Re: Re: And did any of them live long enough to report back?

Wow, someone taking an early lead in the “Dad of the Year” awards. Awesome.

The Boy has been riding around in his Zaskar a bit this summer (only just got tall enough to ride it – need to feed him better). Only real snag is that the forks are a bit stiff. Seems the springs in the RC36s are mediums (a tell tale spot of red paint). Now, Pace have some softs, but want 50...

Hi there, The Boy’s Baby Zaskar (see sig) has some cunningly adapted Pace RC36 Evo forks for use with 24” wheels. What isn’t quite so cunning are the medium springs in the forks. Way too stiff for a 9 year old! So, before I attempt to get some custom springs made, thought I’d see if someone...

Re: Replacement elastomer for Manitou 2/3/4 & Judy and more Anyone tried these on a set of RC35s? Do they work as well as the Pace originals? I could do with some softs, and Pace only seem to stock medium these days.

Re: New project - More or Less NOS Pace RC200 F1 I may be a bit biased as I have some (rather tattier) red Hope QRs on my RC200, but I'd go with the red Hope QRs! Also, got to agree on the Middleburns. Again, I may be a bit biased...

Re: Re: Cheers Jim, Had a look at SJS (the place for all new things retro!), but none of them seemed quite right.

Looking for a silver (well, aluminium!) front canti hanger for my Orange P7. Can’t see any for sale here, and the eBay ones are a bit crap! Hoping someone has one stashed away somewhere. Can’t get my F7s on the bike without. Help!

Lovely part of the world for a cycle tour. Can’t help you with the gear. While I’ve done a bit of ‘guerilla camping’ in my youth, mostly in pub gardens, that was largely to do with the beer consumed. No need for a mat in those circs. Have woken up bloody cold though!

I suppose I’ve got three Orange P7s. However, one is for Mrs R, another is a nice single speed, and the third is just parts at the moment (including two sets of F7 forks). Should probably sell that...

Stunning.

Blimey, my wife had an old cheap Trek with Judy TTs. Seriously heavy and crappy forks. How old is your bike? IIRC, her Trek was from around 2003-04. I have a few sets of RC36, and can confirm their awesomeness!

Great find. As an owner of two running P7s (plus another frame, plus another two sets of F7 forks — I may have a problem!) I can confirm that you have an awesome bike. Amazed that one made it out to Perth, Aus. Guess the dry weather has kept the nickel plated steel in great condition.

Difficult to tell from the low res photos, but are those straight pull spokes on the front hub. So, possibly a Pulsar? And the stem...

Re: Better brush up on my German!

Re: Drive side as it happens. I had assumed the body was glued into the flanges. Have you heard of anyone successfully building a Ti Glide frankenhub?!

If only. Already used that up by going on a bank holiday cycle from London to Paris (over 5 days. Just the bank holiday Monday would be ambitious!)

Looks like there’s a load of NOS Joe Breeze Hite Rite dropper posts for sale on eBay USA. Get em while you can... https://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-HITE-R ... 0510108168

Stunning bike and for a good price. Just wish I could come up with a decent reason for Mrs Rouleur as to why I should buy this... GLWS!

Re: GT Bravado Frame 16" 631 Reynolds Tastyness Well, I’m not interested unless it’s been personally ridden by Hans Rey :wink:
