Re: Still going strong!

I've got a 94 VW Corrado VR6 (same year as my Orange P7) and also collect nikes and ralph lauren from the 90s...probably due to my love for 90s hip-hop! Seems to be a correlation between retro bikes and retro dubs definitely.

That's shit that. All the worse that it might be a neighbour too. Worth putting a sign up in your hallway with a pic...someone might have seen them? Have a peep down the roman road and ask the little fuckers outside cost-cutter! Failing that have a look at brick lane market although it's...

the markings on the sidewall point to the front. is this meant to be a front tyre then? I'll have to have a proper look. Nice one mate.

Doubt I'll make that ride but I'm defo up for getting to one of them. Nice one.

Having moved from Liverpool to London and from relatively flat coastal rides to hilly / grassy rides I have ventured into the world of retro mountain bikes. As a 80s baby with an affinity towards anything from the 90s, the bike has followed on from my love of anything 90s...cars, music, trainers...

I'm waiting for a response off the missus...see if she is interested. How do you think this would fit a 5' half inch (apparently that half inch is important!) woman?

The biggest tip I can give is to take is nice and slow on the cuts to keep them clean...particularly the outers. My first few cuts of the outers deformed the plastic through heat so make sure you go don't cut on one place for a prolonged time or at a high speed or it will heat the plastic up...

I went to Maplin and got a massive fake dremel kit with loads of bits. I used a cutting disc and then a polishing disc and they worked brilliant. Outers were polished to a clean finish and cables could even be made to a point for easy threading through the outers. Can't recommend this enough. I...

PM sent re psychos.

PM sent re psychos.

I'll take the chill pills. Sending PM now.

you're a star. cheers mate. getting them ordered now. how are you finding the xm317 rims? heard they are good for £20 rims.

nice one mate. is that for all spokes? that would be nice and easy if they're 264 all-round.

Does anybody know what sizes front and rear shimano M563 parallax hubs are to calculate spoke lengths to lace them to Mavic XM317 (none disc type). I'm even having trouble getting the rim size of the XM317 rims. DT swiss calculator says ERD = 545mm, Mavic's tech site says 'spoke support...

probably not a good idea sending from the states but if I don't get anywhere I will defo give you a shout! cheers.

7 speed. I'd prefer pretty cheap but open to offers. Rims would do.

no offers? Any idea of some good rims I can buy nowadays? x517 are later than 94 but I can buy a version of them now.

Got a cracked rear rim on a 94 orange P7. I can get some rims and have them relaced or splash out on a full wheelset. So seeing if anyone here has anything interesting. Rims or wheelset...ideally new or nearly new and in fitting with the bike. If rims...need to be 32H.

gonna have a go at this. might be a bit too small but worth a crack.
