I'm well happy with the Fairweather for XC from Blue Lug in Japan who've been mentioned before on here umpteen times - they have all sorts of tasty bike tit-bits. Made by Panaracer, they seem fairly light, 'proper' colour tan sidewalls and nice and knobbly so might be most suited to earlier...

Randomly popped-up on my UK FB feed. $11K?! That's some wedge

What the frig are those frigging cool forks?!

I'm not sure where to start...

Good God she was proper fit. Poster-girl that adorned many young chaps' walls up and down the UK.

Looks a good frame - it'd need to be cheap to bring it up to scratch but when finished with better kit and with the right forks could be a nice little rocket. Let us know how you get on

Nice - keep it up! Any bad bits will be easy to touch-in and not be that noticeable as it's such a fussy OE paintjob

Cor, settling down for this one. Those forks are pretty epic. You'll have to watch out for chasing packs of dogs if adding hock arf arf! I've already got my coat...

That's a plus-point for sure!

Nice colour, nice decals, seems nice condition, Prestige Ultimate Ultralight. Nice...

A colleague at work had the brainwave of jet-washing his root/ stump problem - it exposed it all with little fuss (well, except splash-back), and could then lop and chop to his heart's content. I have found that once the radiating roots are dealt with there's a right mo-fo or two growing...

Flog the Syncros - you'll probably get your money back - get another, longer one = peace of mind.

That is interesting - front end reminds me of Alpinestars Cro-Mega - straight forks and 1 1/4 headset.

Cor, that Pace with double neon cages is fricking sweet! As for muck and mud - bleurgh! Maybe that's why they invented Camelbak?!

Aaaaargh - you can see me on the top-right about 23 years ago - not changed FB photo! Edit - it's not very zoom-able! Nice forks though

Swazzy!

Yes, a good point well made!

For a bike that doesn't need a water bottle (as you'll be slaking thirst at the pub whilst admiring your pride and joy and not during a 3-hour race), assuming your bike has both seat and down-tube cage bosses, also assuming you have one cage, should there be no cage, on the downtube, or on the...

Agree re: Pace being the schizzle - top quality. I lusted after them and got them even when an impoverished student. The more modest parts I mention on this Merlin I got recently are fairly run of the mill groupset components - indeed not even a groupset with Dia-Compe cantis, a Shimano 600...

Excellent, thanks I'm thinking they were maybe fitted from new on the Merlin - trying to conjure-up a picture of who built it up and where. I'm thinking in the UK, with the frame as a massive splurge in cost for the owner, who maybe couldn't then afford to adorn it with US trickery, but had to...
