Don't think I'd bother rescuing it from a skip. At least the skewers and bar tape match

Too many headset spacers.

I like the matching skewers, bar tape, bottle cage, pedals and helmet, plus what looks like bits of electrical tape.
Although unless that's all just pure coincidence, it means the owner isn't blind.
edit: too slow.

Fugly to me. But it's in use, so it's all good.

Looks a bit odd, but it's a bike that's loved and getting used.
Which is more than can be said for a lot of stuff you see in pictures in people's houses and that on here...

Perhaps retro mountain bikes are the new fixies for the fashionista Shoreditch set!
If they are, expect to see this rocking the mean streets of E1 shortly;

CFH... I have a blue one of those in my shed... Kirk that is..
The BB shell is knackered, but it seems a shame to get rid of it, and t'other half didn't seem to want to let me hang it on the wall in the lounge!

That is well cool. Tioga disc wheel FTW! Cook Bros cranks, Deore XT mechs and thumbies, and is that a Mavic headset?
Thing is, retro MTBs are actually the ideal urban cruiser, not these stupid fixies.

Agreed Elfin, I've got a 93 Orange Clockwork and it's magic for commuting...

I went back to my childhood LBS recently, got all my BMX racing kit there back in the day. I last passed it about 15 years ago and looked in the window, and there was a purple and pink fade Kuwahara 531 frame and fork there.
It was there last week still in perfect condition.
I was almost temted to buy it, but I'd never have got it home in the classic Mini Cooper.
Still, nice to chat with John again, and see he's still surviving in these hard times.
He's still doing deals for the local kids and old skool riders, the bike industry needs more good guys like him.Posted 1 year ago # -
