Can’t wait for the “premiere” :lol:

It would benefit from a light sanding, and will obviously get the inside edges chamfered with a fine file, but the light in that photo is exaggerating the reaming marks. It’s smooth enough in real life.

Re: I just had a ‘91 Stumpjumper JIS head tube reamed & faced in order to fit a 1” Chris King headset. Took 5 minutes and £15 at a LBS.

Re: Re: I'll PM you my email address.

Ah, that looks like they've been bead-blasted and re-anodised. Very cool colours nonetheless!

The caliper in your eBay link is an earlier model which has the logo machined, not lasered; the ones ishaw posted are later ‘Mono’ unibody calipers. I was referring to the lack of lasered logos on the master cylinder in the photo of the purple/blue brake.

I’ve had good luck with the ‘dual-compound’ red and black Koolstop pads on normal alloy rims; I have a spare brand new set you could have. I’ve since moved to Rigida CSS rims with a tungsten-carbide coating, and special pads. The tungsten braking surface doesn’t wear at all, certainly zero...

Can we have some more pics of the purple/blue Mono Minis please? They’re truly unique, likely made for a show bike or re-anodised by someone. Note lack of laser-etched Hope logos on the master cylinder. Mini lever blades are no longer available to buy new; best option would be to hunt down an...

Re: Another Kona Hei Hei **pre-build** Nah, looks spot-on with the blue accents. Although I’d be inclined to sack the rings off and go 1x...

Re: This is now getting new frame & fork and some needlessly bling bits. Had to admit to myself that the British Eagle is a tad too small... New-old-stock 1991 Stumpjumper Comp, Tange Prestige in a lovely matte pearl powder blue.

As per title, I'm after a Thomson seatpost in 27.0mm flavour. Any length will do. Many thanks!

Re: Another Kona Hei Hei **pre-build** I’ve always used a couple of sprays of isopropyl alcohol to get rubber/silicone grips like these on. You have to be quick, and get it right first time, but it has the bonus of evaporating very quickly and not leaving any residue, unlike soap etc which...

I've got a set of Pace RC31 carbon forks which have some chips on the magnesium dropouts that I'd like to touch up. I got in touch with Pace, who no longer have any details of paint spec on these. I found some exampled of re-painted RC31's online; has anyone had a colour match done? Thanks!

I've just stripped the threads on a one of a NOS set of 3DV skewers... :cry: Looking for another set, preferably ones with a steel serrated insert that bites into the dropouts, and a steel internal thread, but anything considered. Thanks in advance!

I have a good set of Mavic XC 717 Disc rims, 32H, Silver up for grabs if anyone needs.

Ooh, any chance of a pic?

Looks like the kind of bike my 7 year old daughter would draw after a heavy night on the Calpol...

Try Bike24, they had some last time I looked.

Which fork are you running?

What's the actual difference between these HS22s and HS33s of a similar vintage? Seriously considering these...
