    SHOGUN team issue 1988 rebuild number 4

    I agree about the cantilvers. The front would not be too much of a problem but you dont see too many Syncros or Atac stems in 1 inch , silver , with the cable guide. The rear was the problem. The seat bolt is too high because of the lower seat stays to run a surly hanger or the like. I made a...

    what wheels? and what brakes?.....oooh and what post/stem?

    And another Aussie here also. I'm in Sydney. I recon some control tech cantilevers would look good. I agree the paul stuff is nice but the control techs also use V pads. I have just taken mine off my road bike (1986 shogun team issue) and will put them on a Rocky mountain that has cable...

    Plush forks for a Rocky Mountain Thin Air.... Which ones????

    Well......just bought a Manitou 4 and a new dual linear spring kit for them so that sorts out the fork questions. Always wanted some manitou's so now iwill be happy. having never owned suspension forks before I 'm sure I will love them. Might have to polish the frame now to match.

    Plush forks for a Rocky Mountain Thin Air.... Which ones????

    Ok here are some pics. Do I rebuild the forks or get some replacements? The bike looks to be a 1996 by the sticker on the front. Was looking at Manitou 4's with a spring kit as being a good period replacement.

    Plush forks for a Rocky Mountain Thin Air.... Which ones????

    So how do the Pace forks rate with these. I love the look of the RC35 and 36. Have no idea what the difference is between the 2. Understand the 37? is an air shock with a lockout lever. Don't want a lever so still would like some feedback on these forks. And what about Manitou?

    Plush forks for a Rocky Mountain Thin Air.... Which ones????

    Ok so I have just scored a Thin Air from a mate with a pair of Judy xc forks that are collapsed. I have never owned a pair of suspension forks before so I need some advice on what to buy. I figure its more cost effective to just get some good second hand forks rather than rebuild these. So the...

    Violent Assault leaves my Retro bike DEAD... what next ?

    I have never had a cyclist damage my car but a friend has. Guy rode into her door and rode off. Cost a fortune as it was a new Range Rover and wasn't hers. I can imagine she would run you down if it happened again. Not right I know but ................
