Room for one more on the sun? Sounds like a bit of fun, and a laff for everyone seeing me on a bike How long will it all be? Distance and time? just to make sure I'm not getting over my ability :-) Where abouts will it be on the North Downs on the sat?

That's what you say!!! hehe :P How have you kept it in such good condition?? It looks spotless...are those the original tyres as well? G

Ahhhha! But you don't say when the photo was taken ;-) Looking very good, I could only dream of an explosif 17 years ago :-( Can still only dream of one now as well really...Although my frame has the same dimensions as the Explosif, just mine is made from scafolding poles not the tange...

Like Trigger's broom Just like Trigger's dad's brush, passed down from generation to generation it's only had three new heads and two new handles, but it's still the same brush! OK, the original things on it are: the frame, rear brake, both brake levers, front and rear mech, seat post (at...

Mine would be all original if they had put better components on it :-) Changed the handle bars from steel to Alloy this weekend - Half the weight! one of the first bikes I know to have STI...which died earlier on this year...and the biopace were shot...and I think it looks so much better with...

At the mo I have amber walls on the front (Ritchey Megabite) and black wall (onza honch..I think) on the back....So I'm half way there, depending on which way "there" is :-)

Erm Photoshop! I wish it was some sort of fancy software, but it's photoshop and a number of different layers :-) Did in a few minutes with it's auto tools which I never usually get a change to play with. It wasn't the best job, but it was the quickest way I could think about doing it...I've...

My tyres are shagged...they are old, and it's only a matter of time till they fall apart, they are cracked and perished and I'm surprised they have lasted as long as they have :-) Obviously I want my bike to look good, as well as keep me on the singletracks and not in the hedge or wrapped...

I haven't the foggiest either....I thought I bought my bike in '93 shows how much I know :-)

I saw this: http://www.retrobike.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1588 which led me to believe it was 1988....at the time I wanted the black/pink colour scheme, but got the next years model with project 2's on the front But I have no other proof and there are no dates on it so I don't know

Fraid not Fraid not, it was just one piece of A4 paper and that's both sides of it...they only did the three models back then :-)

Found one - or two.... Thanks for the link....although the seat post was only $9.99 shipping would have been $26.20 So in the end I went Withoutdoors.co.uk and got me one of these from BBB bike parts Cost just over £20 inc p&p and it's the twin screw system, where as the others I found...

Thanks for that...I was hoping to find one in the UK, but if that's all that comes up, that will be the one then Cheers G

I'm after a black 26mm seat post pref with two bolts I'd love to be able to ask for a specific make, but I think I'll just be happy if it fits and it's black :-D
