Is it possible to use a threaded 1 1/8'' steerer tube set of ridged forks with an a-head set as opposed to a quil stem & threaded head set?

Just wondered if there was an update on your build? I have just sorted decals from Gilm for my Parkpre Team 925. Once they arrive I will start stripping it down & start my own build thread. In the mean time, looking for some inspiration from your 825 Pro build.

Great bikes Parkpre, will be following this build with interest. I built a Parkpre Comp Limited up from frame only. I went Shimano DX all the way. Great bike to ride. However I have recently picked up a Team 925 which is almost complete (RST Mozo forks). Trouble is the TI frame coat has tiny...

Good job mate, my kinda build :D

What are 'MCU's'? These forks compress but there is absolutly no rebound, so they stay compressed. From your response it soulds like it might be just the rubber o-rings. Are these easy to come by? Thanks for the response though I maybe taking you up on your kind offer.... I live very close the...

My first ever retro bike build....... Trek Y3 - I built her up how I wanted (non-original) but I had the powder coat combo I wanted & the parts I wanted, don't think I'll ever get rid of this one. You don't see many around these days so thought I had to add to this thread.

I have a set of the above shocks on a bike I picked up yesterday, I think they look the biz & from what I can gather, back in the day they weren't a bad shock. However............ The above two pictures show you what they look like.... The problem is there is no rebound at all, this is a...

Parkpre Team 925 Full Shimano LX group set, PFR seat, RST MOZO Pro W shocks (that will be another tread) Pulstar hubs original wheels. Now gotta decide what to do with her? Its a steel frame that has been titanium plated, however it has surface rust spots all over it, so I'm now...

Today I picked up a pretty original Parkpre Team 925 which I intend to refurb over time. However the frame is steel that has been TI platted but there are little rust spots all over the frame. The trouble is wire wool will remove the TI platting taking the frame back to steel & the metal polish...

Always interested in Parkpre mate....

Luv'in the Y22 looks great totally agree with the 'bob' issue, lock out on the front & stiff on rear - no problem.....btw my Y says hi:-)

Parkpre Comp Limited build thread...........FINISHED! Wanted to get this one finished in the sunshine this morning. First things first though, I had to swap out the rear cassette as the new chain was slipping on the 'old' cassette. The cassette came with the wheels so I thought I'd give it ago...

Swapped out the rear cassette on the Parkpre last night for a 7 speed, 12 / 32T. I had put a new chain on in the build but did not replace the cassette as I was not sure how worn it was. Transpires I was getting a little chain slip in a couple of the middle gears. A quick ride around the garden...

Only just seen this thread, thanks for the kind words, never in a million years did I ever think one of my builds would ever inspire a fellow Retrobiker! But, glad to be of assistance:-). How is the bike coming along, would love to see some updated pics. I'm still riding & enjoying my Rufftrax...

Thats my 'retro' commuter;-) glad you like.

I have been a member on Retrobike for just over 2 years now & I thought it was about time I reviewed my builds. It was seeing all these fantastic builds on this forum that that got me wanting to have a go myself. I have never been one for 'factory correct' but then again none of my bikes are of...

Well after the sunshine we have had all day today I managed to get some more done to my Parkpre. We now have grips, Onza, we now have stopping power, DX canti's & we now have a bottom bracket & some cleaned up STX RC cranks.......All being well I hope to have the chain on & gears working...

It is actually a steel frame, but I think I will go for the 113 anyway as just seems to me like the safer option. Thanks for your responses though, it's much appreciated.

Seat post is a 26.6 so would you still go with a 113 or would a 110 make a neater job? The seat post clamp is a 30.6mm btw.
