Re: For anyone is interested, I went with Gorilla glue, after sanding both surface, then firmly strapped it down with multiple wraps of non-stretchy tape, after. Seems to be holding up fine (remembering the cable pulls against its own casing, rather than pulls the guide against the frame).

Hi, Pulled the Sugar 2 out for a pre-season clean and service, and the rear gear cable guide fell off. I believe the rear triangle is carbon, and these are glued on (i wouldnt dare use a jubilee clip or similar on the tubes). Can anyone tell me what glue I can use to replace the cable guide?

aah... you've just made me shed a tear of reminiscence when you linked to that old GT Catalogue - I can remember drooling over the STS for hours! :oops: I always thought it was a 96 from the MTBR.com "Everything LTS" thread, where some US guys dated it. I do know that on Bikepedia the 97...

Bought this frame from here about 5 years ago... been sat in mum's shed ever since as I moved abroad. Finally pulled all the parts from my old steel Avalanche and ported them over. Not a pristine build, a bit budget and and mid range components (note taped up saddle :). Crappy phone pics...

sorry, the thumbie has gone. i'm out iof the UK now, so can't do anyhting else till i'm next back, which could be a year...

My old Civic Aeodeck VTi estate was quite fun. A short ratio Torsen LSD gearbox from the ITR, well set up suspension (springs and dampers, upgraded rear ARB), and properly sorted engine breathing gave me a car that would rolling start pull neck and neck with a std Scooby (obviously not off...

boma is shortened written version of one of my oldest nicknames "bomber", derived from the ability to kick a football rather hard in a 1950s stylee - shot's at goal would get cries of "it's Bomber Bufton!" (surname). ..23 because... well if you don't know how important 23 is... used for...

thanks for the help with this :) to add: mine does indeed have the groove tube, but it only houses one cable run, the other two run go under the down tube. i may also be wrong on what i remember to be the original colour, as my memory isn't famed for it's sharpness, and it's a few...

Re: Would you make any changes, opinions please? I've got a 1" black madison aheadset i bought by accident, opened but never fitted, in black, still in package. Cartridge bearings and hardened steel cups (and so they should be!) £10 posted Also a metal finish hollow chromoly gt stem that...

It's definitely steel, and definitely has no u brake mount, unless one's been removed or remounted?? Had a look round the bottom bracket and can't see any frame number at all. There's what looks like the start of vague impression that could be a serial or postcode, but that runs across the...

Hi all Can those who've already bought items please confirm whether they've received them. It appears the suntour mech has gone walkies in the post, and I wanted to make sure other items have arrived. Thanks Dom

woot woot! always wanted one of these, classic frame. gonna store it and build in a few months when the funds from my new job start flowing 8)

wouldn't have a clue, is the year usually part of it, or is there a reference table somewhere? under a thick coating of hammerite i'm not sure if it'll even be readable tbh, not to mention the previous layers of paint already in there :lol: will check tomorrow. had first serious ride...

PM sent

really? been trying to work out exactly how old it is. hmmm I was going on when i thought i'd bought it, but thinking again that may be quite wrong... I actually bought it when i was 20/21, now i think about it, not earlier, which would put buying it at around 1994, so I think you are...

Finally got round to putting together the old steel Avalanche frame that's been hanging up in the shed for umpteen years. When i originally bought it many years back, it was a dark purple metallic (maybe with sligth splatter effect?), and kitted out with a mixture of Suntour Pro and XC SE, so...
