You have pm incoming.. Happily purchase these for spares. thankyou .

I dont think theres anything useful about the remains, other than id correct one, its a single spring up in the head of the fork. I am uncertain what that makes it, from what I had understood prior to buying it , its likely a mongoose labelled basic one that the decals have come off.. I found an...

Hi, I dont think this is an option will take pics later.

Not sure this would seat properly in the mount but I shall examine the possibility Thankyou.

I thought to myself looks like a rocker spring, but with the lightness of the rest of the fork, I would not risk anything but genuine part for the job I dont think, I will be after a hard spring as I am not the lightest fellow, but as you say more saved searches across the platforms, which means...

Yep, thankyou with many bikes and several full builds of cars and countless machinery projects etc I am used to it, but not working with things I cant make or repair or buy easily even if a bit expensive, never an endgame with Land Rovers, Mini's , tractors etc..! Anyhow kind of you to reply...

So I succumbed to a long held desire recently for the amazing looking Amp forks, I know with every piece of common sense in my head, to not muddle with rare, obsolete, unicorn parts.. But I did it anyway! Bought here, and all seeming sound, but surface rusting in the steel bridge at the top of...

Hi there, Just to make sure ive understood correctly, this has a 22.2 quill for 1" forks? If so I may be able to do as someone suggested and swap out the stem component for a shorter one from an 1 1/8" stem to give me what I need, i.e. not this long as thats too much of a reach for me, but...

Yes please, pm incoming when ive figured out how to find anything else you may have for sale! cheers.

Thankyou, yes saw it, got all excited, went and measured against ny other clockworks and its waayyyyy too long. Which is a bugger as Scant is sound, and its otherwise ideal, as I will want to paint the same pearl white as the bike. My Marin is more like 110.... Thankyou though appreciate the...

Here, parts, advice, comedy of realising you will likely end up with more bikes and spares, and parts you remember from schooldays, but now may be better able to afford.. its a rabbit hole but a fantastic one. Welcome, and as others have said, you Marin has some of the best kit Shimano ever made...

Ive been looking at options for my not blingy but canti braked '92 Clockwork build, ive no stem currently, ive looked at the hanger things instead of steerer spacer, still not sure I like it, current thinking is the impossible find of 1" girvin flexstem with noodle, in a short length.. I know...

Pm incoming…

Agh ok, I will look, these I don’t think are as the finish on the welds is less perfect and they feel a little heavier than the ones on my other clockwork, which felt very light… and the weld finish etc was perfect. So the other bike perhaps Tange which means I learnt something! Will check out...

These are the forks that came with the frame, my other older clockwork has the same forks but I know that was built from a frame, by a shop so presumably these are a proprietary fork of the time? Curious on what they are though less important now we have established due to rookie mistake these...

Agh.. embarrassing should know this, being a relative newcomer to proper retro I had forgotten this, no I don’t think the Marins are old enough to 1” so that makes the decision easy! Thankyou

So I am doing up an Orange clockwork '91/92 I think from memory. Previous owner I bought it from on here, username escaping me will look it up when I get a minute, he described in a thread here chucking on some fat forks he had.. I was and am very happy with the purchase as it came with Saracen...

Yes it is, and finished quicker, bikes are arguably a distraction, but I also have a few cars!

At the end of the day its the wrong size.. so unless its a perfect donor ( no kidding yourself, actually swap out everything to build a bike in the right size without buying a ton of new stuff.. then NO!! I have two 19" konas had them decades but they were always big enough with plenty of post...

Hi there, missed out lord knows why I didn't twig, think those ineer chainring bolts would of been correct for my old middleburn, agh well . If you still have the kool stop black pads I would like them will pm..
