Lovely that. Glad it gets to keep its patina. Headtube looks big for 17" frame.

Tell us more about Norwegian workhorse. And where in Norway? Fantastic country. Good folks

Frame on that Mountain Goat is fabulous. It might get my vote but it's not an easy choice.

Well I am less grumpy. But woefully ignorant. However there's some info here: https://www.retrobike.co.uk/threads/decals-before-lacquer-or-tother-way-round.230486/page-2 Post some pics of the frame : )

That Muddy Fox isn't just making up the numbers. Love it. And well done rescuing the original paint. Better than covering everything in powdercoat.

PMd re Ritchey brakes

The grey 1996 Velocity stem had no hanger. I tried one on my own '93 Cinder Cone but it looked naff. Colour looked bad and they lack the elegant taper of the earlier stems. There's a pic of one here...

The only Brooks saddle I ever had was in good nick. I kind of liked the look tbh, but it made my bits go numb after 5 miles whatever way I angled it. Sold. My usable saddles are set flat or very, very slightly nose down if bars much lower than seat. Obviously saddle set up is a personal...

That is an exceptionally well spent $75. Buy yourself a beer. Or three. I'd be looking for a 410 Kona P2 fork. In triple butted form. Light, good to look at and they do soak up some bumps.

What size is that? Guessing 19.5". Any dents? Dropping you a PM.

That does indeed look great. Original paint with a few wee scratches and chips is the way to go : )

Ah well, the shifting issue was easily sorted with a switch to friction mode. Shifts lovely. M730 shifters are six speed and cassette is 7. Doh. Fitted a Tektro brake booster and it seems to have eased the squeal. Can't say it's a thing of beauty but I don't see it when riding. Must say I...

Am aware of fork issue. But aim was to build it up with what I had stashed. I expect it will gradually morph back to a proper spec when a nice 390mm TB fork and funds become available. I have a v good non-threaded triple butted 410mm P2 that I might sell or swap for the right fork. Until...

Dammit. Didn't spot that. 2nd in line pls.

First shake-down ride out this. Sub-zero mostly but sunny when I set off. Very frosty where the sun doesn't get. The Cinder Cone rides great, is comfortable and the steering seems good. Niggles: 1. Front brake squeal despite careful toe-in. I hate that. May try a booster in case it is fork...

Looks great. I wouldn't be repainting that. Looking forward to some pics after cleaning.

That Dirt Shark.....what a fab thing. The Blizzard and Ganna Cruiser are lovely too but I fear saddle angles would cause bits to go numb then drop off.

Well that would explain it : ) Frohe Weihnachten one and all

I think KayOs has it. It's like the 'ch' in Scottish loch. English folk often struggle with it and say lock. https://www.andrew.cmu.edu/user/ujf/blog/German_ch.html Austrian probably quite similar?
