Great job on that shifter. I'm on the second indexed shifter on my 1989 Marin Bear Valley which has the full Mountain LX monty. I was lucky to pick one up off eBay (I was going to win that auction whatever the price!). If it happens again I know what to do now. The rest of the groupset has been rock solid.

Same phosphorescent yellow colour as yours in my later 90s Marin Eldridge Grade...whole frame is that colour with sick red blood spattering drops overlay...

Thanks for the video. I have a 1993 Scott Extralite and the exact same derailleurs and all Shimano Dior DX parts. I want to change the cable but couldn't find the information.

No offense, but every bike is so small for its current rider that none can be taken remotely serious. All are mediocre bikes to begin with, but the seat post is a giveaway that whoever purchased those bikes did so without knowing the importance of fit.

Currently have 3 muddy fox bikes.. Adventurer 90, Alu pro 92, Alu Team 92. Love them.. Will never let them go.

You pretty much just showed theives where to go.

best channel on yt :))

liked and sub'd .. this decided it for me.. Lots of reviews about this tent. BUT yours is the only one in the real rain . yu say its sealed.. You show its sealed .. Jobs a goodun :)🤓🎬📽

Have a Kona Sutra with redshift suspension. It is not the comfiest way to get from A to B, my recumbent Touring trike with full suspension is. The trike is better for touring as no sores, numb hands or aches, can climb any hill as slow as you like and handling not effected by wind or luggage.

In 2025 I am now 45 years old and “back” own my 1992 Marin Eldridge Grade in Black/Signal Red. This bike is my Teenage Pride. My Original was stolen just a few weeks after purchase. My expensive padlock was cut and the bike was gone forever. About 5-6 years ago I found myself still again complaining about the “love I had lost”... and so i went searching. I repeated my search and finally found one on eBay. I couldn't believe my Eyes. I had found the exact same bike. Yes, I checked the frame numbers, but I had several pieces of evidence that proved it wasn't mine, because the seller had all the Paperwork complete, 1st Owner, "completely original" and a Sticker on the Seatstay from a long gone bike shop where he bought it himself in 1992 in that City. The LX pedals even had the original but annoying slip-on baskets. The brake cables were still the 2.0mm Version. The front tire was also still the “long dry rotted” Rockstar Sierra 26x2.1. A cheap black Schwalbe Tire at the back and even that tire was already worn down. The downside was that it was 200 km away from my city. Beggars can't be choosers, so I placed a bid and won it for about $50. I took my car and headed to pick it up. Since then I've just renovated/revived everything and replaced both tires with period-correct Panaracer Smoke/Darts with skinwall. Since then I have felt whole again. Since the day my bike was stolen, it has truly torn a hole in my soul.

It’s a Stumpjumper, not a Stuntjumper.

This is a great video. Your US viewers need the diversion. Can we please have a new one soon?

That Dyna tech Pro my goodness she’s beautiful

I DIDNT KNOW people can camp on the queens land

lol that farmer is an angel

yup comfy cruising cant bear a good 80s 531st

I don’t see a reason for me to personally upgrade from DX to XT shifters, since they work just fine.

the lugs are bonded and so is the frame, ive a 93 ogre xce, rear triangle is dyna drive, titanium along with the seat post. the sister bike the mtrax 500/600 had the steel rear triangle, wihle the 700 was also full ti

3rd time I’ve watched this 😂 ❤

I was the manager of the Fat City machining and tacking department when that yo eddy was made. Steel is real fellas….. those Can o ales were awful to ride for distances beyond your mailbox😂

might just be the funniest bike channel on yt P.S nice car

Meanwhile i've such a Team Marin in my collection too. We bought 2 Marins in 1991 in a bike shop in Munich/ Germany for two girls in our mountain bike group. One of this "girls" has it recently given as a gift in my hands

I've got a mk1 Raleigh mirage with a 501 frame and at the time, Raleigh was fitting qr hubs on the front and bolt on rear and sometimes even miss matched rims out of the factory, just to use up old stock.

since halfords stopped doing colour matching, for tiny touch ups, i found boots and there massive nail varnish range, very handy, then a quick squirt of clear coat.

it looks like the same crank arms, on the Shimano 600 Ultegra,

I have a realy vintage one, a Meister vrom the 1950s 🙂

Socks & Sandles- Noooo!

I bet your wife/ partner loves it when you put you lod bike bits in the kitchen sink!!!😂

If its lockdown as you say, where is your mask ????

The Hewitt has longer chain stays, this gives you more heel clearance when you mount rear panniers.

Nice 🇲🇦👍

I like Peugeot mtb

bikes are too small for you. I'm sure you know.

lovely bikes! what size is the Kona Explosif please?

Good work, well worth it. Switching from flats to SPDs in my late teens transformed my mountain biking. So much more efficient uphill, surprisingly helpful downhill. I've got 3 sets now, including the red cage DX version popular with downhillers back in the day. The original pair I bought around 2003 are still going strong!

That's a hell of an effort.

I just recognised that Soul 2 Soul music clip as one from my old CD collection. Funkmaster Flex… wonder what he’s riding now. He missed a trick not releasing an MTB stem before Girvin!

Any updates on the S-Works Prestige? Did you get around to repaint the fork? Would love a follow up 😊

I thought it might have been a Raleigh Bomber i had one way too big for me and heavy but i loved it

11.09kgs = 24.449lbs. Whilst I like the fuchsia, I’d take the purple Ti anytime. Re the Mint Sauce stickers, I still have a load, that like the calendars, are priceless. I’m surprised you didn’t put Coleman Cow on, as his alter ego is Fx5: (the) Fantastic Fabulous Formidable Fuchsia Friesian.

You're quite welcome. I'm one hundred percent dialed in every time you speak. Thanks again for choosing to share that fountain of knowledge of yours with the rest of us.

Tongue in cheek? Nah, all cheek!!

No blokes impaled by shoddy old MTB forks! Why did I watch this video?

Such cool bikes and fun tour!!

Original rim is Specialized Z21 Pro S-Work version (machined side wall)

This bike was speced with full XT components in Canada. I bought one new back in 1994 for about $1,600. I still have the rigid fork. The bike has been converted to a drop bar gravel bike but I still have the original parts.

Incredible collection. Really slightly envious. More, I honestly wish I could visit and see them in-person. You seem like such a fun dude to hang out with. Fun fashion sense both in clothing and in bikes. If I wasn't afraid of how much it would cost me (both the parts and your efforts), I'd almost ask if you had any time to help someone state-side find something similarly fun. In the meantime, I'll try loving my 85 Elkhorn as best I can. Just started a new job, and looking forward to my first paycheck in <2 weeks. I'm still trying to determine what toys to buy in what order (I'm thinking of getting at least a proper heart rate monitor to help me manage my newly-found fitness, as well as maybe a full bike fit, and some cycling shoes), but I'm very much looking forward to giving the Elkhorn some modern rubber.

Gosh this is so gorgeous. While I do love the salmon? peach? color the forks got, I do think I would have redone it with something even brighter and more obnoxious to match the rest of the components. Unless you have/had grips and cable that match the paint... But still, I think the hot pink looks amazing. Really finding a lot of inspiration from this color scheme. Earlier tonight I saw a jersey that's similar, I think, and then seeing this... It kind of feels like it's roughly lining up with a color palette I've been wanting to play with. Hadn't planned on the blue, but it might work!

Excellent. I giggled a lot through this one 😅
