Re: Thanks for the tips 8) Regarding the helitape, is the biketart stuff any good? Also looking at the 3M 8671HS from Viking Industrial which is genuine 3M stuff and comes out cheaper...?

Re: The Vs - how's the paralleogram linkage, any play/squeal? Also do they come with the noodles please? Thanks

Re: Appears to have been owned by some kind of mad scientist :shock: Those magic words "could do with some restoration and would suit an enthusiast" :wink:

Re: Is it maybe this one?

Re: I'm new, but can certainly sympathise with things going south after a breakup, glad it's all on the up now. Welcome back :D

F***in D Locks. The only problem with my otherwise mint Caldy is where it had another bike locked to it and the ends of the lock have smacked it in the same place over and over again :( I don't care about a couple of battle scars but the laquer is now flaking where the damage has gone down...

Re: They are truly gorgeous :D If the original owners had the wherewithall to buy these for 'picnics' I'd love to know what you picked them up for... Good luck, I'd have 'em in a heartbeat if I had the money :(

Re: I went with the Bombers as I was able to source a mint set of 2003 Marathon S which are still a very good fork and the gunmetal finish goes with the M570 bits lovely. The OEM spec was Judy T2s which had godawful rebound damping, were flexy as hell and had dubious longevity so finding a...

Re: What's the frame size please?

Re: Clearly it upset someone, the link has been 404'd Thankfully Google doesn't let you get away with that :lol:

Re: It also rather depends on how much he wants for it :wink: At the end of the day it's an old bike and there are plenty more. You've obviously done your research and made sure it actually is a Zaskar and not a Pantera with new stickers. Regarding the Judys, if they haven't been serviced...

Re: I remember that Pace article well, along with many others in MBUK during my formative years. At least he got to ride many, many bikes most of us can only dream of. RIP indeed :(

Re: Re: I've had a look, very nice :wink:

Good bloke to deal with, very pleased with purchase. Everything exactly as described and postage at cost. All the best :D

Re: So...add this lot, some straight carbon bars and new grips, a good clean and destickering... And we have this... Much better... :D Just some new brakes and we're done.

Re: Thanks for the reply - I'm tending towards the Avid 7s (having looked slightly harder for reviews rather than comparisons :roll: ) - even though they're more than twice the price of 5s and look pretty much identical there are enough differences under the bonnet to justify it. Plus they...

Hi, I have googled this but found a lack of up to date opinion... I have almost finished the rebuild on my 1998 Kona Caldera which was built from a frame in '99 with mainly scrounged bits then used as a hack. Anyway, I want to upgrade the crappy V-brakes which were a free sample from Taiwan at...

Re: Yeah, the ones with the Hi/Lo adjustment bolt on the brake lever :lol: Frame is fantastic under all the crap. Hopefully bike will look very different this time next week...

As above, to suit 1998 Kona 19", black and <£20 ideally. Many thanks :) Edit: SORTED

Re: If you still have it, black Kore stem please 8)
