Got a BMX stem but would need some 22.2 bars to fit with it. Would need to put back on the longer 120mm forks though. I think drops and a gravel conversion will need to be tried first though.

Yeah when I can get around to digging out the bars, stem, mech brakes, gears, shifters... Did do a quick mock up a couple of months ago, but might go with a road 70mm stem instead of the higher swan neck stem and 110mm pictured which I tried out. Here are mock up pics before decals.

Thanks HH97 and liking your rig too. Proportionally, it looks spot on. You're right, as I have to say this one has turned out to be fun to ride and more so than I thought. I have a GT Talera 4130 steel from 1998 which also gives a nice ride. I think GT build frames that ride very well generally...

Latest pictures are of the bike with a 80mm rockshox dart, and a newer (no springs) saddle. This is my first full alloy frame (6061 triple butted). I'm really surprised by the comfortable ride especially at the rear, may be helped by the fat tyre, as I had always thought alloy frames were too...

Got this in a tatty state some 7 years ago and it was just hanging around waiting for me to get around to doing something with it. Gave the frame a repaint with some Poundland Matt black rattle can spray paint. After prepping the frame, gave it a few coats in the summer followed by Matt clear...

Fettling or adjusting rim brakes.

BITD, had a Raleigh Mustang which I used as my paper round mule and commuter to school. After three years of everyday use, the rear canti boss snapped off when applying the brakes. Think it may have been weakened when the bike fell over on to its side and the non profile cantis took the full...

Loving the attention to the detail on this build.

Wonderful! 😍

Thanks for sharing the information and that's interesting to know. I had a MK2 given to me in 1982 by my folks. Dad got it off a bloke he worked with and it was in bits. My dad sprayed the frame Vista orange (a MK1 ford escort Mexico colour) and the guards white. He welded a crossbar to the...

507 watchers. 😄

I bet wheelies were easy and fun! 😊

Well, seeing this makes me think, never neglect your chopper!

This is in VGC and no marks on the black lever. I don't think it has ever been used! Bought this in error as I was after a two finger version. £8 posted to your door.

These were from a Specialized Hotrock Junior bike. Rims are size 24" Alex - ACE 20, straight and with life in the rims still. Hubs not sure but may be specialized, spin well and not rough, with a screw on 7sp freewheel. This is not seized and I have taken it off for the photo. Not sure how much...

1988 Raleigh Mustang 19" my commute to school and paper round bike. Must have covered a few thousand miles in its life. Frame got replaced under Raleigh warranty in 1993 as the rear cantilever boss snapped off. Frame replacement was a blue 1989 Magnum. Still have it at the folks. 1989 Saracen...

You have a pm.

Lovely. I feel like I have just stepped back in time to 1991. :)

Just wondering if a power wash with a karcher will help remove the paint from the f&f?
