Having a complete clear out of an unfinished project, as I’ve sat on this for two years and just don’t have the time to complete. There’s more to come and the XC Pro is a full group set minus pedals and headset, just ran out of daylight so will snap more pictures next weekend. Complete set...

Re: Think your inbox might be full :)

Re: Could be interested in this if the production year is right. A quick search wasn't much help, so wondering if you know roughly?

Re: Love that. Looks incredible.

Re: Looking great. Be delighted to know how you removed the rear triangle pivot bolt. Managed to get one off my EST project, but the other refuses to budge and is now truly rounded. I'm assuming of course it's a similar BB style arrangement...

Re: Is the Flexstem still available?

Re: Perfection right there

Re: Would be interested in headset and gripshift if it gets split...

Saw this on Facebay and thought it might be interesting https://www.facebook.com/groups/5794980 ... 3845252142 The guy seems to have a lot to get rid of and I can see some Unishocks and Manitou 3 on the wall. Excuse me and delete if anyone has posted before

That's pretty perfect. Loving the commitment.

Re: Wouldn't mind just the alloy spanner as I'm guessing it's for an EST to wind on the preload...

Re: Thanks Leigh. Will be attempting this at the weekend though don't have a dremel to use. Did look for a budget version in B&Q but no banana. Will post the results!

Yep. Shock has been removed, so load free!

Sorry The History Man, what do you mean by 'all the pressure off the pivot'? :shock:

Re: Everyone here really knows their stuff. I'm just a mechanical idiot. Here's the suspect bolt... And here's the bolt from the other side... Here's a shot of the pivot from the side with bolt removed... Hopefully that gives a clear idea of where I'm at. Progress this far is having...

Re: Just waiting for the liquid metal to arrive, should be here in the next couple of days. I'm guessing the bolt is alu, seems soft enough and had thought that the centre hole would help me to centralise if drilling out, but I only have a puny 18v cordless Makita. Do you reckon that would do...

Re: Second in line on the clamp if anything goes wrong...

I've sprayed with Plusgas and now leaving it to soak before trying the bonding paste and torx tip. Fingers crossed!

I've a black Syncros 3rd generation seatpost 29.4/350mm that I'm looking to trade for any similar quality 27.2mm post of around a 1991 or slightly later vintage. Condition is good, with no scratches and just wear at insertion marks. I'll take some pictures when I'm home tonight. I put new Gil_M...

Re: Ha. Yeah. Kind of wish I'd have gone the plusgas route before rounded the bolt head. Now I'm in a whole world of mechanical hurt. Good luck!
