Re: 1998 Specialized FSR (little update 4 and oh no....) Found these: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Rock-Shox-Jud ... 3a7e3aa1ec The price they are wanting is pretty steep, but you could always make an offer. And here's some jr t's http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Marzocchi-Bom ... 35c43f17e6

Re: 1998 Specialized FSR (little update 4 and oh no....) Anything that has a 1 1/8th non tapered steer tube will work. Just make sure the steer tube is long enough. I went with a newer fox float on mine, but before I found it I was looking at judy xls as well. If you like those then you...

Thanks :D Yeah now that you mention it the seat does look a bit silly. Just went and adjusted it, does feel much better now, thanks for the tip!

Very nice build. Just saw the S-Works version on campus the other day. Needless to say the owner is not taking care of it the way it should be :/

Been lurking on here for a while and finally decided it's time to start a build thread. Now, keep in mind I'm currently a college student in my last semester so funds are a little short. When I bought the frame and went to look up the model I couldn't find any GC FSR that had the yellow S like...

Finally dried up enough to ride!

It will fit. Honestly though I'd upgrade to something a little newer. Check out pinkbike and ebay. Not sure if you're looking for coil or air but you can get a 2006ish fox float for around 60 euro. You can even get a longer travel one with that link, I'm not sure of all the i2i specs on it...

165mm i2i and 38mm stroke. Looks like a 98 or so fox vanilla rx, has preload and rebound adjustments.

Nice write up! Makes me wonder what my fsr has previously been though.

Search is horrid now.

Made my own version of a chain stop tonight. Not the best looking but it was free since I already had the parts. Never use the granny ring and the chain kept jumping off so hopefully this helps.

Have had some down time since it's been too muddy to ride. Wrapped the chainstay and tried the DIY chain guide using an old reflector clamp with some rubber zipped to it. Works well on the street so far.

Finally got a new fork! My first air, fox float 130mm. I know it's not really retro, I was originally gonna get a judy xl or older bomber, but for the price I couldn't pass it up. Unbelievable difference from my crappy old manitou 80mm coil. It didn't stay clean for long :P...

you have a pm

Im looking for a dual crown (triple clamp) fork. Must be regular qr dropouts and 1 1/8th steere that is around 195mm or longer. I prefer coil or coil with air assist, no elastomers. Really looking for something like a marzocchi bomber. Should go without saying that it must be in working order...

pmed you

still have the forks?

For those of you who repainted and added new decals, where did you get them made? Also, ideas for a good paint stripper that will get the job done so I don't have to wet sand much?

Awesome! :) will be ordering when I have some spare time

Thanks! I did some searching and also found this thread: http://forums.mtbr.com/singlespeed/rear ... 985-2.html he list then parts he used, but I can't for the life of me figure out where the hell to get a "swivel joint" Edit: just figured it out, it's called a "heim joint" will be attempting...
