My 86 MF men's Courier had cow horns "out of the box".... Lovely thread though.

Re: Various QR's, seat binder bolt/clamps, Ritchey grips, I have PM'd you back - but it's stuck in my outbox for some reason.

Re: Various QR's, seat binder bolt/clamps, Ritchey grips, Do you still have the Deore DX QRs? Would like to take them if still available. Should I pm you?

Re: Re: Yes, Shrewsbury too - Abbey Foregate/Monkmoor Rd area... so not far! Yes, I think you're right, I've not seen those fastbacks anywhere else... my Courier is lugged as well.

Re: That looks really nice.... Very clean! Edit: those fastback seat stays are unusual... my 86 Courier doesn't have them.

I'm a bit late to the party, but that looks simply stunning. Love the Mavic stuff.... Wonderful!

Thanks for the info ref the pedals. Gives me an option as I'm looking for something for my Courier.

Re: Lovely! looks brilliant. Can I ask what pedals you have used?

And managed to get hold of a NOS Epoch Mori headset. It looks unfathomably complex!

Ok so a little update. The frame/forks are back from Bournes in Birmingham - they did a good job in my opinion. They masked the threads and bosses/steerer tube etc (although I did check first) and turned it around in a couple of days. Would definitely use them again. Friendly as well. The colour...

Re: Re: Haha! Yes, your does look in similar state to mine! You've done an amazing job it has to be said - well done. If I can get halfway close then I'll be happy. I do like the blue you have used though - is that a RAL colour? I found someone else on here with mine...

Lovely Ridgeback! And thanks for the scan of the black one. You don't happen to have any info about the original spec of these do you? I admit that I haven't looked very hard as I have only just rescued this black Ridgeback from the leaves and bushes. I'm unsure why there doesn't seem to be...

Lovely! I have a similar one to do soon that has been neglected... it doesn't have those "bi-plane" forks (which may mean it is a slightly later incarnation) and has a Shimano 200GS triple on it in place of the original, but in other respects, it's very similar. It has the full Red S front and...

Re: Brilliant!! Thanks so much, this will definitely help. I will let you know the outcome of my attempts!

Re: Re: Small world, I'm in Shrewsbury too! Yes try them - they replied to my emails and seemed OK. £50 for shot blast/powder coat and they will mask threads/ steerer/brake bosses etc for no extra charge - I specifically asked about this and whether I needed to do anything myself. 2-3 day...

Yes some journey! Can't quite believe it is 6 years since I last posted... yikes. And OMG this forum is amazing - thanks so much for that tip about the original headset - I think I will go for it. At least I will know it ought to fit and will look correct. I remember them being a bit fiddly...

Ok, so I'm back...! This is a bit of a "holy thread revival", but three children later :shock:, I've now returned to the MF.... The frame/forks is going off to Bournes in Birmingham next week, and I have sourced some additional bits. The bike may be rideable before the end of the year.... just...

Just to let anyone know that's re-reading this, I used the 22mm copper pipe and cut 4 slits into one end about 4 inches long. Then splayed them out slightly and hey presto, job's a good'un! Worrks brilliantly. Thanks.

Love the subtle differences between years and models... I originally had Suntour XC Sport on it. I still have the XC Sport front mech, but the rear is long gone...
