I don't have space for another bike, but that rear disc mount looks similar to the one on trek VT etc. If it is I have an adapter to make an IS mount caliper fit if the buyer wants it.

2nd both of the above (although ABC did dent a frame of mine once as they're more used to bed frames and industrial work). Another worth trying is http://www.griffsmotorcycleservices.com/1021/frames.php Does a superb job (single colour) for a little more than ABC (about £45ish I think) but...

liking that. Personally I'd go for 3DV canti's on that if you can find nice ones (but then I seem to be in the minority not liking maguras). That might be a good excuse to build another bike around the maguras and bar/stem taken off this though.

interesting frame. What size is it (toptube as well as seat tube length)?

I think 420mm.

XTR was indeed unique - to MTB. It was the same spline as road octalink though, so a road triple BB may work fine.

Agree that this is the best method. Try some welders heat sink putty on the crank arm to try and limit any heat damage (melting) of the alloy. http://www.muggyweld.com/coolblue.html

+1 for sorting the rear sus. It's the whole point of this bike in my opinion so it has to be done, however long it takes. As an example, when I got my boulder the rear shock wasn't great. After several attempts it is now rebuilt with adjustable damping, etc and works great. The bike also...

interested in helmet. Roughly what size?

pm sent to OLDMAN

I was interested when they were still sub £100. I may have gone to £150 max, but they're just silly now.

Damn, I'd hoped no-one had spotted these. I'm going for them but not fussed about the Hyperends, so if I win they'll be up for grabs.

Provided steerer length and diameter are ok, I have a new, boxed hope mono mini (black) front brake. It's surplus due to not having a matching rear and having just sorted some Hope XC4's for the project.

Better still, get a set of minis or M4s to improve power and let me have the XC4's. Not the most powerful brakes by a long way, but they'd be nice on my Morati.

1. Breezer lightning - Got 2. Boulder Gazelle - Got 3. Early Stumpjumper - 1983 - Got 4. Morati - On it's way! 5. Clunker from the late '70's - still looking 6. Breezer twister 7. Colnago Master MTB with full Campag Record OR 5. Breezer number 1 - Well, you did say dream bikes!

Also looks like the top tube's been sat on rather heavily at some point.

Sorry if it upsets you, but the RRP on the Giro indicator is £30 anyway, see http://www.madison.co.uk/productinfo.aspx?&tier1=Helmets%2c+Eyewear+%26+Protection&tier2=Helmets+-+Sport+%26+Leisure&catref=CG2007294 The prices went up to around £40 in Feb, but came back down to £30 a few weeks back...

Would that be referring to the bike designed by Mike Burrows in the '80's which Boardman rode in the 1992 Olympics? If so, either the dates are off or it was inspired by, rather than leading up to the Olympic bike. Must admit, I'd also be more tempted as frame only due to the kit fitted...

He's also selling without the shock unless you pay extra, making it even more useless and expensive.

We've had 2 of these through the shop. Neither was straight, faced, or particularly light. If you fancy an on one, buy the steel one. If you fancy Ti, buy something else.
