Oh, don't get me on colour!!! :) Trying to choose a colour is going to be the hardest part!...Every bike that goes by changes my mind one way or another!! I hadn't thought of green tho :wink:

WOW... :) It does look good...cheapest price I've found near me is £60 - £25 for the shotblast, £35 for the powder coat...But I am in London :roll: Sorry to harp on about the frame and the powder coating Did you have any rust on the frame beforehand, or was it in good condition...

Looks good, What prep did you have to do to the frame before powder coating? Thinking whether to get my new (to me) old bike done :-) G

Hurrrah! It's not just me!...I mean I'm sorry you're feeling bad and all, but I thought it was just me, my old bike and (low) level of fitness! Hurrah, ma be I'm not that bad after all!!! :0) I'm STILL hurting after my fall...boo! G

Tyre selection? That sounds serious! I've just put my least knackered tyres on! :-) I just hope they don't fall apart on the way round!! :roll:

My last crash I was going down a nice wide track at speed, then my front wheel found a rut, tried bumping it but I kept hitting the side as the rut was getting deeper and deeper, but I thought it would end and it wasn't a problem, until I noticed ahead that the rut did a 90 degree turn, now...

I told you this site was addictive, but you didn't listen, you just started searching for old brochures, now look where you are :D...you'll be replacing anything you can with period gear now...just you wait! Abandon hope all who enter Retrobike!

Either day is fine with me :-)

Cheers for the heads up, I spend a lot of my time on the M3, I live about 2 mins 43 seconds from the A316, and my autopilot just kick in when I head south!! :-) I'll be riding my one and only bike! :-)...looks a little something like this: but should have matching tyres on by the weekend...

Ah well if you've only just bought it, I wouldn't feel too guilty :-) I've owned mine from new and couldn't see myself selling it...I did think about it, when I wanted a better bike....but if I get another one I'll keep it. While it would be nice to have some suspension on the front, but I...

Righty ho :-) Still got room for one more in my car leaving Twickenham and down the M3 if anyone is interested.....PM me if you are :-)

How long have you had it?....Please don't tell me you've owned it from new and are selling it?....How could you? :( I think mine is around a 16" frame, but I can't remember How much are you expecting to get? or will that be up to the gods of Ebay?? :-) Let us know when it goes on :-)

I've only even see one other person riding a Fire Mountain, the same as mine....So hand shaking back :-)....In fact when I saw the fire mountain go past, I had to go back and check mine was still there! I noticed on yours you have "the bike group" sticker on the front, mine has the Kona...

I'm based in Twickenham :-) But have car, will travel....So don't worry about where to start on my behalf 20 miles sounds fine...didn't know whether you were manic milers :-) I might not be the most technical rider, but what I lack in style I more than make up for in comedy value!! :D...
