Re: Do you think those are the original brakes? My first mtb was just like this, but black and neon green. Same brake levers and thumbshifters, which i spun under the bars to try and emulate rapid fires. Mine had stamped steel horseshoe brakes. It was from the states as well, brought up to...

Re: Wow that looks great

Re: 1992 Cannondale M700 Nice bike! Looking forward to the build!

Re: I have the same problem with a too small sentimental bike. I added some surly sunrise bars 83mm rise and 820 width and its very enjoyable now. Also some taller forks could be an option?

Re: Thanks vincenth, it was a beautiful day. Heres my two rockies: 1997 soul I bought new. I raced it cross country until losing my sponsorship and drifting away from the sport. Later It survived as a commuter by Vancouver somehow without getting stolen. It picked up a wierd mix of parts along...

Re: Long story, but 2 weekends ago I got to ride an original 97 Spice for 20kms.

Re: Wow, incredible bike. Good work!

Re: Good save on that cinder cone. Heres mine finished finally

Re: The new full suspension designs that rocky uses are a fairly direct descendant from the design on the 98 element. The bushings and bolts are still available on the rocky mountain website www.bikes.com in the parts section. I had a 97 spice (same frame) from new that got stolen, i always...

Re: Where in canada? I have a zoom stem and a black velocity in the okanagan?

Thanks keep it steel, the cone got a nice (much shorter) stem today Mini that aa is a beaut. The cranks look 100x better with the anodized bolts and nicer cap. Pip, thank you for your info. I double checked it is F4. Thats nice to know.

Re: Practicing with making full size picture, heres a quick mockup with some parts laying around. Ok i got it. Heres one more cindercone pic for luck

Re: Also i did find a nice shorter velocity stem for my Cinder Cone. What a lucky day. It will replaced an older 150mm joe murray style one that was too long.

I went to a used bike place to try and find a kona velocity stem for a 94 cinder cone which Im about to start a restoration on. I ended up leaving with an old purply kilauea frame and forks, but now that im looking around, i cannot find any the same? I am in western canada if that matters. The...

Re: Great work on a deserving bike! I had a 97 Spice, which i bought new, and got stolen shortly after. :x Just recently started looking for another one to fix up.

Re: Ok, i skipped a few steps, getting a clicking sound from the shocks to figure out still, but a quick ride around the neighbourhood looks promising.

Re: 1995? Will follow this!

Re: Thank you enc, your build threads were quite an inspiration to me before i started this project. I found a thin grease and lubed the shocks and reassembled. One of the top caps got a bit mangled on reassembly. I wish they wernt plastic. Today i had some free time, i needed a stand, so i...

Re: Blue and yellow are probably not going to complement the kona sparkle, the local bike shop sells the regular black white red rockshox decals, so ill pick two up for the lowers. And this is where im at now. How should I lubricate these forks? Will my marine grease be ok? Has judy butter...

Re: I have seen alot of posts on here about paraffin degreaser, however i could not find any here in Canada? So i bought some zep brand commercial stuff and shined up the parts that came with the bike. They seem to not have seen a ton of use. I shined up and regreased the wheels also. I used...
