Re: NOS Deore DX direct mount 31,8 BP PRICE DROP for LAST ON If you have still have a DX front mech for an Alpinestars I will take it. Thanks Alex

As title, I need a Shimano DX front mech (either NOS or VGC) suitable for an Alpinestars Cro-mega. Thanks.

Update: 5 February 2012 Thanks everyone, once again, for the positive feedback. I should also have conveyed my gratitude, in a MUCH earlier post, to Mrs AK74 for the use of her studio and for taking the photos. I've made a bit more progress on the component-gathering front, and the...

PM sent :)

#4 please if still available

When it went 'bang', James (In-Gear's shop manager) and I looked at each other, and then at the frame (expecting to see it in two pieces). When we realised, after a split-second, that it was the vice that had failed catastrophically, our reaction was indeed a mixture of laughter and incredulity...

I'm tracking down the last remaining parts for my Cro-Mega rebuild, and would like to find the following: - Shimano DX freewheel hub (FH-M650) ACQUIRED - Shimano DX seat post (29.4 x 300) - Answer ATAC stem (1 1/4, silver) - Alpinestars QR seat collar My preference is for NOS, or used...

Thanks, everyone, for the nice replies: it's much appreciated. In response to those who mentioned the forks, I'll be retaining the rigid originals (and will use the Manitou's on something else at a later date). And 'no', I didn't have to pay for the broken vice (I did offer to though).

Inspired by the content of this forum, I've embarked on a journey to rebuild (and restore) a 1991 Alpinestars Cro-Mega DX. In the beginning (early 2011), there was an eBay purchase of a frame/fork/stem/bar: The seller advertised it with a seized BB, so I knew in advance what I was...

I can't quite decide if the wheels and hubs will suit the build I'm working on. So as not to be an obstacle, I'll step back and let others have a chance to purchase them while I contemplate my options! Alex

Interested in the wheelset if they're still available.

Received a front mech (in a swap) and forks (which I purchased) from Staf. Very happy, and can definitely recommend him as a a valued seller/swapper. Cheers Alex

Eddie supplied me with some NOS DX rapidfire levers and a pair of cantilever brakes. Excellent communication, super-fast delivery and items exactly as described. Very happy to recommend him to others. 10/10

Feedback on AK74 (as a buyer, seller or swapper) can be found here.

To echo the sentiments of others, Tony promptly responded to my request for a set of Manitou forks and came up trumps with some immaculate Magnums at a good price. Less than 48 hours from our first contact, the forks were in my possession. Tony was a pleasure to deal with, and I wouldn't...

Hi Staf Yes, it's a 31.8 diameter. It's brand new in the packet with instructions etc, and completely immaculate. If we exchange addresses via PM I'll get it into the post to you on Monday morning. Cheers Alex

New item to add to the list: DX front derailleur (braze-on type, suitable for an Alpinestars Cro-Mega) I believe a 'modern' version is available (DX FD-M651), but to keep things 'authentic' I'm keen on an M650. I've a NOS band-on DX FD-M650 to trade if anyone's interested. Thanks to...

Thanks for getting in touch gents, I've PM'd you both. Alex
