It's a Surly Karate Monkey fork.

So finally went rigid!

Thanks for the feed back. Im now playing with the idea of going rigid but doing a half fat SS, running a Surly Knard 3" tyre up front. Anyone doing/done this? See its big in the States and Europe.

Hi Guys So I've been riding my SS with a suspension fork and thinking of going rigid. Can you guys give me some pros and cons and maybe your experience riding rigid. thanks

Flip i love that Salsa!!!!

The Gryphon is a awesome frame. But I have my heart set on a Swift. But it should go quick.

Hi Looking for a large blue singular swift. Anyone selling?

Hi Guys Here is my On One inbred 29er.

Hey Guys I this Exocet downhill frame. Im guessing it was locally made in the 90's, but actually have no clue. Does anyone possibly have any info on the frame etc. Thanks

Thats going to be so Nice when its done!!!!

Beautiful Nitto craft stem I got for my Peugeot track bike.

Hi Guys I recently got a Bridgestone RB-1 Synergy to restore. The bike is a little rough, but nothing a little elbow grease can't fix. After looking through some catalogues Ive identified it as a 1988 model. The Bridgestones came out with Shimano 105 (1050/1051 series parts) The bike currently has mix of Shimano 105 and 105sc (1055 series) parts. So I need to swop out the 105sc parts, to get the bike back to orginal condition. I don't want to have a showroom piece. Just a bike to enjoy. I would like to keep the cost as low as possible so condition isn't of the highest importance, but i don't want trashed parts. So I'm looking for the following: 105 36h rear hub - FH1050 105 Rear derailleur - RD1050 105 Brake levers - BL1050/B1051 Im also looking for a set of bar end shifters 7sp or 8sp. Any help will be appreciated. thanks Dan

Glen does awesome work. Definitely the guy to see for classic builds, parts and restorations in Gauteng.

Wow Evan, thats really beautiful! Is this the one Glenzito restored for you?

The guys name is Glen "GLENZITO" on the hub.

Yes it is Ax pin and cover. The frame has really interesting tubing, there is no markings on the tubing. Would be interesting to find out what it is. At first I thought it was made from alliumium.

i'll pm you there details.

Hi Guys I have two locally made track frames. The first is a Mcintosh and the second is a Du Toit which is missing its fork. Non of the frames have any stickers or indications on what tubing was used, but they are both quiet light. The Du Toit has very interesting tubing. I myself have never seen anything like it. Will need to contact Mr Du Toit to find out more about it, unless one of you guys have any idea or history on the frame. Its just a pity it doesn't have the orginal fork.... thanks

Glen has some awesome stuff! I can recommand him.

Hey guys! Wondering if you guys can help. I'm looking for some cotton bar tape. Does anyone have some they willing to part with or know locally were i could find some?

Hi guys Hopefully someone can help me. I'm looking for a replacement lock nut for my dura ace 7400 rear brake caliper. I'm currently use a normal nut which works perfect. But cosmetically it looks well, you know what...... Does any one have a spare or know where I can find one? Thanks Dan

I would have to agree with eddy too, I've learnt a lot over the last year. Yes I have ask guys on the forum for help, but most of my knowledge was and is gained from doing research into parts, brands etc. With all the research I've done and do, I've become more passionate about vintage bikes.
