Re: That's gone together really nicely, and a usable build spec too. 737/9 is probably my favourite groupset, XTR quality but without the associated fragility. 8)

Re: I'd be very carful about saying 'never' but the one's I'm most unlikely to ever part with are my Muddy Fox Explorer and GT Zaskar

Considering how short the steerer tubes are on Clockwork frames, that must be a monster. :D I was never very keen on the silver & purple colour way back in the day, but it has grown on me over the years. This one looks to be in good shape, it should build up into a nice ride. Looking...

Re: Re: See... I knew I should have followed the link in your post. :facepalm: Looks very much like that DB; good call.

Re: Don't have a clue what it is, but chain stay mounted u-brakes were not uncommon in the late '80's so you're not going to identify it that way. That seat cluster, & the drop out are probably a better place to start.

Re: I'm hoping to get out on it this weekend If I get a chance (although life is completely mad at the moment, so who knows?). I'll take some more photos if I do & do a short ride review. The forks are here, with no immediate plans for them. :wink:

Re: That's a nice find. Good project too. 8) Here's my, now finished, 94 Kili Flyer....

Re: That's the fella

Re: I seem to remember that the price new BITD was 10K. Not a brilliant investment then even at the BIN. Nice piece of British mountain bike history though. 8)

Re: So Gil has come up trumps (yet again) with some replacement decals... ...and I have fitted some STX RC cant's Cabled up with some spare outer I had left over from the Clockwork build.

Re: Now that's a rare beast. I'd heard they existed & seen a photo in a catalogue, but that's the first I think I've ever seen 'for real'.

Re: I retro faster? No of course it's not. We're all here on the forum because we love old bikes and I think we have a rose tinted view of the past and a slightly old fart cynical view of the present. I remember people making the same arguments against, suspension forks. and then...

Re: Lovely trio you have there. Great work on the Zaskar restoration. and love the Sintesi 8)

Re: Looking good 8)

Re: Welcome. You're going to fit right in here. :D

Re: Re: Cheers chap. Brakes next, and I have an M737 front mech on the way (Stupidly sold one I had at Mayhem last summer- always the way :facepalm: ) Then cabling up and it should be done for now. I need to speak to Gil about some replacement decals too. Also on the look out for a more...

Re: So next up.... I had an XT M737 rear mech put aside. Well used, but in reasonably good condition with an SRP breakaway bolt. Wheels are Mavic 217 SUP rims in champagne (my favourite colour for these), with an M737 rear hub and cassette. Hope provide the front Suspension Hub...
