Re: How about £40 posted for the x-lite bars?

Re: Maybe this time around?

Re: Thanks for the heads-up Sean. I'm gonna try it with some 100mm's and see how I get on. If it's no good, I should be able to reduce the forks to 80mm. Had a quick look at trying to find the original spec to see what it would have come with...looks like a 4" rear shock and a 4" early...

Re: Re: Liking the build yeti_bomb. I find these kind of build threads more fun to look at than the perfect-replica builds - they're more like how we used to modify bikes in the 90's and mess around with a mix of parts! Incidently, I now own Sean's Heckler frame (above). Haven't started...

Re: Meant to say, i'll download photo's and put on the post next weekend.

Re: Great pictures! Glad you liked the caramel thingys Jimbo. Thanks for a great tour of Woodbury Common. The weather made it perfect! Great to meet up with you all.

Re: Bought a Pace handlebar in lurvely condition. Pleasure doing business.

Re: My wife hasn't given birth yet! And i've managed to find someone to work my Sunday shift! Looks like i'll be there! No need to fight on who will be at the back - that's one competition I can't fail to win! Most exercise I get is the weekly walk around the supermarket when I fill the...

Re: Thanks guys. I do have a black Kore Elite stem in good condition - I might have to try it and post some pictures. Only thing is, I was saving it for an LTS build which i've almost got the bits for. I'm also considering sending some other bits to be totally stripped and re-anodised, in...

Re: Some pictures of the frame after a wash and wax... Some pictures with the first few components attached... And yes, I know - there's far too many different types of red! Told you it would be an unusual mix of bits! I'm really happy with the parts - except the...

Re: Thanks for your offer ringo. It looks in great condition. I'll leave it for now.

Re: Re: I like your style! I think those Bombers look ace set against the red anno. of the Zaskar frame. Even better...that cake on your kitchen worktop looks damned good!

Re: Re: Thanks for your words of encouragement. The stem doesn't look quite as correct as a Kore or a Syncros...but I used to lust after the X-Lite stuff back in the 90's! Might have been better if I hadn't gone for so many different shades of red on this build!

Re: Ringo - i'll opt out for now. I'll keep searching for some of the more 'gun-metal' ones like below: Thanks for your photo's.

Re: Hi Ringo. Would be good to see some pic's of yours. I'd be interested if Giom6 doesn't take it. I assume we're talking about the Renthal RC30 bars?

Re: I'm hoping to make it to Woodbury next weekend - would be great to meet up with some of the local Retrobikers! As for the decals...I think you're opinion will be shared by many! Once the bike is up and running, I dare say I will probably contact Gil for some better ones. Right now, i've...

Re: Hi Coomber. I think it's an 18" - as it's got '18' stamped on the dropout. Sid loves talking about the retro-stuff! He found some nice NOS Onza tyres for me when I picked up the wheels - though they're being saved for another build i've got planned. When i've built this one - I think...

Re: Almost done with photo's of the 'bits'... Ok - next post will be some photo's of the bike actually being built...

Here goes for my first build-thread... I think it's important that you understand my thoughts behind this project (you'll see why in a bit)! BITD, I owned a GT RTS 2 - which I thought was amazing! However, I was also desperate to own a GT Zaskar. At this time, my LBS (Soanes in Colyton)...

Re: Bought some washers which got lost in the post. Full refund issued. Would definately do business again. Great seller.
