Obsessive searching for vintage mountain bikes and components. Some occasional road bike love too.

J.P. Weigle road bike

Ooh la la - I can't believe it. I have an auto search for J.P. Weigle on the off chance that one of his bikes showed up in my size. Weigle is arguably the top frame builder in America and he no longer builds road bikes. Today I was so pleasantly surprised to see one of his bikes come up in my size. I can't wait to build this up.

XC Pro pedals and Fisher toe clips

These are my fave Suntour pedals and a nice bonus is that they come with the Cunningham knock-off/inspired Fisher double toe clips.

Cook Bros titanium bar

Decently long, cool bar. It came from a Cunningham and may well go back on another.



Mountain Goat "bullmoose"

When I picked up a gimped-out 1985 Mountain Goat Deluxe I didn't have high hopes on finding the correct bar/stem combo, especially after I found out that Bikeman had sold the one it had. And then this appeared...



Suntour ARX rear derailleur

I am doing a light restore of an older fillet brazed Steve Potts mountain bike. Luckily, the bike came with the original build sheet so I knew that the main missing items were a Suntour ARX rear derailleur and some modified Magura grips. Done and done.



Shimano 600 brake levers

Bought these as raw material for modification. Got a project in the works - I call it Notto.
