Re: I will check my frame number to compare. The RF LP with the grove feature in the 1995 catalog. Non grove I always thought were later.

Re: I have same Middleburn....125/127mm axle! RF for me on mine. Are they are they not earlier Turbine LP? Could be 1995. Often they had a year date on them rather than code. What date is the frame?

Re: Riser are a great upgrade. I need to get one for my B3...it is the exchange rate and duty which hurts! Looking good though. I not what you mean re polishing....I try and avoid it at all costs!

Re: Re: What did I do..... ;-) You'd better get some photos up.

Re: Nice B3 and welcome to the club. AMPs are addictive....just a look in my garage will attest to that. They were predominantly sold as frames. The factory ones had Controltech finishing kit. Anyway enjoy and I look forward to the build.

You and me both. The other post was about colour and this is supposed to be the build thread. But I get confused too.

Re: XTR 951 Rear Deraileur - Rapid Rise PM sent.

Re: Been doing some work. Few set backs: the wheels I hoped to use are not going to work, so will m need to build some up which a pain. Still mulling the headset. Getting the right blue is not straightforward as I found with the seat clamp. But will work on it. I painted the spring blue as it...

So been doing a little on the frame. Rear attached. Needs the decals putting on. Working on colour scheme. Thinking blue cabling with red ferrule ends. Not sure about the headset...could go blue. Blue seat clamp. Seat post I'm not sure, the Thompson is temporary....too long. Cranks I have a lot...

Thanks Mr P I'm not convinced by the head set. I might try the blue one, though it is higher stack. Not sure what other colour would work.

Thanks Mr P I'm not convinced by the headset either. I might try the blue one, though it is higher stack. Not sure what other colour would work.

Re: Re: Thanks. The forks are a quandary. I don't really want to buy any in. I was trying to do the build from what I have on the shelf. I want something bright. I have some early Bombers bit the red is a deep, darker one. They weigh a ton which seems folly on this bike. But maybe...

Re: Re: Thanks mate. I know what you mean...and they think they have been risky with bright logo on Matt black...ooh err. Cranks it will be either Synchros or orange RF which don't look as bad as they sound. I will post a photo.

Re: Thanks chaps. O am quite pleased with the way it has turned out. Build wise I am still mulling over. Intial thoughts are SRAM 9.0 SL which I bought from Ian (reminds me I must get him to send them) which is about correct timewise. Cranks I'm thinking Syncros maybe RaceFace. Headset will be...

Re: Re: Strange....the only person in a building......... I have updated the other thread........http://www.retrobike.co.uk/forum/viewto ... 8#p3012208 but some photos here too......looking like the catalogue.

Okay been some time......... :facepalm: The rear went off to Italy for repair back in September and after the various issues were sorted, other frame parts sent out, it came back in late November. Meanwhile the frame had gone for powder-coating in October. I was in no hurry. They had some...

Re: Apologies chaps. I had every intention of getting home early and taking photos but alas best laid plans etc. I will get an update ASAP.

Re: Re: It was Peter Grisley. :D

It certainly feels like it.
