I guess this counts as vintage being obsolete but being able to buy it today via an LBS sort of goes against the spirit of vintage.
I have I beam saddles that do work for me overall. No creaks, very light and they never move once put in place. I have been looking for a ye olde 26.8mm I beam seatpost for a very long time without success. Something I don't need but had to have.
Then one popped up at Lusty. I called Blackman's Parramatta to grab it. Lusty could even find it in their palatial warehouse.

VERY Nice Classic DH frame there!
Did you buy it from an electrician? (Cable guides mounted with self tappers.)
Whats the deal with the c-channel on the top tube??

Hey fellow vintage fellas and gals, saw this for sale and it's a RM2xs.
Seems it's seen better days judging by the description but wondering what sort of money is it worth. I mean is it a super collectable that's out of my price range or do you think it's just an old banger that only warrants a low offer.
YES, I KNOW ITS WORTH WHAT SOMEONE WILL PAY FOR IT

Oddjob
Merry fucking Xmas to you assholes
Not worth a lot. It's had a hard life and the cost of fixing the issues will be $$$, that's before you consider the frame.Hey fellow vintage fellas and gals, saw this for sale and it's a RM2xs.

Well it's been sold, if it was still for sale when I went to brizzy on Tuesday I would of made a low offer.
Now who in brizzy has a cheap piece of shit for me to buy
Let Me Google That
For all those people that find it more convenient to bother you with their question than to google it for themselves.

Dragged my 20 year old pos out of the shed yesterday. Barracuda haha. Serviced it, everything works as it should now. This thing has been belted all over Mt Keira/Kembla and Cootha (when I moved to QLD).
Going to put it back into service and take my son on a few rides.

Well it never rains it pours! I just bought another beone but a full bike this time that also belonged to Bas De Bever, check out the prototype team only fork! 40/50 were made in the manitou shop for specific riders, they were also one of the first forks to use 20w oil in the lowers, everyone else was using damper fluid apparently which isnt a good lubricant an is sticky, even fox forks years after this started off using damper fluid in the lowers!
I am going to be after some very specific parts for this build namely the Weinmann Stuka Rims which I cant seem to find anywhere.
