Man Prosecuted in Britain After Buying a Stun Gun to Fit on his Mountain Bike
Not that i agree with the buying of the stun gun and all these shocking puns aside.
Maybe if the Police did more to help us out with all the bike thefts going on rather than just giving a crime number and not doing jack sh*t about it. People wouldn't be so inclined to protect their hard earned property. Yet soon as you do something about it, you end up in as much, if not more trouble than the scumbag robbing your bike/car/house etc. FTS

$120 GBPRockshox Reba Suspension Fork. I think they are a 2013 but i'm not sure.
Inc. Handlebar Pop.Loc/Lockout
100mm Travel
Rebound Control
Solo Air
9mm QR
26" Wheel Compatible
210mm Steerer

Good light XC forks with plenty of life. No marks to uppers but some signs of use on the lowers.
They work perfectly fine as is, but with any used part i sell, recommend a service but these are a fit and ride fork. Perfect for a lightweight XC build or just looking to upgrade shocks from the likes of SR Suntour "X" brands.
Happy to post or cash on collection or paypal as per forum rules.
Any questions please ask.

Nov 19, 2018RETRO RIDE - Orange Gringo
$180 GBPI have in my possession for a near mint 1998/1999 Orange Gringo.
This is a near original retro xc bike. In very very good condition - original paint and decals nigh on intact.
This is very much a collectors bike but could be ridden if you wanted - i've taken it for a shake down ride after the rebuild was completed and it rides very nicely. There will be some cable stretch as everything is new. But here is a list of the parts -
19" Orange Alu Frame (Inc. orginal decals).
Orange Supercross 2 handlebars - relatively short width as per style of the 90s
Orange Stem and face plate
Ergotec2 seat post (lettering slightly rubbed off from use).
QR Alu seatpost clamp
Rubber Grips
New Shimano Cassette (9spd)
Shimano Deore 9 x 3 Shifters
New 9 Speed Chain (to match cassette)
New Cabling all round
SR Suntour Crankset
"Beartrap" Wellgo Pedals
Rockshox Suspension (Coil Sprung) inc. handlebar poplock (working perfectly).
26 x 2.10 Tyres
160mm disc brakes
SHIMANO WH - M575 16 Cross Spoke retro XC wheels
Shimano Deore LX Mega 9 speed Front and rear Mech's
I have two sets of brakes for the bike - a period set of Shimano XT levers matched to BR M415 Mechanical calipers or a set (currently fitted) of Shimano BR-BL-M315 Hydraulic Brakes.
The bike has just been rebuilt so as said. New cassette, chain, cables (inners and outers) - has new brakes & pads fitted and retro brake set with new pads and cables (mechanical).
The fork has been serviced and has been correctly oiled and is plush and works perfectly with the included pop-loc.
The bottom bracket has been removed and serviced, greased and replaced and has no play what so ever.
Obviously this a retro bike and as such has wear and tear as its been used and loved but its in great condition and a real find.
I have priced it high i know but think its worth it given what you see these days passing as "real" mountain bikes and this is one of the original xc orange bikes of the 90's, a classic and would make a brilliant wall bike or an excellent addition to someones retro ride collection. That said. I have no need for it so its up for sale and there is a fair bit of movement in my price. So feel free to make an offer. I'll be putting it on ebay shortly.
Thanks

Sep 9, 2012Formula B4 SL Brakes Front & Rear
$70 GBPWorlds Lightest brakes at one point - 300grams!! They are magnesium coated (accounts for a very odd colour - its not discoloured thats just the magnesium coating)
The brakes are in excellent, near mint condition. Great power, modulation, feel. Reach adjustment.
Included are a pair of rotors and all the lightweight bolts, think they are 140 & 160mm not sure. but you get the brakes Front and Rear. Including pads (about 40% worn), braided hoses, rotors. Everything you need really. Boxed with instruction manual. These are like new. Only selling as now stripping my bike to rebuild and i have something different in mind. Can be fit and ridden straight away.
Will split sale if you want £35 front, £35 rear. Think thats a fair price but if i'm wrong let me know what you want to offer. Cheers
Open to any reasonable offer though. Will post for £8.00 - cheap due to weight!!
