Thanks for the link and I do love the Carbon Smart Shocks but that's a bit too much for me at that price. May have scored some Vectors.

Second dibs on the XP 8 please if it does not sell. Ta, Paul.

Had a front wheel snowflake on mine for years - just taken it off as the rim was almost transparent. Only broke one spoke in all that time and never went out of true - used on a fullly rigid bike running P2s. Do it, you know you want to...

Well I missed those- anyone else?

brilliant, thanks - now watching.

Sorry chap, meant Crosslink - should have put that in the post - brain not working!

Seeking a set of Noleen Crosslink forks or Girvin Vectors Pics and prices please either posted or pm. Cheers, Paul.

Rainer has been a fountain of information, which leads me to ask a few questions. The original bottom bracket was a Shimano XTR 1996. BSA 112,5mm - is there a decent modern equivalent - internal or external would be fine, the lighter the better - going for an updated resto using the lightest...

Yup into the retro thing: VW's: VW T3 Syncro with Subaru Power: VW T3 Westfalia US Imports (got aircon, really useful at the moment!!) 1969 Karmann Ghia - soon to have 2.5 Subaru power. currently resembles an Airfix kit, pics later Also wife - a 1967 model - cannot say...

Contacted Gil and about 20 mins later this email landed - large portion of humble pie with a side order of my own words to go please!!: Daer Paul, you have a very nice bike. I have only the „corratec“ decals in black or white. But they are written in the new corratec letters. The...

Tried Nitromors and it was useless, then used POR15 Stripper - quick and clean did this in 2 coats. http://www.retrobike.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=183873&highlight=

Hi Magas, tried Corratec and they read the emails but don't reply - not the best way to build brand loyalty. Good job for them I'm not in the market for a new bike!! Re rear brake - think I may stick with the machined adapter I have to allow the fitting of later discs and calipers. Will...

Just spotted this thread. Ok not, fully dropped, (One One bars) but I love these, really aggressive riding position, great for climbing but a wee bit scary on steep downhills.

Phenomenal job chap. Loved them BITD but always out of reach of my funds. Think you have set a new benchmark. :D

Odd I can still see the pics on here, or did you mean on the other thread? That's worthy of consideration - decals then a quick overspray with a clear coat - hmmm...... Anyone know where I can get decals for Corratec - most sources on here and the web have everything but Corratec?

Maga you could be the answer to my prayers. Nice showroom condition bike. Any chance that you know the spec for the bottom bracket and seat tube diameter? Have tried a vernier gauge and several seatposts but struggling to find the correct fit. And if you know of a source for the original...

To answer your questions in order: Sorry, no - budget won't stretch to that, any money being spent is to make it light and go fast so home respray the order of the day. Would love to put some original discs back on, but cannot find any anywhere, the mount is quite bizarrely placed between...

Hi All. acquired a Corratec Team Bow frame and pair of Judys. Paint was mess on the frame so decision made to build "Frankenbike II" to go with the Cindercone. For info: was quited all sorts of money for stripping the frame and looked into everything from nut-shell blasting to acid dipping...

Old Project IIs are already green but could not get a headset to suit in time for the rebuild, it already has a quill adaptor. May get round to putting them back on at some point. Found a green saddle in the US and some green hubs - just need a green seatpost and rims. Or, I could just...

OOps double post! Sorry,
