Not been a breakers for a long time and moved out of Trafalgar Road to Peterboat Close. Still owned by Russ, the tall one with the dark hair.

They are lubed by the fork fluid so are normally fine as long as the fluid is clean, when it gets mucky with particles you get wear which accelerates.

Yep no bushes. You will need to measure the fork botton inner to make sure it is within tolerance, if it isn't but isn't ovalised when you get the stanchions rechromed ask Philpots to do them whatever measure over. Likely cheaper to get ABE legs if they do them, they are also chromed by philpots...

And don't forget new genuine bushes and seals when you rebuild the forks. I would also suggest fitting Genuine Honda Rebel gaiters (I have the part No. Somewhere), the forks will last forever. Don't bother with pattern gaiters, they haven't made them for years so even new ones perish very quickly.

Is there a seal under the taper bearing?

There's no need to change the loom if there are no problems. Like wise the Switchgear. GS750 iirc like most Suzukis until the mid to late 90s uses Sumitomo .110 connectors also known as 2.8mm connectors, these are commonly available in the UK from places like Vehicle wiring products who also...

Front brake light switches weren't required till about August 1984 in the UK, the Suzuki sliding switch of the time was a piece of crap. If the MC seals need doing it will likely have a rusted bore so just replace, new pattern MCs are cheap enough. Even a Delkavic could cause problems but you...

If its 12v, why not isolate it by running off a car battery to confirm if it is a mains hum or not?

I would suggest connecting the electrics back up and throwing in a fresh battery to check what works. Likely something like a Boyer ignition on it, if it doesn't work straight away just get a new one. Calipers are easy to sort. The brake pads have likely corroded into the calipers. Seals are...

My view is there isn't any money in selling new bikes. At one point Evans were selling Cannondales for less than other dealers were buying them. There is likely more profit in used bikes and used vintage parts with less cost, look at the business model of 'Brick Lane Bikes'. It also gives you...

Thats no problem. If it doesn't sell I'll take it.

Then I'd like it please, how much for the stem as well? I may not answer until tonight, on night shifts and about to go to bed.

If not sold I would like to register my interest as well please.

There was a second hand place in the arches on the left at the beginning of Walworth Road, could be there, I think that's where you mean? There is a Happy bikes on Camberwell Road that sells Scooters, could have been sold 2nd hand through there I suppise

I think you need to contact a chap called Angelo Esposito who used to to be the Manager of Cycle Logical on New Cavendish St W1 at the junction with Hanson St as the bike was likely originally sold through there. This shop was owned by Muddy Fox and from the Early 90's maybe late 80's as far as...

Evening all Are there any easily available 7 speed freehubs for fitment to XT/DX etc hubs or is it NOS only these days?

For me the end started in 92 when I got my first motorbike. I was still working in the trade seeing badly engineered bikes with badly engineered parts being sold to customers who inevitably had breakages and warranty claims. The expensive boutique parts were often low quality and didn't work...

I never knew Sid. When I was there you had Gary the Boss, Carol his sister who did the paperwork and was one of the heads of UK BMX, Clark his brother, Peter the assistant manager, Clive Gosling (Carols son) who now works for Cycling Sports Group, Stuart the high end salesman, Garys sons Daniel...

Thought I should update this. I came across a 14" Cannondale M something or other complete for £100 just 2 miles from my house. Quick chat with the seller on the phone and collected it the next day.

At least one BSB (Bell St Bikes) Blazer was made with front and rear hub brakes back in around 1986/7. It was made from 531 probably by Tom Board. It was owned by Nick who was the shop manager with Suntour gears, TA cranks and Sturmey Archer hubs. Last I knew of it, it had been loaned to Mark...
