And what I carry 'em in... the link being 1972...Proper retro...lol

...my bikes...

Mental wheels dude!

No! Your wrong! I Invented it in 1982 when I put a set of cow horns on my old 10 speed racer and went down Vallis near Frome in Somerset!

I must add,for own protection,i wore a paper hooded suit,a mask and goggles and obviously fine suede gloves,as,yes,you will look you have been mining for silver ore!...and great tip about the drill chuck/insulation tape combo! (I use a plastic chuck becuase of this reason). This polishing...

Give up pal, my mum who is 76 rides her bike on the pavement becuase shes shit scared of the amount of traffic which has appeared since 'her day' of riding everywhere 'cos her parents never had a car! You cant argue with that reasoning really,can you? She even stops when people are walking...

No worries, you can repolish any scratches that you acidentally create back out.When you have used up the 'soaps' provided with the kit,for its final polish use about 3 tubes of autosolve.Its messy,but brings it up nice...and dont rush, let the mop and drill do the work,just hold onto it firmly.

Like I said, Bob, it takes a lot of practice and time.I aimed to polish a tube a night depending on corrosion.and mind the chuck of the drill around the triple triangle area as it can snatch and re scratch the frame. Good Luck. 8) :lol: :wink:

Polishing Kit...Takes a bit of practice to get used to,but brilliant results will be acheived if a little percivierance is used.

Ahhhh! Thank you.

Plonker...Look before you leap, Man!

Can someone post me a pic of a rear wheel sproket removal tool? Thanx in advance.

Polishing kit Halfrauds £12.99, stick the end of a drill and do 6mm at a time. Took me 25 hours so far, more to do in the winter in front of the telly (by hand).Dont be be scared of keeping the neighbour hood aware that you are using an electric drill for the combined hours of at least a day...

Thanx guys,After a bit of messing about with the polishing kit,i now have a rolling chassis to start putting components on...

Thanx all...in the end, i went for ali forks as they were half the price but pretty much still nice and lite! .I am building this bike specifically for the Frome Cobble Wobble next year. Google it, perhaps some of you would like to come along. 8)

Heres my 3 GTs,you can see the Pantera needs a little TLC.Its been stripped and polished back again, and the rebuild starts soon...

Nice...Cheers guys! Just ordered them along with bars,stem and a headset. Gonna take the frame to our local sign maker next for some 2012 olympic GT stickers.Post pics later.

Thanx, they certainly look the dogs.Im sure they will make the bike feel 'livelier' too. My Pantera has a 1 1/8 steerer, but what length should i go for? As I said before, i had a set of old judys on it before, so what should i require to keep the bike at the same angles(?).

HI all, thanx...But...Superstar components didnt have any forks for sale...

Hullo Guys, im rebuilding my 96 GT Pantera which originally came with chromolly (?) rigid forks.I ran it for years with a set of JUdys which have now had it and i want to return it to how i bought it.In 1996. The frame was bull burnished and as you can imagine, it became white with corrosion...
