Never knew Suntour ever did clipless pedals, where they part of Superbe pro groupset? Any pics about? :)

Cheers Built it for my lad - all I need to do now is get him off his Xbox! :roll: I'm not sure how compatable the Suntour rear mech is with the RSX shifters and Shimano 7 speed cassette, it's barely adequate and I was considering seeing if i could get a RSX mech off ebay. I'd like to keep the...

:D

I know what you mean about the chain, a bling step too far maybe but I don't think it'll stay 'painted' red for long Tyres look a bit pink but that's the release powder and are more red when it's cleaned off It'll not stay like this for long, once the new stem arrives (one of the clamping...

Cheers! I'm made up with the look just had it on the scales - 25.2lb - not bad for a budget build and a £55 frame, I think the Eldridge was closer to 24lb but I'm happy with that :)

Cheers Olly here's what I started with... If i can get the seat post out maybe I'll use the frame for a single speed one day :)

Frame: Handsome Dog XC01 22" Fork: Kona Project 2 Headset:Crank Bros Iodine SL Stem: PLanet X Superlight Team 3D Forged Stem 120 mm (on its way) Handlebar: FSA XC270 Grips: Club Roost Topcap: Crank Bros Brakes and Levers: Shimano DX Shifters: Shimano STX-RC 8 speed Front Derailleur...

It Started as a rebuild but became a transformation into a Handsome Dog XC01... It should have been a rebuild of my Eldridge Grade with a white powder coated frame and all the bits back on off the Marin but then the seat post was properly stuck and I plumped for a Handsome Dog XC01 frame...

I know it's been a while but I finished the build of my XC01 today... :D sorry for the hijack - i'll sort a new thread out :) done: viewtopic.php?f=21&t=257878&p=1930950#p1930950 :)

Re: advice please My XC01 frame arrived yesterday - Cyfa if you're still around, how did you get the decals off? BTW this thread convinced me to go for the Handsome dog - I'll post the picks as i find time to build it :)

er... maybe.... just waiting on some final bit before maiden voyage :)

Well the right hand shifter bust today - one of the springs inside looks to have broke Q1 - where can I get spares? / who does repairs? Q2 - what would I need to convert to 10 (probable) or 11 (possible) speed? Don't want to spend too much but would like to keep centaur (Datona) group...

waiting for shifters, stickers, chain ring bolts and chain... :D [/img]

more satin than gloss but what do you want for £40! :D I asked for BRG and think I got Borstal Railings Green :lol: I think it'll look cool as satin finish with shiny bits :D

My mate still had the original crank tool - 16mm! I remove the Zeus BB and tried a Shimano cartridge in there but the drive side just fell in, tried the Zeus again and it fitted. I cleaned it up and it's stamped with an 'O' for oversize I presume. So the Zeus chainset will be used in the build...

some more 'before' shots... hopefully drop it off at the powder coaters tomorrow :)

61cm Cheers for the comments - I'm well chuffed with it :D resto finally came about 'cos my Saab needed some paint hence bike is now Saab BC279 Steel Grey! Mate at work had the Charge saddle going spare so the Grey/Red colour scheme was born Reused all parts with the exception of...

Hadn't thought of Martini untill you posted the Kona thread but my other fav colour scheme would be Porsche Sepia brown with cream and tan accessories and skin walls :)
