re fitting judy's Cheers for that guys.Assume the term "LOAD OF BOLLOX"is a technical one lol. Must admit he didn't try to sell me the latest full suspension down hill racer,probably the holes in my shorts and my general appearance convinced him he'd be wasting his time

Wonder if anyone out there can help me. Have just got a set of "Judy" XC forks(with 1 1/8" steerer tube) for my '96 Lava Dome and on speaking to the LBS they've told me that they won't fit as the necessary 1 1/8" threadless headset won't fit the head tube. I don't know the internal diameter of...

re judy forks (def interested if they'll fit) Wondering if the judy forks will fit my 16" lava dome.Steering tube length is 90mm from top to bottom,not including bearing cups and original P2 forks are 400 mm in length,if thats any help(never fitted susp forks before). Many thanks

re self control They almost did lock me up with regards to the 1st incident,said I'd used TOO much force whilst restraining him :shock: . Occupational hazard of getting caught .....it was only that the thieving shits mate had threatened me with a pool cue that swung things in my favor...

re stolen/recovered Long story but the 1st time was from outside local corner shop .....chased after him for about a mile on foot (wasn't such a fat b'stard then lol)finally caught up with him going in his mates house and burst in(a little bit annoyed,and sweating)and after restraining him with...

Another "burnt orange" one but still the best color I think. Taken the day I got it home and not digital,don't think digital was available BITD so not best quality pic. Has been and still is being updated ........ mainly due to being stolen/recovered twice. I know its wrong and probably makes...

re rust Nothing ventured,nothing gained. I'd get it blasted and see what it was like then.

RE PIC Doh,not at home at the mo'....will re post pic once I'm home again. :lol:

Included a pic of my 'Dome (which I found today) taken the day I brought it. Still in the middle of rebuilding it after it was stolen,basically the same now,just some updated bits on it. Will include pics once its finished.(and they'll be digital) :) Apologize the photo isn't that...

Have STX crank arms (170 mm) in reasonable condition (plus the bottom bracket if wanted) for sale.£12 posted. Now included pics of crank plus SIS "Thumbies" £7 posted Still to find out postage to US,hopefully next week.

Re negatives Another possible option is to get a photo shop to develop them and provide you with prints,scan them and then put them onto your disc or get the photo shop to do it for you.

re chrome clip Assume you were asking where I got the clip from ..... LBS (well not local but you know what I mean) It is just an old style brake cable clip(what used to be used before brazed on lugs) which,after some explaining to the young lad in the LBS who had a puzzled look on his face as...

re dog collar/V brakes Sure its been mentioned before but I managed to get a chrome cable clip which I've located about 4/5" in front of seat tube (see attached photos). Possibly even "more retro" than a dog collar.

re lava dome Great job..... top notch.Will have to pull my finger out of my backside and get mine finished before it starts snowing again. How were the new forks ???

Re ebay Kona Well thats definitely put a smile on my face.(Even if I say so myself) my '96 Lava Dome,burnt orange is def in better condition with a few more bits on it so if he sells his for £150 would hope mine was worth as much if I ever decided to sell it. :D

Re banned user With regards to "Banned user" tag,as you can properly see I've only very recently joined but the day after I'd registered I was banned for sending Spam in my private messages ???????? As I'd,at that time only sent 4/5 messages to 2 people,I was and still am puzzled how I was...

re theft Sorry to hear of your loss,know how you feel.Had my LAVA DOME stolen from my garage 5/6 years ago but about 18 months later the verminous scum went past the garage just as I coming out ..........revenge was sweet. I know 2 wrongs do not make a right but it certainly made me feel good.

re vinyl repair Agree Evo Stick should work fine but had split on a vinyl M/c saddle years ago and got some "Vinyl Weld" from local motor factors and its still working fine.

Re powdercoat in portsmouth probably a bit late but have used 2 p.coaters in portsmouth .........1 turn into fitzherbert road coming from sainsbury and was a place on the rh side down the road towards "SAAKE" company do boilers etc and then couple of hundred yards and turn left down alleyway...
