Thanks guys. I have no info on tubing (no decal, and i'm afraid not to be able to really ID it without), but BB thread is italian and headset is british threading (but forks do not seem original to me).

Damn... i'm lacking a PHD or two here :) thanks both for your advices, i'll dig this further.

Good point. I'll look into that as well. Thanks !

Resurrecting this old thread with another Rider frame viewtopic.php?f=12&t=417682 and still looking for provenance / builder :)

Thanks a mil, that's spot-on ! My frame looks very much like the one on the ad. Living outside Uk, i'm not exactly aware of Graham Weigh : if anyone has more infos i'm keen on receiving them ! Cheers PS : i just noticed another topic regarding a Rider frame on the forum thanks to the Graham...

Thanks !

Doesn't ring a bell ?

Anyone ? Loctite maybe ?

Thanks a bunch ! Nice to know as mine as the springs / elasto mix.

Hi, I'm currently trying to rebuild a pair of Manitou 3 forks (i'm not an expert on these at all) and searched this forum for advice. I noticed two differents models : - some have elastomers only like on this diagram http://suspensionforkparts.net/manuals/ ... itou_3.pdf - some others have a...

Hello, Got my hands on a 80's CX frame from Vitus - bonded / glued aluminium as they do. For whatever reason one of the brake bosses was unscrewed and unglued. I'd like to glue it back on, before screwing it. Any advice regarding what glue to use ? Best

Hi, I recently acquired this nice steel lugged frame from mid to late 80's, branded as Rider. It's kitted with a full Chorus groupset + Lambda wheels and possesses all the trademarks of high end racing bike : chrome fork and chainstays, race number hanger, pantographed parts (inc. stay and...

Hi, I just stumbled on Paul Brodie's own youtube channel with pretty cool framebuilding videos shot from his shop. https://www.youtube.com/c/paulbrodie/videos It's quite a recent channel (3 months old) so i thought it may not have been mentioned on here yet (sorry if it had already but i...

Thanks Tomas. Your guess about their titanium painting makes sense to me. Will try what you suggest. Thanks again.

Thanks for the infos. I thought they'd make the seam look... seamless somehow :oops: Anyway, any tip to tell wether i'm dealing with a crack in this case ? Thanks again

Thanks. I'm surprised the seam would be so visible but i'm not a tube construction specialist. On the other hand a vertical crack would be quite improbable wouldn't it ?

Hi guys, Thanks a mil for the spoke tip it worked wonder ! I'm now left with another question : i noticed a couple thin stripes on both legs, spreading vertically but not on the entire leg (ie from crown to drop out) and fading at both ends. Some look look like coating wear and at least one...

Thanks guys ! (Just out of curiosity : would you ID what type of compression nut it is or how it was supposed to work before falling apart ?) Will try the spoke technique but it won't be easy as the steerer is very lightly bent... we'll see. @TOMAS : It's definitely not steel (magnet test done)...

Sold pending payment.

Hello, Just got my hands on a Raleigh U.G.L.I. Ti fork fit on a unmatching frame, with the idea of mounting it on an another frame (unfortunately not a Dyna Tech, but TI still :)). The stem compression device is not a standard starnut but a three pieces thing : a sort of shim or ring fit tight...
