Raven! In one piece! Wow! 😉

In my mind these bikes can’t really be ‘classics’ most have had newer parts added. A classic should be 10 years old plus, with (at least mostly) original parts fitted, it’s like taking a mk1 escort to a classic car rally with some flashy new wheels and a cd player, just wrong – all you’ve got here (marin excluded) is old frames with some new forks/brakes etc.

Rant over – someone show us a 1970’s super corsa with full record or a early 90’s clockwork with full XC pro groupset PROPER CLASSICS.

My Dad’s got a Kona Cinder Cone complete and untouched with Sun XC something-or-other groupo hanging in his garage. Bought in about 1992 and literally ridden all of 4 or 5 times and then sat gathering dust. The only thing he added was some slicks and a frame bag for the London-Brighton (which he did and felt so knackered afterwards that aside from a couple of outings up and down the road the bike was consigned to the garage)

I keep meaning to ‘liberate’ it. Thinking about it they’re coming up to see us on Thursday, I may ask him to bring it up…

Now that would be a classic – get some old velocoraptors and your rollin!

I think he’s got some white porcupines somewhere too…

My old Stumpjumper. Notes purple Hope hubs, matching bottle cage and snow flake front wheel.

Someone on this forum should still have my Stumpjumper Pro (M2 from memory)…

a 2005 bike a classic? LMAO

Dang… Rocket beat me.
