Re: A bunch of spares for the forks turned up this week. The original DC110 fork stanchions are no longer available, however some boxxer stanchions are close, albeit slightly longer and most irritatingly, a different colour. Had a brief look at anodizing providers and this may still be an...

Re: Re: Haha that is cruel, have been watching ebay like a hawk and no luck yet! Jeffro

Thanks Neil, despite the set backs, I think this will still be a good thing. There may have been an M1 arrive recently too. :lol: Jeffro

Well I have not been on a revenge mission, but since you asked, it was ebay seller "heavenlynight" who still has some mtb items for sale now. The return international shipping etc would have been expensive and I had used a third party to get the item to me, so no point trying to seek a refund...

Tyres on. Brakes turned up. There was only one choice. I ran into an issue fitting the new headset. Frame is 37mm ID or 1 1/4 headset. After some investigation and weighing up options, I have elected to use a spacer for now rather than the CK Devolution option. Yes it is coming along...

Meanwhile a BB arrived And some cranks. More truing. Jeffro

Re: Time to build some wheels. I had a set of Mavic D521 wheels which I built back in the 90's. I still had them up until a few months ago when that bike got stolen, prompting the desire to build a new bike. I could not track any D521's down, so elected to go for the modern equivalent, XT...

So after evaluating things, I have decided to push on. Am chasing some frame repairers for some major intervention and have been able to locate some new fork stanchions. Keeping all this in mind, I need to figure out exactly what I intend to do with this bike. There is no doubt I want it to...

So I soon had a closer look at the goods. Unfortunately, the seller had been pulling my leg quite a bit! The swingarm has previously cracked, been welded and cracked again. Dam! I turned my attention to the forks. They are stuffed too. What is wrong with these people?! Jeffro

I purchased a Foes LTS recently following a desire to do some social riding and maybe a couple of wheelies. I am now 35 and wanted a Foes when I was a teenager. At the time I was working as a cleaner at a petrol station on the highway. I saved and saved for a Diamondback V-Link 3.0, which was...

Sourced.

Re: Nothing?! :facepalm: :shock: I have determined that the frame has an intended 6 inches of travel and used a 3:1 ratio at the shock, so I need a shock with 50mm stroke but not sure how long? 200mm? Anyone have one they can measure? Jeff

Sorry if there is an existing thread, however I am looking for detailed info on Foes LTS monocoque frames. I found some geometry details on the Foes site, however I would like to examine; History - design changes and years Shock info - length, travel Consumables - bearings, bushes etc Thanks...

Hi, just found this forum. Probably been out of mountain biking for close to 20 years, and although I am not serious about a return to racing, would love to get a hold of the bike I could not afford at the time. So I am looking for an Intense M1 SL in good condition, either a frame or a whole...
