Placement depends what you are after from your shots. I watched a bunch of pro mountain biking films on You Tube and saw where/how the production team had mounted them. From experience mounting on the bike means the unit can get shook a lot, especially off-road and on a rigid fork. You'd need...

Re: I'd also be interested in the same cranks and possibly canti's. Please PM any deets over. Cheers.

Re: Are these still available? Cheers.

Re: LGF - Thanks for the links those LX's could be quite handy.

Re: Thanks for the suggestions; there just happened to be a post about SS's below which I read about 2 minutes after posting! If anybody has suggestions for a 2 finger with reach adjustment or servo that would be really helpful.

I've just gone through my boxes and realised the only separate levers I have are for V's or are Magura's. Other than the M732/3 was there any other Shimano XT separate levers for canti's? What alternatives, other than cutting the mountings off an old pair should I consider? -for asthetic...

On the look out for some SS-5 levers (black). I'd also be interested in a set SS-7's and possibly a set of Avid SD ultimates for canti's.

Re: I've used Starchem SynStryp Paint Stripper on a host of different things including a Hammerite painted frame. It really does just bubble the paint up and off in a couple of minutes. Whether the general public should be able to get hold of it is a different question, but you can get via...

Re: '94 Zig-Zag Trail Picked this up tonight. It's the 17.5 '94 Team frame built up as a Zig-Zag Trail. The discolouration is where someone's done a cover up job with a grey acrylic paint. There's a bad scrape across the top tube, it doesn't line up with the bar arc, I initially thought it...

On the possible re-weld I thought the same, the other pictures from the advert don't cover that area very well either. There is a lot of discolouration which did raise flags as does the lack on non-drive side pictures. The bloke's reasonable and seems to pick bikes up doing clearances, I bought...

I was just wondering, from these shoddy pictures, if anyone can see any flags I'm missing. I haven't got the frame number from the fella yet but I think this might be a '94 Zig-Zag Trail. It's a XT/LX mix and the right colour scheme. The other option is it's a '94 Team Marin. I can't really...

Re: For fat slicks I would recommend Schwalbe Super Moto's. 2.2s. It comes with a low profile tred which rolls really well; they're the racing version of the Big Apple but are folders so light. I ride them on my commuter XC for 20 miles a day and they are really good in town. You can run them...

Re: PM'd

Re: I agree with the £75 mark. To compare, I bought a vgc Ti4000 with full M739 XT and Pace RC35 forks for £120 in April this year off the bay.

It's between £15-20. If broken down it would fit just inside the max dimensions for a medium package via Hermes.

Re: If you find Armourtex is a bust you could try Sea Bass in Peckham/Camberwell. Their workshop does wet and powder and the core business is actually bikes -you might find them more accommodating.

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/221914448933 On at £55.00 but open to offers.

Re: ...note for later (wheels)

I’m planning a winter road ride and as a part of it I want to try out a Project 2 fork out on one of my 1990-1992 Marin frames (all 17.5”). I’ve search post on here but haven’t found a definitive answer for any of my questions. As the frames are obviously not geometry adjusted for suspension...

Re: Yes, yes it did. After I'd travelled to pick it up it was a bit of a disappointment, considering the description, but utimately I wanted it for the frame/fork. Almost everything on it was knackered, the only thing I've was able to salvage from it was the seatpost which I had to soak to eat...
