Perfect. Thanks for putting this up. My 5'2" wife is going to love this once I have cleaned it up. Thanks chaps.

Argh. That's nice. My collection of Bigfoots is an illness!

Re: I have revisited and reread all this thread. Great work, your enthusiasm for engineering and problem solving is infectious.

No. Looks like Bobo beat me to it! I was all fired up as eBay sent me a second chance to bid, moved some cash around so the wife wouldn't see it and boom it was withdrawn. Check on here and see this thread. Probably all for the best, need to stop buying bits and build up the projects. Just...

Re: Here's my strat. Occasionally check joint account. Wait until wife makes reasonably large purchase on shoes or coat. Gently point out it wasn't agreed but hey you love her and what ever makes her happy is in your interests too. Encourage 2nd purchase. Buy bike on qt. then BAM reveal...

Re: We all wish we could do that. Oh to be as fit as I was then but to have my current buying power !

You have done well there, lots of nice bits. Get it cleaned up and lets see some nice photos

Re: Stick around Bash! I was all set to bid on the Coyote when I got a second chance and now its been pulled ... what happened! J

Re: 450 with an hour to go. The coyote is going high too. My wife has tapped me out!!

Bash, relax mate. Spud's a good guy. This is a community that relishes restoring old bikes like yours and assisting one another in that end. Your bike has an interesting frame that some people like me (I have three ozones....) would like. It also has some nice period parts that others might...

Oh dear. Better check with the wife ...

Interested to know how your manitou rebuild goes with eBay poly rod. Please post some more pictures and thoughts

Re: All my Ozones have 1 1/4 headsets, though two came with shims down to 1 1/8. The only one with original forks had a threaded set of rc35s

This is brilliant. Any form of time/money analysis would tell you to stop immediately. But if you have the skills and you're having fun then please keep going. And please keep us updated.

Re: New boiler sale, 18" SMOKESTONE Hmm, I thought about this over night. I would like that frame and probably some more bits. Can I dibs it and we can work something out? PM me - whg that goes with it. Forks? Seat post? I probably want the front mech and the zero skewers. Cheers J

Re: Beautiful frame ... but I don't need an Ozone museum. 3rd in line for the stem. Registering interest for other parts you are divesting J Got any forks - non sus?

Thanks very much for checking. I am going to try pinning it, then just forgetting about them and using them for their primary function!

Re: Yes. I think that's my next move but that's very fiddly for a klutz like me!

I have lost the crucial adjuster barrels from a pair of xtr shifters I bought from here recently. I must have been overzealous clearing out old packaging when I moved house. I attach photos of what I do have. Any help appreciated. Cheers!

I am bumping this to see if anyone can help me out so that I can get the xt windows working again. If anyone has a dead pair of these for other reasons and would be willing to part with the nylon nipple I need I would be exceedingly grateful.
