Cheers ernie, ill have to pass as i need 350mm

ernie how long is the 27.0 post with good decals? Thanks

Ive got a couple of 240v lead lamps which ill chuck in the van. Bringing 50m extention lead with four plugs and breakers as well. I may also be there thursday if all my bike bits arrive in time. I was going to put it all together thursday at home but i may as well do that with a beer surrounded...

Ive had doggy knees since i was a kid. Had a couple of ops to remove cartilidge and a motorbike crash when i was 15 meant another op. Since then ive had an mri scan and hospital visits due to knee pain. Thankfullly its running that really affects me and not cycling. However when i first got...

Right ive got the frame in at the powder coaters. Gone for bright orange. Need to call them tomorrow to see when it will be ready. Whilst removing the headset on friday i noticed that the top of the head tube has been subjected to bad headset removal/installation at some point :( Its not too...

Got my frame back today :D I was expecting it saturday. Its now going to the powder coaters first thing. :) JR Finishing located in Horsham. Found them recomended on here so hopfully good. Yeh not a fan of croyden and seeing trams flying around is just weird. Still thinking orange but will...

No not white, although i do like them in white i think theres enough already :wink: Im thinking bright orange but as the time gets closer im not sure. Open to sugestions. Thanks Anthony, thats some great info. I didnt know that they are that rare in the uk. Sounds like ive got quite a...

Hi cyfa is this still available. If so could you send me a pic. Thanks

Sorry guys going to have to give this one a miss due to bike issues :( Hope to see you at Mayhem. Have a great ride. Smokes

Yeh i thought the same. There old fishing scales so not that accruate. Id think just over 4 would be right.

Due to bending my 92 pine mountain i found myself needing a new frame with only 3 weeks to mayhem. While looking for a marin team issue i came across this. Ive not been retro biking long and while ive enjoyed the pine mountain, which i owned bitd i did start wanting an explosif. Finding a hot in...

Cheers SP. Ill start a thread in the readers bikes tomorrow annd post some pics. Not long till mayhem :D

Just had a proper measure. My marin has a 100mm headtube, ive got 25mm of spacers under my stem. The stem is also 5mm above steerer which is as far as i want to go. I make my headset about 27-28mm. I think this means that ill need a 20mm headset if the hot has a 130mm headtube. :? Still feel...

Could be the one. Its from a guy who i saw at the ripley jumble a couple of weeks ago. I think he's jumble regular. To be honest i dont know much about retro bikes so am hoping that if the frame no starts kh that means its a hot? He seems a genuine guy. There should be an "angency scum...

Thats great if the forks fit. I have a 100mm 15deg rise thomson stem so that should fit well. Ive als got carbon low rise bars. Its currently black but im going to get a disc tab brazed on canti mounts removed then bright orange (ford rs asbo) powder coat :) Sorry I know that wont please...

Lets hope theres a good turn out at the MM flea market :lol:

BB is 113mm i think. Its a world class ti from around mid 90s. you can move it left or right abit to adjust chain line. I think ive got a royce ti one in a box of bits will measure that. Didnt think of the forks though. Might have to put the kids on rations :wink:

Hi Ted Seat post is a use so a shim shouldnt be hard to find 200mm steerer may mean new forks :( or one of those really low headsets crank bros i think. top pull bottom swing :? Hmmm this could get costly :shock: There might be some last minute building at mayhem.

I didnt think the hot was in the cats :oops: . What about the steerer lenght and bb width? I wasnt going to mention discs :o Thanks SP :wink: Not sure ill have time now will phone roberts in the morning. Looks like i might pick it up first thing tomorrow :D Seller said it has kh###...

After a run of retro riding bad luck, the last of which resulted in a trashed front wheel and bent frame at the weekend ive finally got something to smile about. Ive just secured a 18" 98 kona hot :D The only problem ive got now is getting it ready for Mayhem. So what i need now is some help...
