Re: Those were the nicest Saracens and the forks look great on them. It’s a lot of money (proportionally) to fix something that’s probably just rust/bubbling. That said, some people do get their cheque books out for that perfect ride of their youth!

Re: Welcome to the boards. That a lovely Pace and lots of us have a real soft spot for it. Two matching panracers would look great. It looks already modded - are you running 1x ? I expect that it doesn’t get thrashed like they were back in the day

You have some nice parts collected there

Re: Here’s a picture of the ozone for reference. You can see I have been collecting some bits for it

Hello there I have two builds on the go - the most recent a Trek 9800 oclv and the other a lovely ozone / smokestone Both came with period suspension; trek and manitou 2 I have some rc35s on another ozone. I just find they are heavy, flex and have jack all bounce. And I don’t do anywhere near...

Hi there all, I am just a shed tinkerer and I’d love some help from you chaps I bought a lovey bike and with it came some wheels with m900 hubs. They have Matrix Singletrack Pro rims. The wheels seem true with no wobbly spokes They are a bit grimy after a couple of decades in a quiet garage -...

I have some lovely xtr cantis I want to mount on an old Ozone - but while the cantis are in good nick the original bolts are oxidised a not good enough for such a beautiful build. Similarly the actual bolts that clamp the brake wires are old a d oxidised Does anyone sell some kind of replica...

Thanks all, I will slowly work through these - starting with some Plusgas, interesting that there are 4 very valid responses; chemical, heat, mechanical, practical.

Re: I think they are an absolute sod to get back together.

Re: To clarify the first picture is one I think it should look like the second is the problem!

Hello all - I wonder if you can help I took delivery of a lovely Trek 9800. I have stripped it down slowly and I have come across a stubborn shim (from some Xtr canti brakes) that seems welded onto the brake pivot Any suggestions on what fluid / method gets it off? I have tried copious WD40...

I took possession of this. Beautifully wrapped and have started to have a proper look. The frame is very light - will weigh it when I get it properly stripped.
