Suntour XC Expert rear mech. Doesn't have to be mint, just fully functioning

It does make me laugh when I see some 'Retro' bikes for sale, and the price they ask because it's 25 years old! Back in the day it was crap, nothing has changed, it's still crap imo! I'm not going to give examples here, as I don't want anybody crying! But here's my car comparison. When I was a...

Re: Re: Yeah, would appear so? Although thankfully there's no damage to the rest of the bike!

Re: Re: Lovely little Turner, should clean up nicely! Although I need a new rear mech, never seen one broke like this!

Another one saved! Do love me an old 'groove tuber'!

To be collecting a stock GT Borrego, later today! :lol:

Good condition, one owner from new! Could do with a new set of decals size 17" £150

For sale, '92 size 16. Complete with mech hanger and drop-out adjusters. I will also include the complete U-brake assembly. I have spent over 30 hours prepping this frame, paint stripped, thoroughly sanded and wire wooled. The frame has also been internally treated with BLO. More photos...

Re: Re: Stop it! :facepalm:

Well, I can now testify that pure acetone also doesn't work at removing BLO! If you happen to BLO a steel frame, ensure you don't get any on the exterior! :facepalm:

Re: Re: Great! :D

Yeah I kinda thought that, thanks matey! :wink:

It's something I applied myself internally to a '92 Corrado, so it's definitely BLO. It's basically ran out of the various holes when it's been drying. I'll try some turps, although I'll give the acetone a miss, scared that might be a little harsh. Thanks for the response, folks!

Effective way to remove solidified boiled linseed oil from a frame, anybody found a safe effective method? I've tried GT85 and petrol, both ineffective! Tried a hairdryer and scraped with my finger nails, I'm fed up now! :roll:

Nice colourway! ✌️

Not yet complete, but pretty close! Not to everyone's taste, but wanted to do something a little different than my other 'period' Turner's...

Yeah it's in pretty good shape, paintwork needs a little 'touch up' here and there and a couple of bits, but generally it's lovely! :wink:

Looks pretty standard. Needs a front mech and a pair of shifters. Seatpost and that beautiful stem moving freely! Would love to keep myself, but I've got 3 projects in the pipeline and no room! Size 18" £175 Bike is located in Pershore, Worcs Message me for photo's etc 07759 457262...

A few pics of my latest acquisition to follow, soon...

Did a little research on Knight cycles, interesting stuff! Surprised to find out, than even at their peak they were only knocking out 7 frames a week! Unfortunately when the frames started pouring in from Taiwan and China, knight's frame building days were soon to be over, and by the early 90's...
