Just a quick update. Got some IRC Mythos for the Mavic wheels, and got those built up ready. Seem as they were sat there and the SID's arrived, I thought I'd give it a dry mock up to see if i was happy with my purchases!

Yes, the plan is to get decals done in the original colours before someone stripped the paint off it. So yellow red and blue based. I’d love to get it painted back how it should but it’s too much of a job, so just something in the vein of the colour scheme will suffice I think.

It was meant for Gerard as above, but thanks! That's a shame too about Jimmylad.

Sod it, its raining, and I thought I'd give it a dry build with what I have so far. So, here we go...!

Did you manage to build the RSP 550 to Clarke spec?

That is lovely! At least I know what my latest build should look like when painted.

The forks arrived this morning, so its just about there for building up. 2000 Rock Shox SID, the same year as the frame and other parts too, which is good. These are pretty damned tidy in all fairness. I also made a start today cleaning up the WTB SST saddle I bought for the build. This will...

Thanks. It’s staying bare Ti. One of the last parts arrived today These Mavic Crossride wheels. I’ll be making a start very soon on the build so expect plenty of photos etc!

Thanks! Fingers crossed it will be Next up will be searching out some wheels…

I’ve been deliberating what forks to build the bike with. After a few weeks hunting about, these came up on eBay. Period to the frame and the first SID I’ll have owned.

Quick update on the 350. Got a shorter Syncros Stem and some virtually NOS X-Lite XC Risers. These will end up on the Raleigh RSP550 Ti build eventually, but I thought I would trial them on the 350.

One of our van drivers at work stated that “I’ve got an old MTB, I will get some pictures to see what you think” He knew it was a Specialized Rockhopper and not much more. Long story short, below is a picture he took tonight of it for me. Turns out to be a Rockhopper Comp FS. What year do...

I did see you'd sold the tyres, great work! Looking forward to more updates on the FB page mate

If you happen to be on Facebook, it will be worth asking on our group on there, we have ex Raleigh employees and product managers on there who would maybe be able to help out.

One from today, its getting there! Hope Skewers are on there way...

A small update...I'm still gathering the parts for the build. The progress so far..

There is this NOS one on eBay at the mo too. 1999 Raleigh RSP 300 We have a couple on our facebook page too, and the owners really rate them to be fair

Yeah, getting the original decals and paint work would prove to be a pain, so it’s definitely staying raw Ti.
