Re: I'm about to start a '92 myself. My dad had the palisades from 91, a zolatone team is on my bucket list too.

Re: That looks great! About to start a RTS1 myself, good ideas here.

Everyone's feed back appears to be spot on. Brakes were hs11s as one came with it. The seat tower repair is very likely as there's another rc100 on Google images I spotted that had the same work done, same size as well. Will continue today!

Re: boy"O"boy's 1990 Specialized Stumpjumper Comp. This is quite a nice colour scheme:

Re: And bits slotted on.

Re: Crankset put back together. Luckily had a Pace top ring and Venhill bottom keeping it in house!

Re: Good progress today on the build. Forks rebuilt:

oh that al mega. love one of those uncracked

The designer that worked for Whyte worked on these, Justin

I'm getting rid of the shimmed post, what size are they?

Re: I've gone hs33 on the brakes, the re-reviting of the bottle cage bolt went well as the school I work at has a plane build on the way so lovely kit to borrow! 3D printed guides look OK.

Agreed on the rc30s but I'd imagine the backwards magura mount fork legs are rarer than.

The cable guides were missing so i 3D printed a set, sanded them and sprayed them black. I have since acquired another set off a deceased crackenfail sm800 so i might use those.

The frame came bare alloy which I've decided to keep as most are painted, I'd imagine this was painted at some point.

The cranks and stem went off for powdercoating. The did a great job for 20 quid, shout out to Redditch powdercoaters.

I'm going to try to upload my project pics if I can. So the story behind this bike is that it was bought originally from the Derby area. The original owner unfortunately became very ill so he gave it to his best mate. There was a sentimental attachment to it which is why it sat for 18 years in a...

Re: I haven't and I really should. It's currently stripped and polished. Stem and cranks have been powdercoated, bb bearings, elastomers, working hs33s, xt thumbs, bottle cage bolts sourced so well on its way.

Re: Got a similar build on the go at the moment. Looks great, mine's the same size I think.
