Is that my old pair ? I say old, but most of it was remade.

I heard somewhere it was referred to by Hope as Forest Green. They would occasionally crop up. A front hub here, a set of spacers or a top cap there, but rare instances that trying to collect all the parts indicated you would be spending years and years trying to track it all down. I think the...

OK. The Raleigh is a must, I've had one and it was a great bike to ride. As to the rest, well I found the GT boring, so yeah it's Ti, but meh. The Litespeed as a suss isnt up to the job really. Yes it is a lovely bike, and its era was a while back and lets just face it, its cruel forcing an old...

Tried Onza on ebay ? If nowt, looks like its this sort of thing, so maybe see if theres a UK supplier. https://www.trial-bikes.com/en/monty-4-bolt-to-v-brake-adaptors-p-537983.html

Keep these. Dump these.

It was an example, and its only down to frame shape as I dont know the shapes on the frame you're looking to put it on . So with the others in the nukeproof range, just look for the frame style it fits compared with your own. So wide top tube, or round, remembering if something is too wide, say...

USE shock posts were notorious for slipping. They coated it in the same stuff as a bomber stanchion and it was impossible even dry to get it tight enough to grip the surface.

Yes, but is that a road cassette he's got on there ?? I'd one of these and glad I got rid of. Damn thing was a danger to life and limb. Pull brake and the middle jumps up propelling you off the saddle.

Before even taking into account thats its a collection of bits, whats going on with the fork stanchions ?,did he clean them with wet and dry ? Overall its in pretty poor shape for that kind of money, plenty of scratches and apart from the main body, the rest of the paintwork is dull and...

Thats £240 too expensive for Ishaw :LOL: ;)

3M helitape is really expensive for what it is. Would a pre-cut kit suit ? eg. https://www.wiggle.com/p/nukeproof-reactor-alloy-frame-protection-kit

I'd limit it to whatever you have most of in coloured bits. Keeping in mind some bits are harder or more expensive than others For example. Easy to get headset spacers, top cap, clamp etc but not so easy to get wheelsets or cranks without spending a lot more.

People have paid that for cracked and extremely manky white porcs. Or a Manitou FS, in equally cracked condition. Knackered disc drive anyone 😕 Some things you just arent going to get new and shiny, and in the collecting game, sometimes if it looks good, it looks good and is a plus to just have.

I see Hope, so thats me interested. And fish and chips too, just so long as the batter is good and crispy and theres no bones.

Probably grinding off the entire mount, fabricating another, then welding that on. Heat treatment after. No small task but worth it. I got an Amp F4 BLT that was missing literally one complete side and all the pivot points were riddled with cracks. I had an engineer replace all the parts and...

Been the week for rare calipers, and here's another. No7 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/204562411690?hash=item2fa0deb0aa:g:jjsAAOSwt5Fk~ctl

With 40 watchers Im probably the last to see this :LOL: But for those others that havent, here it is. One of the disc mounts looks to have snapped, but possibly a talented specialist could repair that. Either way its as rare as it gets...

Typically being me, I'd like to see more Hope stuff. I feel they played an important role in mountain bike development.
