| I'm the original owner of a 1991 Cannondale SE1000. Most of the original parts are long gone. Is $200 for the frame and fork set too much? :-) Anybody interested? by: 205.200.192.85 |

| I'm interested what is the name of this Hercules bicycle and it's production year or period of manufacturing. Also origin - German, British or Indian. Thanks.

| Looks English. Looks incredible, too! Try posting that photo under the English Roadster topic. by: 71.184.108.33 |
| Got here by accident, this Hercules is not British. Also the handlebars are far too high. Is it Chinese? by: 92.1.249.221 |

MISC: Redline Platinum 20th Anniversary model

| Found an interesting one today. 20th Anniversary Redline. Sticker under the clearcoat says it's number 1 of 100. TruTemper OX Ultra II steel. I've heard of this model in BMX, but not as a mountain bike. Interestingly it has a Browning Aero-Tech fork. Something like a linkage fork from a folding bike. The CL listing said it had XC Pro, which is what piqued my interest. Unfortunately, just RD and shifters. Mismatching wheels, later model Shimano crank, 987 cantis. by: 131.191.62.172 |

| Hi, I would like to know how do i go about having my bike frame repainted to original factory specs, consisting of color and lettering. Where do i send it. my bike is a schwin sierra and the color is a smoked chrome. Thank You cai by: 67.188.57.57 |
| Ask at a good cycle shop or surf around the internet. There are many good & expensive shops (Cyclart, e.g.) that will do it. A cheap one that will do a good restoration is much harder to find. For a fairly common production bike that's a rider (and not a collector's item) I think I'd go with powder coating. As an "investment," professional repainting is not likely to be worth it. by: 216.15.114.27 |
| Good luck with the black chrome finish. Apparently back in the early 90's it was done away with due to something in the process being environmentally unfriendly - much worse than regular chrome. by: 75.147.73.37 |
| Best bet is to get it powder coated if you want a factory type paint job. Look for a local power coating operation and call them to see what the smallest amount of work they do. It will probably cost a couple hundred for the minimum charge which would should get you several bike frames or a frame and some metal furniture done.

Crank: Sahae SX, Brakes: Shimano cantilever. Rims: Alesa 26x1.75 Made in Belgium. Brake Levers: Star. Anyone familiar with this brand or know anything about this bike.

AGE / VALUE: Ellsworth Truth Frame

| I found a mountain bike on craigslist that I'm interested in buying, but I'm not crazy about the price. Its a 2006 Ellsworth Truth with the Fox float rear suspension. She's asking $800--but that seems too high. What is the value of that frame? by: 69.171.160.164 |
| If it seems too expensive don't buy it. Put it on your watch list and if it goes unsold the seller may reduce the price. Bear in mind that what you see is what you get and on Ebay you cannot see. On Ebay also shipping cost eats into your value a lot. Try your local Craigslist instead. by: 72.208.212.224 |
| The Truth is a great trail frame. A classic really, it may be worth 800 with the rear shock. If it has a BB and a seat post and anything else is worth a little more. Be wary of cracks. I always wonder why is the frame stripped? The truth was a great bike built up so why was it dismantled. Its a great first question and it often leads you to good information. Was it stolen and parted out? Hmmmm. by: 68.142.40.255 |
AGE / VALUE: Scott Peak Adventure

| Came across a near mint Scott Peak. Shimano 200GS so I've gathered it's pre-1993. Anyone have anymore info on this bike or it's exact age? by: 75.158.108.169 |
AGE / VALUE: original stumpjumper tires
posted by: Toren

| I have an amazingly well preserved set of vintage stumpjumper tires. From what I've read they were made during 81-83. They are in excellent condition, barely ridden. How much do these things sell for? by: 98.204.167.45 |
| There must be someone... but I've never heard of collectible tires, really. Some people want original tires for old bikes, but I don't think these are old enough to fall in that category. Don't save 'em, use 'em. by: 216.15.114.27 |
| It's not safe to use tires that old. Rubber deteriorates with age, not just with use. by: 72.208.212.224 |
| I've been looking for a pair of tires to use on my 1982 Ritchey restoration. I realize the original message is a few months old, but if you still have these Stumpjumper tires I'm definitely interested, please shoot me an email: greyhound_velo@cox.net by: 72.192.164.85 |
| hello. if you still have those tyres or any other old specialized parts, i'm collecting these to build up into a couple of early rockhoppers, 1 hardrock, 1 s-works & 1 stumpjumper.. thank.s by: 94.194.56.17 |
AGE / VALUE: Believed to be an 83 Univega Alpina Pro
posted by: Toren
on 9/1/2009 at 9:49:44 AM
| I own what I believe to be an 83 Univega Alpina Pro. It is a steel, tig welded frame, dark maroon color with eyelets and braze ons for rack and fenders and 3 waterbottles. It has sealed cartridge bearing hubs, funky quick release seat post, 6 speed freewheel, sugino AT 165mm cranks and mountech deraillers. There is a sticker on the seat tube that says made in japan and a sticker from the Greasy Wheel in Plymouth NH. I'll supply pictures soon. Does anyone know much about these bikes? I'd love to know more. by: 209.114.129.130 |

Bianchi Forte (black with green lettering. 2. Specialized Rockstar (cream and pink with lime lettering) Aprox value of each??? by: 67.183.59.86 |
| Dahhh: I obviously made a mistake--the Specialized is a HARDROCK comp model. by: 67.183.59.86 |
