Project has come to a halt for the time being...moving house and friends getting sick of me not wanting to do Lake District rides, so I build my hard tail back up and sent the MrO away to my brothers...for a possible vinyl wrap :D

@sam264 That is a wicked looking 223! Is that the original blue? Mine isn't a total retro build...especially at the moment...it is sporting a mono mini on the back and a saint mech, and proII with mavic 729 rims. But they will slowly be replaced as and when. Speaking of wheels...what kind of...

Love this. Green + yellow looks sweeet :D

@Enid_Puceflange Your updates on your MrO were the ones that always came up in the search...I have been following your posts for a while...kinda like a stalker...just far lazier! First ride out...went to Ae forest...an old favourite for playing on...and very much to my suprise, the bike...

This is why I chose these colours...they match my van haha :D After 2 commutes to work on it...I decided it was time to test it out for it's original purpose...so I fine tuned and tightened. Only to realise that the hole I used for the shock was forcing the reservoir to hit the frame....I...

after getting this far.... "I need to ride it!" so I set about stripping my current bike OnOne summer season, of all it's essential parts. Bars, stem, brakes, gears and wheels... I built it up and it weighed in at a "freakin ton"...but then I realised that I now had to ride that to...

@Enid_Puceflange not only did I luck out on the price...I lucked out on them being in awesome condition! They are the plushest forks I have ever used...possibly the heaviest too! However in the process of messing about with things...I may have broken the rebound adjuster....or something...as...

...as soon as I could I put the parts that I had in place...remembering that along the years of having it, I lent the front brake to someone and it never came back! Gutted...then I gave my brother a frame...and he produced a Hope c2 brake that he didn't need anymore...how convenient! This...

@Enid_Puceflange cheers :) The bike is actually built up behind me...but I have taken photos from start to "got impatient and cut corners with still loads to do" finish. After I got the forks I replaced the seals (£10), after that I moved house 4 times and nothing got done (and in the...

Upon telling a friend, he said "no way...that's my old frame...I still have the forks for that!" to which I asked him how much.... "£25?"... Sold! To my delight it came attached to an old Hope c2 front brake. So far frame + shock (apparently the good one! I am a hardtail rider so totally new...

This is a frame I bought off a friend for £25 including rear shock (Fox VanRC) when I told him I wanted a project....

Hey up guys, in my last few years of building my current project (Orange Mr from 2001 I think) I have come across this forum a few times for hints and tips etc. Thought it might be of interest to at least someone if I posted up what I have been doing...
