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

NOS wire bead Specialized Ground Control 1.95

Classic tire designed by Charlie Cunningham. This one is in very nice shape - even has the mold fuzz still on it.

Another Cinelli Giro D'Italia bar

Can't have enough of these. This one will go on Cunningham Racer #6C - a current work in progress.

C Record pearl housing

I really do love this stuff and it is great to have it when doing a restoration.

1986/87 Yeti FRO (round top tube) ser# QR0309

This is how a Yeti should look (though the Patco oval top tubes are cool too).

This bike has an interesting serial number and seems to have been a team frame.

boxes

In an effort to make piles of bike parts look better, I picked up some old wooden boxes to replace the blue Rubbermaid bin.


Ritchey Logic levers

These levers were based on the Dia Compe ADV5, SS-7, etc line of levers but with tweaks to Tom Ritchey's spec. They are some of my favorite for cantilevers or rollercams.

Suntour Superbe Pro brakeset

Getting ready to set up Cunningham #31 (a roadbike) but discovered that the neat CLB brakeset I picked up was too long. Quel dommage. So, I picked up this early-ish Suntour Superbe set which should work well and look nice.
