I'm speechless. Like the captain says: incredible bike and more importantly, real history behind it.

Hi Guys, sorry I haven't been particularly together lately, I was trying to keep to simple stuff to keep my mind of some horrible stuff. Anyway, here for discussion is a possible line up: As you can see I am thinking about asking some guests to attend, and it'll need some organising, but I...

Score! That's gorgeous :-) Know anything about it? Fillet Brazed 531 with a lovely 531 fork. Nice.

Osella: I did exactly as you instr4ucted and they work perfectly. Thanks a lot :-) I love these brakes: I thought they were going to be awkward but so far they are easy to work on and seem to work very well indeed.

Re: I gotta new boingy thing... Brakes bled and filled. They're good these new fangled things, aren't they? One of the things that means I do a lot of brake maintenance is that I like a good clean feel at the handle ( fnarrr etc) I love the feel at the lever of these, they are really nice. And...

Re: I gotta new boingy thing... Ta :-) I was taking the bike apart and it occurred to me, looking at the ( fecked ) rear mech that something else was wrong with it. It's a rapid rise. Well at least it would have gone in the bin anyway.

Excellent, thanks very much :-)

Not sure I follow you. I don't think it is, but i might be misunderstanding: It's this exact brake. http://www.birota.ru/manuals/magura/dis ... _julie.pdf

Re: I gotta new boingy thing... Right then, I have had a bit more of a poke and gave it a going over with Muc - off and a brush, and found the MBUK review - just a quick phonepic of it: After the poking about I have discovered the following: No cracks or dings. The wheels are fine It needs...

Thanks chaps : very helpful :-) Really appreciate it :-)

Ello all. So, new ( to me but old ) bike with Magura Julies - 2003 and the levers are squeezable all the way to the bar with no resistance: I am assuming they need fluid. Is it vital to use Magura stuff or will the DOT stuff do? ( The Magura stuff seems to come from Far AWAY. ) Aslo, anything I...

Re: I gotta new boingy thing... Yep, it changes the amount of travel - 4, 5 or 6 inches, and alters the head tube angle and BB height accordingly. . The QR makes it easy to use and I have never heard of one releasing by accident ( the whole area is really strong and the QR axle is about 9mm in...

Re: I gotta new boingy thing... Hmm, according to MBUK it is ( or should be ) a 2003 model, what with the review being in the March 2003 Issue. It's odd but I can find nothing about it via Google. Anyone got the 2003 Catalogue to confirm in case it's a mid season special or something? The MBUK...

Anyone got one of those little yellow doobries for helping bleed Magura Disks? All the ones on Ebay are in the states and will therefore take ages to arrive.

Really nice work Rick. I like the idea of more subtle decals: are you thinking dark grey or similar?

As far as I know, S Works was Spesh's equivalent of Lexus to Toyota. Hand made in USA etc. All good stuff. How's the bike now?

Re: I gotta new boingy thing... I had to come home early :-( The bike is here, and it's in better condition than the pics make it look, the forks are lovely and plush and the shock holds Air ( I dunno anything else about it yet - it may need a service ) The cables are shot and the brakes need...

Hi all - I was going to get some sample agendas up today but my head is in the wrong place. Our little cat Posie died today and I am all over the place. Organisation will be beyond me until tomorrow I suspect. Brieflyh though I may be coming around to the piggybacking the event kind of Idea...

hey folks: thanks so much for the input. :-) I will over the next few days make up a couple of sample agendas and post them here, taking into account as much of all of this I can. ( and Rob - the idea won't be to focus on concourse stuff: it'll be to celebrate all of MTB history and for people...

Re: I gotta new boingy thing... Oooh Kaz I didn't see your post: yes please :-) Am ok for tyres currently - I sold a few surplus ones a couple of weeks ago :-) Twain: My GF has a Wolf Ridge: it's lush. :-)
