Those things were indestructible

Re: Orange MR XC frame 14" whats the shock like? Is it all workable condition?

Syntace flatforce are supurb, I've used one for racing for a few years and not a creak or flex out of it. Ti bolts as standard too.

I got some nice welgo pedals that have been getting some road bike use, they have holes for toeclips too if you ever fancy it. Think the model was the M142 and they has silky smooth bearings too.

Find the erto number to be sure, there are different diameters even per size and the only way to tell them apart is the erto number. I'v been having a nightmare trying to find tyres for a 24" wheel road bike and there are at least 5 different diameter of 24" tyre.

An insanely complicated re-invention to solve a problem nobody had. Bet it's cheap too.

Offers?

Re: I was trying to get hold of a set of these cranks, which I think look ideal: https://www.srsuntour.us/collections/cr ... 5338041742 In the end I couldn't get any, the importer told me they didn't bring any that size in. Ended up buying a set from the Frog spare parts list, the ones with...

I did similar not long back and thought the hardest thing was getting sensible length cranks, there are basically no short options. What length did you go for? Is it a 26"?

Re: If you've got a good motor/industrial supplier local see if they sell the 'action can' CD90 spray, it's superb stuff for things like this. It's a moderately viscous drivetrain type oil, really good staying power and water resistance suitable for heavy chains and more importantly bearings...

Re: Dont rule out Duke's, very good forks and largely forgotten about meaning bargains to be had.

Not anything exciting, nor a nut and bolt restoration but more of a rebirth for daily use. This is the one that pre-dates the Record Sprint model that came with all the gold bits. After the steady death of a modern but cheap disc brake commuter bike I wanted to have something cheap and simple...

Re: All their stuff looks a little bit 'shed project' to me, i'm not sue if it's the look of the weave but it puts me off. There was a bike in my local shop with a the full kit of THM bits and for a 15k bike it was easy to walk past.

Re: My Focus Raven is the nicest riding HT I've ever ridden. Stunning frame on it too.

Amazingly this seems to go up to fat bike size tyres, just have a play with the ratios and speeds to find out what you need for gearing: http://www.bikecalc.com/gear_speed
