Re: If these had a straight steerer i would have them in the blink of an eye at that price

Some great sounding ideas guys. I have tried a vice and twisting the frame, next will be the application of heat to the seat tube. I think getting out the glued in shim is the way forward and getting a new one machined to fit as the old one is pretty much done in now. Hopefully i can spend some...

Ahh. Thanks for the knowledge. I presumed that it was a shim for a smaller seatpost. I have a feeling this might be time consuming. I might start taling offers now as it is!

As the title says really. I have an orange (painted version) X-lite Fly 1 1/8" 95mm 10deg rise. Looking to swap for the shorter vesrion (I think 65 or 70mm). The paint isnt in great condition and weirdly enough under the paint it is anodised (blue from what I recall) If anyone is interested I...

Fortunately it's the shim that's been cut into. It does look like there's a tiny crack on the relief hole at the bottom of the slit (looks like it was made from the last owner trying to pry it open!). I think from where he has tried prying it open it has tightened up the back of the seat tube. I...

I'm 50-50 on what I'm doing with it. If I was to keep it; Probably keep the wheel set on it (or replace with a spare set of hope pro 2 in red and blue for some bling) Pace rc 31 Avid mags Avid mag v-brakes bronze\orange or shimano DX in red Red Chris king headset Keep the seatpin if I can...

Mike muz 67. I have a feeling it might be getting sold once I sort out the seat post as I've just starting building up an intense 5.5 as well as re-building my sunn bmix. One must go!

Mike muz 67, would that be gas for myself to numb the pain of the situation?

Knowing just how corrosive and nasty coca cola is, this does sound like it might work! Cant do any harm to give it a go. Cheers

Ive recently picked up a sunn exact ti (1997). the problem is that the seatpost is stuck in the frame, its an ameoba titanium post but it looks like the last owner has used an aluminium shim between them. he has tried forcing the seat tube open and made a bit of a hash of it and also snapped off...

Ill post some flicks this evening. I will probably sell it if no one wants to swap. Cheers

Thanks. Not what i was after though, my friend had a hitman and it was a great bike but just felt a bit to short for me when i had a go on it (felt a similar size to my airo)

Re: Intense 5.5 EVP frame Cheers. That is one fine looking ride. Im definitley going to go for the raw finish after seeing this, might have to get some white decals made up to go with my magura t150's.
