Massive thanks to Fluffychicken who has had this in his garage waiting to be built ever since we picked it up three or four years ago.
It was in a bit of a state paint wise and it's forks were black.
This is it now after a full respray and new decals, thanks Gil.
Full dx groupset other than the...
Hi all,
Thinking of stripping my Rockhopper as the forks are shot.
If I do I'll be looking for a frame 19 or 20" to hang a nice DX groupo on.
Must be canti specific.
What's out there please?
Limited budget available.
Hi, I'm after a small ish frame and forks to build up for my daughter while I'm stuck at home.
Rolling chassis/full bike considered but I'm on a budget.
14/16" would be ideal.
I'm in East Yorkshire so unless local postage would be needed.
Many thanks.
Hi all, after a long fight with seized pedals on the chainset I got with a donor bike I have given up.
Looking for a square taper double preferably Shimano.
Anyone got anything reasonably priced please?
This is pretty much unchanged since I bought it off LGF last year, I'd love some more info about it if poss.
The forks aren't original and are Columbus I believe not 531.
Running 600/600 tricolour.
Just had this out for a spring polish and service.
It's exactly as I bought it last year other than the six speed freewheel I fitted in place of the original 5 speed.
I don't think the bars are original or the Suntour Cyclone 2 rear mech but other than tyres and pedals it's all original.
It...
Next project is this Fuji from the early 90s I believe, if anyone knows the exact year please comment.
The paint is just good enough to use with a few areas needing a touch up.
I've most of a 105 groupset to fit to it so hopefully it should build into a reasonable bike.
Yes it's the gas pipe 18-23 one lol.
Reliving my teens with this one that I spotted reasonably local and all original for £30 albeit with no wheels.
Under the years of muck it's in remarkably good condition and now it's polished it shines nicely.
I think I've sourced a set of suitable wheels...
The lighter nights are making me think it's time for a new build and a chance to use up some parts I've collected.
I'm looking for something about 60cm and I'd prefer not to have to paint it.
Budget isn't big.
Anyone got anything interesting?
It's been a long time since I've had a build on the go, I bought the frame and forks off Longy (thanks mate!) with the aim of building a winter bike up out of the remaining bits I have in the shed.
All I seem to be missing now is a set of cantis and a headset cable hanger.
