It was a fair amount of work and a lot of mess but it still worked out well, I believe it’s hung up in a bike shop/cafe in Poole now! Still have a few of the other from you!
Hope Mini Pro from around 2007/8 I think.
...actually Hope have tech diagrams on there site: https://www.hopetech.com/product-documents/brakes/#!mono-mini-pro-brake (Scroll down!)
Love these, interested to see what you do with it. What's going on with the shock mount, looks like it's either got a bolt missing or has been made so that shock clears the frame?
Couple of pics of a similar project I did, it's been moved on now though. Lairy colours would be great!
Sounds like you had a mare with them, real shame.
Sorry to jump in like a vulture but I'm missing a top cap off a set of similar forks, wonder if you'd let them go for spares?
Hi Simon, LTS2 had an aluminium linkage like the one in your picture. The LTS1/team and mk1 DH had the Ti linkage.
Ti linkage in the 1995 catalogue: http://www.retrobike.co.uk/gallery2/d/10533-2/1995.pdf
Not expecting anything from this but if I don't ask...
...I'm after a faceplace for an Azonic Shorty, have a couple of complete stems but this one came on a bike without it.
Very unlikely anyone has one spare but if you do let me know!
I once reamed out an old Cindercone seat-tube so a 27.2 would fit, the lower level frames had a bit of meat on them and it didn't need alot of work to get it to fit.

I use the above, it's like using Nitromors of the past as in it works and it will burn your skin. Just did a modern full suspension frame very good stuff.
Raw then use something like this to polish...
I tried the composite Burgtec's, really good... but they sit close to the crank arm, if you've slightly bigger feet the One Up ones are a better bet. I have those now and for me they're a much better pedal, kids bikes have comp. Burgtec's on.
Saw that one go on ebay last night, that's big money (it wasn't even that clean) but it definitely made me consider selling mine.
Was going to wait until lock down has eased and put the full bike on ebay but could be tempted to split it.
