Hi, well it's working: I decided to get a hard tail to take my son out on (baby seat thingy) and couldn't bring myself to buy cheap-sh1t or over-spend on decent new stuff. Quick ebay later and a 1995 cinder cone frame and forks was mine...ALL MINE!!!!!! Repainted in a darker, more...

So, are we thinking weekend or skiving an afternoon (Friday)? Weekends could be a bit on the busy side. Friday 9th October 1pm ish?

why not meet at Llandegla? Perfect trail for hardtails/ short full-suss. There are black routes there, but they're a p o' p. Good trail caff for bacon butty/ brew/ natter afterwards. Adey '95 Cindercone '06 Epiphany '09 Rogue

I seem to remember that when my STS-DH stopped creaking, it was time to replace the bushings! Pull it to pieces, clean and re-grease everything, reassemble. If yours is a plastic trunnion mount, maksure that properly greased too. The lower shock-mount bolt can bend also: roll it on a...

CRC have 8-speed STX cassettes for £15

I had hope discs with no frame adaptors on my 96 munimula with Judy Dhs, so discs can be in keeping. Even the old C2s/ sport were a vast improvement. (I had a few over the bars moments!) This thread IS relevant, as it's not always possible to get your hands on retro kit as and when you need...

Cheer Jimi, Nice work: looks spot on. I like the idea of doing the work myself. Having done s few classic cars and built more bikes than I care to remember it's about time I had a go at restoring one! Off to Halfords then,,,! Cheers Adey (I'll let you know how it goes :wink: )

Cheers for the reply. I am leaning towards "rattle-can" at present as I'm concerned about the decals surviving the oven bake! Plus I can sort it out in my own time. Thanks again :) Ade btw: I can't think of a better place to gauge a concensus of opinion than a WWW open forum! :wink:

Afternoon, What the concensus on painting steel frames? Powder or Spray/ Aerosol? I know there's no heat-treatment issues with steel so once it's blasted clean and etch-primed I could spray it, then laquer over the decals. Or am I completely wrong? (It's a nice metallic blue btw) Adey

Nice one fellas, I've found a steerer: TF-Tuned had one gathering dust. Job done. Frame arrived today: How nice were mid 90s Konas? WHY did I sell my original one...? I knew those Judy-DHs would come in useful again :D Cheers Adey

Hmmmmm.... No reply. I'll keep trying! Adey

Hi Can anyone give me gil_m's details? Does anyone have a crown/ steerer for 1996 Judy DHs? Many many thanks, Adey

Hi All, anyone know where to get decals from? Cheers! Adey

It's mine, all mine......!!!!! :D Got some bits from a Kona I had years ago (Curve cantis spring to mind) and some RS Judys. Can't wait. Thanks Graeme, Cheers! Adey PS: Where can I get a decal set from?
