Found this lot the day I stripped it to build up a Mojo. This was less than a week returning from Lagos on a full on xc and dh weeks riding…
Bit of cable rub:
That section was also loose, the welds had cracked and in effect, the whole of the shock mount was on its way..
This drop out appears to be a little worn…
Posted 11 years agoOddly enough the first google image result for this is from this very site…
Posted 11 years agoIt was 6-7 years old, commuted on, ridden in t’ills proper, led hundreds of intro sessions at the centre, towed the kiddy trailer, helped my business move office with the trailer etc etc etc. Sold on here to a good home. Great bike. Really great.

Posted 11 years ago“If cable does that to an ally frame what is it doing to my carbon?”
this:
the most inline with the rest of the guides route, but wrong due to above
Park Tool glueless inner tube patches (sort of rubbery feel) on the frame do a great job of resisting cable rub though. Else if it’ll look gash, some on the offending hose will do ime.Posted 11 years ago
frame1 by rOcKeTdOgUk, on FlickrPosted 11 years agoMy old SCOTT Taos after 13 years of rides, many crashes, many scratches, many upgrades, a bent derailleur hanger “fixed” with a wrench and a nice muddy ride:
Looks brand new to me!
Posted 11 years agoIt’s less than a year old, but it’s french, so i think that counts as knackered?? 😉
Posted 11 years agoMy 07 Iron Horse MkIII
Replaced one swingarm under warranty, but by the time the second one cracked, they had gone under. So some nice solid gussets instead.
Still has some healthy dents on the down tube & even the bottom bracket shell.
Now retired to street duties.Posted 11 years agoI think my old ellsworth may have had a slight crack in it am now on a blur classic frame from 2004 with all it’s bits transplanted.
Posted 11 years agoPosted 11 years agoKona of uncertain age – still being thrown around various local loops on a regular basis. Bit bone-rattling but very good fun! The addition of a stem adaptor and a modern pop up stem has helped the handling no end.
Posted 11 years agoOnly lasted a year and a bit, the PA that replaced it is now nearly five.
Posted 11 years agohere’s a few retro beasties:

Looks like a 1993 to me, is it a Hahannah? I had one as my first proper mtb.
My 6 year old Blur 4X frame, ’07 36 Van RC2 forks, rear wheel is of 2004 vintage, everything else has been replaced in the past 2 years. Have just picked up a DHX5, waiting on new shock top hats through the post to be able to fit it.
BlurFrontOn by le_grande_momo, on FlickrIt’s nice and clean in this pic, but it’s far from pretty up close!
