bob Posted June 16, 2011 Posted June 16, 2011 Yip, I sold my MB Zip earlier this year. It was my first mountain bike. Got it new in 1989 / 90. I new I would regret selling it!!! Maybe around R4000.00??Thanks, may be able to get hold of a mint one, but had no idea of the value.
LeTurbo Posted June 20, 2011 Posted June 20, 2011 My project complete - ready to ride - all bearings new - all cables new, new brake hoods, new jag wire coversI have a new set of track wheels - on her with a flip flop rear hub, so I could run the 6 speed cassette...(Original wheels will be slowly restored, the braking surface was shot....) After many hours research - on the serial no - the bikes is a MIYATA KOGA - 1986 PRODUCTION - 1986 /87 ... Oh schweeeet! V-e-r-y nice! And where in the name of tarnation did you get those lovely tyres?

When I was there he had an old TVT frame which was my dream bike as a kid, has a broken rear stay but he's going to fix it for himself. He has some really great NOS rims in his shop with some nice old frames too.
MTB0007 Posted June 22, 2011 Posted June 22, 2011 Today - being my second last day - 'JOB LESS' - I decided to strip my Kogas original wheels down since the braking surface of the rims was shot, I started at 10H00 - removed the spokes and cassett, - the original Shimano hubs were - sad looking under a few layers of paint..I used elbow grease - hot water and brasso, and at 14H00 - My Shimano hubs looked brand new.. I am looking to lace these puppies into some aero deep dish rims, - 36 spoke deep dish - seem to be scarce, If anyone has 2 - 36 spoke deep dish rims - I am looking to buy

They're about as deep a dish rim you'll be able to find with 36 holes.
