Judged! :lol:

Thanks Col, If you could find out the paint code you've got that'd be brilliant The BMW I saw the other day is painted in ATLANTIS METALLIC, and has a BMW paint code of 399 I've checked this on the BMW forums and there seems to be a bit of discussion about this colour Sometimes it's called...

No worries buddy. There's nothing wrong with being fashionably late :) We'll have to meet up when I've got the new bits on the bike. It'd be good to see what they actually look like in original spec

Re: You need to get yourself a photobucket account. Then you can upload photos to the forum Glad to hear the build's going well. I bet you'll be really pleased when it's all together again

Re: Sounds like sensible advice......and it sounds like your bike's gonna be very cool Have you got a thread going?

Re: I know you can't tell much from the photos, but here's how we're looking at the minute It's had a good bit of elbow grease applied to it, and it's now clean enough to touch without getting covered in dirt Still got loads of polishing and a little touching up to do, but I think it'll...

Re: Thanks all. I think the bike can currently be summed up as follows..... "Good from far.......but far from good!" The pictures certainly make it look nicer than it really is As mentioned previously, I'm completely new to all of this kind of stuff, so I'm bound to do some silly things I...

Re: Fair point.....personally I though it would have looked good painted white. J/K!! In all seriousness though, I get what you mean about the patina. The reason I was thinking about fully refinishing it is, they're not my battle scars, and the marks on it at present don't have any meaning...

Re: Thanks for the compliment Marcel! It's looking nice that it was the other day. I've given it a bit of a cleaning during my lunch breaks, but still needs a little work With the exception of the chainset, all the bits I've ordered are NOS, so we'll have to see what it looks like when...

Re: Thanks, appreciate the reassurance I thought the 737 crankset looks like the OEM ones that were fitted but are of a higher quality, and will match will match the other components I'll be fitting Just need them to arrive now so I can take some pictures and get them fitted

Re: Thanks for the advice. Are the other bits I've bought ok?

Just bought some stuff, so now I've got to wait for it to arrive As well as a few other things, I've purchased a XT737 front chainset and cassette, and a XT739 front derailleur What I'm wondering now is, what rear derailleur should I get? Should I get a 739 to match the front one, or a 737 to...

Thanks for the info and the link to the catalogue, very helpful indeed I've just seen you're in Edinburgh, so it may be a little while before we get to met up!

Re: Thought I should post this picture for everyone.... I was out on the bike earlier just playing around with the shifters when I saw a car that caught my eye I know people have said that Rover have done a turquoise colour that closely resembles the '95 Cinder Cone, but this one looked...

Re: Thanks Col Your bike was the first one I saw when searching on here.....it's absolutely stunning mate Your bike is the reason I've decided to stick to the original colour Yours and Darren's (Feetabix) are the ones that have inspired me to do give the bike the rebuild it deserves Can you...

Re: It's got a seven speed 11-28 on it at the minute. The 11 and 13 gears both have two shark-fin shaped teeth on them. All other teeth look in good order I don't know whether to stick with seven speed, or move to eight I've heard the smaller jump between ratios is quite nice, and that...

Re: Thanks Chris Yeah, I got your PM the other day. I tried sending a reply, but as I access this forum by my phone I have no clue if I actually managed to send it to you or not I think your stem may be too long but I'll let you know for definite soon. I'm going to go to the local bike shop...

Hi Guys I've recently acquired a 1995 Kona Cinder-Cone (it was thrown in my skip at work) It's got a lot of non original components on it at present. I'm going to do a full restoration of the bike, and I'd like to try and get it back to being close to standard spec In an ideal world I'd like...
