Re: Voodoo retro frame with disc tab added £5! Charity sale PMs sent....

Re: Hi. If you still have this and end up re-considering posting, I'd be very interested. Darren

It would seem as though my 390mm forks could be a bit short and would therefore explain why it feels a tad nervous. Out of interest, I managed to calculate the angles (via photos and AutoCAD) and they worked out at roughly 73degrees for both head and seat tubes. Whether that's right or not, I...

Yes, I know it's a bit of a thread resurection. :) Can any other Ballistic owners tell me what length fork they're using? Not sure whether they're suspension corrected frames at all. Thanks Darren

Thanks for the advice. I don't currently have the budget in place, so sitting on my hands and looking in the classifieds and eBay was always the initial step. If anyone else has any thoughts, I'd greatly appreciate them. Darren

I'm looking at doing some road cycling next year, just to get me out and about more than anything else. I don't have a road bike, I know very little about them, and I really don't like the look of the modern ones which seem to be covered in masses of graphics. I therefore humbly ask for the...

Thanks for the replies. I've heard Trestan are pretty good, so I'll give them shout. Any details of the one in Porchester?

Hi Could anyone recommend a cheap powder coaters in or around the Southampton area? I could look some up in the Yellow Pages or just Google it, but thought I'd ask if anyone has had good experiences with a particular company.

After a rigid fork of decent quality and reasonably light weight (less than 1kg) with a 185mm long 1 1/8" threaded steerer. Condition of paint isn't a concern as I'll be re-painting it anyway (unless it's in really good condition). If interested, I have a fork with a 160mm threaded steerer that...

Thanks chaps. There's no markings on the drop outs at all, and the markings on the steering are quite faint. I can make out: AKISb (i think it's a K) 996 07 F CR-MO @WD Pro. I've read your very excellent Marin build and would like your opinion on the Spinner forks you have. Thanks for...

These forks came off a Merlin (Lancashire mail order place) Team Prestige SE bike from the mid 90's. I was planning on fitting them to another frame as the original was stolen some years ago. Unfortuantely, the steerer is to short, so that put a stop to that idea. So, I need another set, but...

PM sent regarding post.

I've also got one of these frames, although the paint is pretty tatty. Funnily enough, and before I read this thread, I measured the ID of my seat post with a vernier. 27.0mm.

Whether you agree or not on the choice of colour, you certainly can't deny that it's a good looking finish. Well done that man.

Damn you. I was all decided on painting my soon to be delivered Clockwork in the traditional white and orange, and I see this. Damn you. :wink: Darren

Makes perfecr sense to me. :D Apologies for the multiple requests. It looked like the message wasn't being submitted, so tried a few times. :oops: Darren

Looking for the above in roughly a 16-17". Any make, and so long as there's no cracks etc, I'd be interested. I have deep pockets and short arms, so it's more a complete restoration I'm after, rather than the finished article. Hope someone out there can help. Darren

This is a first for me. Joining a forum and having something useful to contribute with my first post. I was after a Prestige sticker for my frame re-spray (sadly stolen before I had a chance to use it) and contacted Tange, who supplied me with one. So, here are some web-sites that could be...

Hi all. I've been looking through this site for sometime now, after stumbling across it a while back, so thought I'd better join up. I got my first MTB way back in the early ninties, a rather large Trek 830. I can't remember to much about it other than it was large. Did I mention that it was...
