Mountainbike Sniper: Recent stuff - Fat, Chris King, IRC, Hi-E and Campy content
http://mtbsniper.blogspot.com/2010/12/recent-stuff-fat-chris-king-irc-hi-e.html
Obsessive searching for vintage mountain bikes and components. Some occasional road bike love too. Wednesday, December 15, 2010. Recent stuff - Fat, Chris King, IRC, Hi-E and Campy content. Winter is coming and so it is time to work on projects, pick up some extra needed parts, and maybe grab a bargain or two. Next, are a weirdo set of IRC X-1 tires. Why weird? Well, they are 24 inch and red. Still cool. And I have some 24 inch wheels that these would be sweet on. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Mountainbike Sniper: Another Cinelli Giro D'Italia bar
http://mtbsniper.blogspot.com/2010/11/another-cinelli-giro-ditalia-bar.html
Obsessive searching for vintage mountain bikes and components. Some occasional road bike love too. Tuesday, November 16, 2010. 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. Where do you get the handlebars cut and bent? I live in nyc as well and been looking to modify a couple of them.

Mountainbike Sniper: October 2009
http://mtbsniper.blogspot.com/2009_10_01_archive.html
Obsessive searching for vintage mountain bikes and components. Some occasional road bike love too. Sunday, October 4, 2009. Breezer parts day - Phil Wood and Suntour content. Picked up a couple items that I need for my Breezer Series II build. Outstanding parts are dwindling. Today picked up the No. 4 Phil Wood bottom bracket and a Suntour Cyclone GT rear derailleur. Saturday, October 3, 2009. I am looking for a little less rise on my Moots Vamoots (and wanted to stop with the mountainbike stem).

Mountainbike Sniper: October 2010
http://mtbsniper.blogspot.com/2010_10_01_archive.html
Obsessive searching for vintage mountain bikes and components. Some occasional road bike love too. Sunday, October 17, 2010. 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. In an effort to make piles of bike parts look better, I picked up some old wooden boxes to replace the blue Rubbermaid bin. Sunday, October 3, 2010. Suntour Superbe Pro brakeset.

Mavic's other flight of fancy ~ tears for gears
http://www.tearsforgears.com/2013/06/mavics-other-flight-of-fancy.html
Tuesday, June 04, 2013. Mavic's other flight of fancy. Besides electronic shifting, that is. The scale of this, however, was a little grander. Apparently, around 1984, Mavic opened their Air Department. The top image is of the 'Airplume' plane, an open cockpit 2 seater. The 2nd image is its spec sheet. The third shows photos and specs for the ' Avid Flyer. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Blogs at tears for gears dot com. View my complete profile. Subscribe in a reader.

April 2012 ~ tears for gears
http://www.tearsforgears.com/2012_04_01_archive.html
Wednesday, April 25, 2012. By the early oughts, teams stopped with the total insanity the 90's had introduced in to these races—the Rock Shox and full suspension rigs replaced with frames like Specialized's Roubaix, or in some cases, teams employing cyclocross bikes. Sure, there'd was the occasional one-off custom, carefully hidden under paint, but they became the exception rather than the rule. The last bastion of unique was the rim. Links to this post.
