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

2Wheel Resource - Edmonchuck reprazent
Who would have thought that the late 80s/early 90s Two Wheel Resource jerseys were floating around eBay. ...
Salsa Fit Finder
This device is kinda derivative of the CAT Fitfinder, but that's fine. It does 1 1/8 and is nice to look at too. I've wanted one for a bit.

XTR M900 crankset NIB
Although there have been improvements in functionality since Shimano first launched XTR (M900) the finish on the first group has not been paralleled. The cranks were the centerpiece. Beautiful, elegant, functional.

Snake Belly cruiser tires in Jacquie Phelan Red!
A distinctive part of Otto were the red tires Alice B. Toeclips used. Soon another Cunningham will get the same treatment.
Araya RM20
These rims were designed by Charlie Cunningham. Light weight, strong, beautifully finished. Nice to find a reasonably priced NOS set!
Machine Tech hubs laced to Ceramic Mavic 217
Might be problems with the rear cassette. We ... shall ... see ...
Specialized Ground Control/S
Appear to be very nice shape. The perfect tires for my Cunningham restoration.
Fausto Coppi with Chorus 10-speed
Kinda retro with lugs, flair, brazing and the very nice ti and alloy Chorus 10 speed kit. Fast?

WTB Hubset(s)
Picked up two WTB hubsets - a "good" one and a "bad" one. Over time WTB transformed from the first, and best, maker of ultra-high end mountain bike components to a mass-market OEM lever producer. WTB still makes some tires that find favor, but the company isn't really the same.
This first hubset is transitional with the WTB classic Grease Guard front and the New Paradigm rear but with the old-tyme high-gloss anodizing.

This second hubset is the mass-market type but the rear hub still seems decent ... I hope it is at least!

Fat Chance Team Comp
The Team Comp was the Fat Chance race bike. Built of light-weight Tange Prestige the frames were built with custom sizing and paint. The metallic flake in the pink and black doesn't show up. The build is rounded out with an aerosports carbon bar (very dangerous no doubt), IRD seatpost and Cook Bros cranks.
