I have just got back from riding on a 1989 Raleigh Team MTB. The simplicity of this makes me smile. Anyway I was pondering raising funds for a new project. Hence What is the groupset worth? Any ideas? Crank: Suntour/Sakae XCT Front mech: Suntour XCT Rear mech: Suntour XCT Gear shifters: Suntour...

Looking really nice.

Still following. I have been doing my first frame re-spray, my Marin Palisades Trail is going AA van yellow. All good until final paint coat before clear coat....suddenly run city! But I hadn't planned on doing it until this thread and it's been fun. So thanks for the inspiration. Janners

This came off a 94 Kona Hahanna which I no longer have, hence not really useful to me. £8.00 includes UK postage.

I've spotted it, the bottle cages need to be swapped over.....

I have been offered this but what sort of money is it worth? Is it £100 in half decent condition? All I know is what you see and that it needs peddles. I have worked out it is probably 1990. Did it have wheels that were not 26"?

D8mok, I was actually thinking of the hardtail, but maybe yours adds to my point. As another example retro Konas have quite a following, retro Marins have quite a following, both groups of enthusiasts are really active. Now I might have missed it but I just don't see the same activity levels on...

I was looking at what they have sold for. The occasional ones that have popped up over the last 6 months or so just don't appear to make any money. Perhaps it's just coincidence. I shall investigate further. Janners.

Very nice. Janners.

The credit really goes to the other folks on here who have posted in the past. Without them it would have been a lot more time consuming.

appear to be unloved? They just don't appear to be "In" whatever "In" is. Any ideas? Have I missed something? Do they snap or something? One very confused Janners

The damper is now filled, reassembly was quite straight forward. I used the plastic strip that came off the sticky bit of an envelope to let the excess oil out as I pushed the last seal in place. Waiting on the grease so I can reassemble the shocks. sold the frame I was going to put them on, so...

I spent ages trying to find the circlip mentioned in the Rockshox service manual damper addendum. Eventually it occurred to me I didn't have one because my outer casing is 1 piece molded plastic. Oh well, an hour of head scratching for nothing. :D

Thanks Retro Spud, I shall have a look in the morning and see what the folks have available.. Janners

So I now have everything laid out. Decided to give the damper a "push" to see how it came apart, well that was easy. I can't see any nicks in anything and it's still moist so there was a smidge of oil in there. Which, if it hasn't been touched or refilled in nearly a quarter of a century...

Much reading later....take damper apart and see what I find.

For my own reference.... viewtopic.php?f=1&t=198073&hilit=Judy+rebuild

Resolved the spacer issue, RVA had the answer. The replacement elastomers are longer, hence 5 in each stack instead of 6, thus a spare spacer each side. Damper next.....

Not quite my ride...but a bit of it. I have combed the archives on here, downloaded the service guide (and got so far with that), I have watched videos...they all appear to take them apart, then end! So I here I am stripped, cleaned and reassembly time. Events so far. Rockshox Judy XC 1st...

Check out the chain above, and look at it now. An overnight soak in oxalic acid, a rinse and scub with brush. Happy with those results. As the bike is now being stripped and rebuilt I am going to use the chain to make an oversize chain whip (bent a normal one) to remove a stubborn locking nut on...
