Re: also need to take photos but I have a set of Suntour hubs 32h which came off a 1991 rocky mountain. 7 speed and comes with cassette which is in okay serviceable condition. Also original skewers. The group on the bike was XCD but the hubs simply say Suntour. I rebuilt both and while not in...

Re: Re: Ah, missed those... :oops: I was not aware of that. :o

Re: XTR front mechs, stems, posts (syncros, Race face, USE) added a 140mm 15D cattlehead in black with alloy top cap. $45... still some nice derailleurs and posts here.

Re: Re: Those are turbines, no?

Re: seat stay bridge on the OP's looks straight to me.

Ahhh, I see now you built it for your uncle. Then it is perfect. The ovalized seat tube is typical of factory bikes. The reason it is done is to save time otherwise the seat tube or downtube (usually downtube) would have to be mitered twice as the oversized tubes would meet. It probably has no...

Re: Looks good. Why didn't you use the original RD? Maybe you said... I didn't read closely. I'd have kept as much 735 as possible and sourced a FD to match. Also a more svelte stem like a cattlehead or even thomson elite.

Re: XTR front mechs, stems, posts (syncros, Race face, USE) see post 1 for 150 and 140mm silver syncros cattleprods 1-1/8" Also 135 mm control tech. Might also have a black 140 cattlehead and might also part with a 1-1/8" 130mm silver cattleprod if you're interested in those.

Trade an NOS black Onza Monza II headset for the red fro?

Re: is the altitude the wrong size? What size it is?

The white syncros decal is fantastic. Are you going to do the same on the stem?

That looks mint, I doubt anything needs replacing. Show us a shot of the rear hub and we'll know for sure. If there is a bulge on the driveside then it is a freehub. That is assuming it is a shimano hub. Looks like an entry level group so it could be a freewheel, not sure.

Thanks, I'll probably end up having it done in Vancouver as I have friends and family there that can hang onto stuff for me between visits. I might spring for a Toxik paint job on the blizz, who knows!

Re: Wow! Nice, I have a blizzard I need done but couldn't be further away while still being in the same country. As for facing. With a cartidge BB it isn't totally necessary and I'll argue that while it is considered de rigueue by us bike nerds for both to be faced it rarely matters. So it is...

Re: up :mrgreen:

Re: Re: I called canada customs because I never get duty charges and also because they are not commerical goods. And the person I talked to was like "yeah that is a mistake, it was thought to be a complete bike. just send the refund request in"... yet to hear back but seemed pretty clean cut...

there is no duty on bicycle parts, buyer will pay taxes on declared value if over a certain amount (probably $50ish).... if you can ship through the mail that is best as Canada post will not charge brokerage fees (or that shouldn't).... I did recently receive parts from CRC where I was charged...

Re: got one here. NOS. http://s83.photobucket.com/user/abier62 ... t=3&page=1 52 GBP shipped to UK (i.e. $60 US plus shipping)

Frank is a stand up individual and great to trade with or buy from. He also has an impressive knowledge which he is happy to share. Thanks Frank!

If I hadn't bought silver turbines already.....
