I cheaped out and just used the 30mm bolt, oversized nut, and a washer method. Worked just fine.

The prognosis is not good on the fork. Looks like I may just make a gravel beast out of it. I'm still really surprised on how little I can find about this bike from the mid 90s. I only know Basso...

This is at the higher end of my size range for a mountain bike. Pretty sure I could make it work. I knew the $900 ebay price on a identical frame was too high, but I was hoping it was a rare enough...

Glad I could help. It took longer to figure out what to even search for than it did to actually fix the damn thing my first time. Have yet to have any of the ones I've tightened down come loose...

They seems to, pretty stiff and in need of some serious love. Poor thing got rained on a bit when it was in the scrap heap. I've managed to save similar models that were further gone than these, so...

Basso titanium MTB, odd scrap or cool find?

Found this odd guy under a scrap heap. Got a bit scratched up on its way out but the frame looks solid. Full XTR drive and brake levers (and rear hub). Looks like the shocks and stem were replaced...

Ah, I see now. I'd hit it with some penetrating oil to see if you can break it loose from the rivnut. If you are able to do that you might be able to throw a couple small washers on it and recrimp...

Could you post a photo of it? Depending on the tube diameter and general bike quality, I might just try to drill it out and replace the whole thing with a rivnut. Has worked fine for me with bottle...

I wish modern paint jobs held up a little better. Most of the noticeable scratches on most my bikes are just from transportin/storing them. I accept the damage I get from a crash, but getting...

IF you want to do it on the cheap, hit up your local bike co-op. You can make a pretty sweet ride in a bike kitchen for under $100. I've seen plenty of newbs ride out with an decent frame and dated...

As long as you don't mind used, 400 could get you a decent hybrid. A new bike at that pricepoint usually isnt super reliable. Check out the local bike co-op or LBS for old consignments. There is...
