Better late then never He's finally done it what a legend !

i have noticed this very thing when i have been out riding on some of my old bikes , some people admire them and then you get some jumped up wannabes that basically try and take the piss !! i don'treally understand this , if it wasn't for a lot of the old stuff none of the new stuff would be as...

8 hours in to the hacksaw blade method , so far used about 10 blades broke 2 screwdrivers 1 can of plusgas many cuts to my hands and still not got very far and my patiencehas finally gone and ended up taking the hammer to the frame in a rage !!! i feel well and truly pissed !! not so much of a...

thats how i'm thinking now so i won't be doing it again !!

When ever i get a frame with either a seatpost or B/B included with the frame they end up being a complete pain in the arse !! they are always there for good reason , i.e they are stuck in good and proper !! My latest one is an orange Airo that i got which i was going to build into a winter hack...

i have still got one on my GT LTS that i used for downhill racing back in '96. i think that on downhill bikes they were a good idea but maybe not as much for x-country . but then more sophisticated chain devices came along and i guess they became redundent .

Yeah i would go to e bay and open a dispute , from a sellers and buyers point of view from disputes i,ve had before e bay tends to protect the buyer more than the seller so i would think you would have a good chance getting your money back .

i to have got a dura ace tool which ive had forever maybe it is just getting a bit worn now which is why i have these problems . with the cranks the threads only have to slightly strip the once and they are screwed , just like the pointless aluminium bolts that you couldn't tighten much and...

i am forever losing my patience trying to remove square taper B/B's and removing cranks from them . either you end up with the threads going on the cranks when the extractor tool pulls through and you can't get them off or the B/B cups get seized . once the threads have gone on the crank how is...

ive got a set on my Dave Yates i'll get some photos up for you . i did have a couple of boxes of spare DT swiss staight pull spokes for them that i had from years back but haven't got a clue where they are now . i think they are somewhere in my parents garage which is a tip . one positive thing...

i am looking at restoring my old Orange Prestige frame but am noticing a lot of rust flakes coming out of the tubes and rattling about inside . im just wondering how bad this might be ?

Youv'e just got to love Rossi-1 for his achievements and 1 for his personality but has never been my favourite due to the fact that i prefer Max Biaggi who never really made it at the top due to Rossi being so good ! Biaggi on the 250's was unstoppable but i think hung around for to long before...

yeah ive got a few left Catterick 92,Hamsterley 92 , kentmere 92 ,Langbaurgh-on-tees 92and final results , Langbaurgh 93 and finalresults and cheshire 94 . let me know your name and cat and i'll findit and scan them for you .

Why is there so much negativity about GT RTS's and LTS's ? they maybe a bit more common or mainstream than some of the early full suspension bikes , but they actually worked well and achieved things.yeah the whole point of having a BOTM is for fun , mine might be the worst but when i got my bike...

Yeah i agree with what you say , when you used to be able to go to the NEMBAs and BMBF races and enter all of the disiplines on the same bike was great fun , then when the full sussers came along you sort of needed to have 2 bikes 1 for XC and 1 for DH if you were going to take both seriously...

Here is my GT LTS that i used to race for downhill that i got back in 1996 and is completley original to how it was then . with original Rock shox DHO

yeah that does suck people shouldn't offer a price on a deal then back out to do it for someone else not good darts . feel for you

the point im trying to get at is the whole idea of selling things on e-bay is that you are hoping to sell something for as much as you can get for it . i just find that this happens alot in general . if people don't offer postage this will narrow down the amount of people who will put bids in...

I don't know if anyone had been watching the Orange Aluminium Elite Frame on E-bay . It had original Manitou forks ,cranks ,F & R mechs gripshits brakes , stem and mavic headset so pretty much a complete bike . it said no postage so i enquired if he was willing to send it but pretty much said...
