@wadsy - does the black Cane Creek 1 inch ahead have a crown race?

That looks fab as it is - appreciate it's going to see some paint, but in clearcoat it would really play to the "prototype" vibe. As a former 550 rider, I love this thread!

@iveto1983 no worries, thanks for checking @baj let me know what your plans are, I’m gathering parts so this one isn’t hugely urgent

Hope Ti BB in absolutely beautiful condition. 62mm bearing/shell/bearing width - so with end caps should be a 68mm BB shell. 113mm axle Black cups are pretty much perfect for 25+ years old and this thing looks box fresh and spins forever. £60 posted (U.K.)

It's quite a cool thing, but very niche. You might be better off posting on BMW forums as there will be a fanboy/girl somewhere with deep pockets that might just have to have this in their collection. They won't treasure it as a source of nice XTR kit, but it could compliment a car cave...

That would be fantastic!

@Carge is that your Orange on P1? If so, what is the stem? I'm looking at doing the same

Anyone got an S/S kit lying around? Looking for the single rear ring, cassette spacers (Shimano) and a tensioner. Would need to be black if possible, and cheap for a ratty build.

I'd be the same, methodically taking them to pieces, cleaning them up and building a frame, then cladding with them - which is absolutely the antithesis of what is being achieved here. Really interested to watch how this develops, it looks like a fab project. Will the coke can fish scales...

@garyoneill - do you still have this?

Ah crap, thats pretty local to me... but maybe a bit small However the lack of the matching forks (Gumbo?) is reason enough to pass - plus the bin fodder (but likely perfectly serviceable) kit that is hanging all over it. I always thought "Foo-Kay"

Please can you post the size of the BB. Has it sold? Dont want to sound like a Karen but I’ve asked three times.

Looks like a 98 clockwork. Silver P7 is most likely 1 1/8

808 would be August 98, and I think there was an orange/white clockwork that year. Got any pics?

I might have some Stix... will have a rummage over the weekend.

Thanks, I'll be putting a BMX short stem on this one - it's going to be a fun build!

Cooks (175mm) are already gone to an RB'er as they're too good for what I have planned (ratty build), and the Onza brakes have too as I have other plans in that respect. A few other bits will probably be sold to fund the rest of the plan (stem, bars, post) The front mech is indeed STX, but...

Up

I have acquired a frame complete with a Hope BB - which is one of the ones with six holes around the flat face rather than the splines of a shimano. I believe that there is a specific tool to remove it? If so does anyone have one they could post to me and I could then return - I’d pay postage...

Pop some pics up and I’m sure the RB hive mind will be along to help
