I just picked up a Judy DH with a cracked arch, so I'm in the same boat.

All done, besides a front QR O-ring. These look so good now, I can't wait to finish the rest of the bike!

Yep, the one I need is a Park Tools HCW-4, and I'm also going to look for a BBT-7 for future lock ring adjustments. I don't want to tear up the metal like the last guy did when he installed these.

Disassembled, cleaned, and sorted. I could not get the drive side cup out of the frame, it is fully seized in there. I still haven't tried heat yet, but that will come later. Even if I get it out, it will only be kept as a spare. I picked up a NOS Tioga Revolver BB cup set on eBay, as well as...

This weekend, I'm cleaning up the wheels! Before: After: These are LX M550 laced to Ritchey Vantage Comp rims, and they came with steel Ringle Cam Twists in black. This is one of the reasons I was so excited to buy this bike. I knew the wheels were sweet, bomb proof, 36 spoke, yet...

Thanks! I spend a lot of my free time staring and thinking about my bikes, trying to envision what they could look like. It's nice to actually make them real. Thank you! I'm lucky to have found a proper matching fork. Maybe in a few years, I'll upgrade to a black and orange decal RS-1, but for...

I know it's a long shot, but do you still have a spare setting bolt and washer? I just picked up a set of these cranks, and the washer and now I suspect the bolt are not original. Thanks!

Well, I didn't expect to find my dream cranks for this bike so soon! I was hunting on Marketplace, and I happened across this 96 Zaskar LE for $125, with a worn pair of Revolvers. It also came with mismatched wheels, the rear having a black M732 hub, so I'll eventually swap that over and...

This weekend, I've been cleaning and polishing these brakes for the project, a set of silver BR-M650. I also shined up the pedal bodies while I prep the cages for refinish. And finally, the finished brakes, ready to go on!

The bike finally came together in my head last night, and I've decided to narrow the build to the following parameters: 1. Keep the budget as low as possible, so use what I have on hand when possible 2. Keep the bike as close to the original owner's vision as possible This means I'm going to...

I think I finally found out who makes these! Check out this listing on eBay: https://www.ebay.com/itm/154639196489?hash=item240136e149:g:6HgAAOSwK3thXFXF They have a Wheeler logo on them, and are anodized silver.

This took less than one episode of Star Trek: Voyager to complete, so I'm pretty happy with the results. No damage to the small chainring, bottom bracket, or the frame. When I got the bike, I noticed the stripped threads on the drive side, so I was prepared for a fight. I took every precaution...

It really is growing on me! It's my first splatter paint job. I can't wait to find a good match for the Hunter Orange.

The frame has not been refinished, it's the original paint, and in decent condition. The only decals with damage are the SM800 on both sides of the top tube, and the "Patent Pending" on the drive side seat stay. There is some paint chips, scratches, rub through, and by both dropouts, there is a...

I currently have an old Sachs chain in a jar of mineral spirits, sitting in a nice hot ultrasonic bath. This is the second go in the bath, since there was still some dirt on the inside links, so I scrubbed it with a wire brush, and now it's back in for a few hours. Once it's done, I'll wipe it...

Paging @chiswickcollectables, you might appreciate this rebuild. Your many 1991 Beast Of The East threads are part of what made me pull the trigger on buying this bike and restoring it, so thank you!

I just picked up this 1991 SM800 Beast of the East. This is my first Cannondale, and I'm excited to finally dip my toes in this side of vintage mountain biking! I just finished a restoration on a 1991 Trek 990, and I told myself I didn't need another black and orange '91 vintage mountain bike...

I'd love to buy these from you. I just happened across a pair of wheels that needs these decals desperately.

That's a 1996 special edition, I love that blue color! I used to have one, but it was damaged in shipping, so I striped it of parts and sold the frame to a friend who was getting into frame building. Now it's a fat bike with a new rear triangle.
