still got the 420mm RC31s? (I assume they are 1 1/8") Would you be open to offers?

Hi all- didn't mean to seem ungrateful for all the responses but was just out of contact with any functioning computers for quite a while. All the advice looks good, so after a short spate of singlespeeding I'm going to try my following the general advice you've given. Thanks everyone.

Thanks for the TimeSert link crum, looks worth investigating. On first impressions it looks like that might be the first choice, followed by the framesaver insert. Anyone else used the Time Sert method?

To cut a long story short, I've discovered that around 1/3rd of the threads on the hanger of my beloved sunn have become stripped. Most of them are still there but enough have gone so that I can't tighten the mech on fully- hence it will not shift correctly. Searching around on here has been...

mmm, also tempted but just too wee to say yes please (for now- I might change my mind).

Ahhh, you beat me on this too. Hope you have fun building and riding it- and if you ever want to shift it, get in touch.

Ok, thanks for the info. They're not exactly what I'm after, but they might work. I'll have a think.

hey neil, these might be useful for me- can you tell me what the a-c length is please? Also- is that a disc mount I spy? Do you know if it is an IS mount or another (weird) one- I remember sunn experimenting with some non-standard mounts a while back. Thanks, c_p

Pm'd you back.

I was just uploading some images anyway so maybe these will do- I've tried to show the worst bits- there's no head tube badge, there are some stone/chain chips on the chainstay and a little cable rub, but the condition is very good for something of this age on its original paintjob/decals. As...

I have a late '90s 18" sunn xircuit un if you're interested? I'd love to keep it but it's just too big for me...

Gorgeous frame... I surely couldn't justify another sunn right now could I... :cry:

Mmm wold ranger, I'd be interested, but the price is just too much at the minute. :( I don't have anything to swap either I'm afraid. If nobody takes it and you still need to get rid of it, you can always send me a PM. What area are you based in by the way?

Hi, just reading the above- I had a lovely delivery of a frame today from welshben, so I'd imagine your bits (whatever they were) will be on their way. I hope so anyway. :)

Well I usually ride mine with either Pace rigid RC30s or RC31s (and sometimes RC39s (with 100mm travel)) so it's not really a comfort or weight issue. The obsys forks don't often come out of the garage I'm afraid.

Looks like the start of a beautiful relationship. Even if you find a set of obsys forks on the cheap, I reckon you'd end up putting something else on the front most of the time, as even back then they were never that great, and hardly objects d'art (excuse my french). Looking forwards to...

as bduc61 has hinted, there was always a bit of a french-canadian influence thing going on with sunn I thought- syncros finishing kit, raceface cranks etc, so they were never that euro. As for the ESP versus shimano debate, my urge (sounds funny in writing) came with ESP 9.0 front mech (still...

Nice post Dr Robotnik. My memory wasn't too bad I reckon, a year out and a few mistakes mind... RE the top tube decals, the ovals were made of a kind of gel, so they formed a kind of 3d relief from the frame. Imagine a kind of giant curvy bubblewrap filled with firm jelly and you're on the...

Hey, good win, I was hoping for that one. :x I haven't ever seen the softail versions other than in mags at the time and can't tell too much about the frame from the photo, but anyway based on the urge comp hardtail I have, here's what I remember. I dunno what model it is (pretty high end...

Hey Ben, no worries here, all the best.
