In my experience the Ritchey rims are not the strongest (mine are Comps, Experts are indeed single wall). Araya RM 20 however- I have a pair which is in use since 1988 without problems. Purely anecdotal of course and up to you if they are worth the price difference.

Apparantly they came filled with Shell Naturelle HFE 15. The manual specifically says to not use brake fluid. In my opinion that makes them ok for use with mineral oil.

Seals of the 737-not sure if they fit. 730/732 was what I was thinking. You can also put up a wanted ad, I´m sure lots of knackerd hubs are around.

If the cone is ok I wouldn´t bother removing it. Aditionally: Replacement cones are pretty bad quality in my experience. Regarding seals: I think the M900 has the same seals as XT or Deore from this period.

Are you sure? It looks cracked around every block of thread.

That´s a shame. My idea would be to heat up the dropout with a blowtorch and bend it back. But don´t take my word for it, IMHO this is something for a professional like @danson67 or @August Bicycles.

Usually it´s the external diameter of the fork steerer which is stated when looking for a stem. A "1 inch stem" has 22.2mm quill, "1 1/8 inch stem" has 25.4mm quill. As far as I know Bullmoose stem/bar combos were only available in 1" BITD, so 22.2mm quill (or sometimes 21.1mm/ old BMX...

The Judy looks too long in my eyes, I suspect that the Ventanas at the time came with a 5-6cm travel suspension fork Ventana only sold framesets, so there was no stock fork at all. Look at this one in an MBA test from Oct 1993: Edit: @bikeworkshop was also right: "The Ventana had a relaxed 70...

I think when suspension corrected frames became the norm, the industry already moved on to 1 1/8". So finding a 1" suspension corrected fork (threadless or not), is going to be challenging. The only one I can think of is the Fat Chance BOI, and at this point you might as well have a custom fork...

No car bodyshops in your area to do a paint match? I would think finding the right colour is easier than doing the actual repair, especially if the damage is in an area where 2 colours are fading into each other as you can see here with Canuckbikers Attitude.

Yep, middle class bike, but pretty solid condition from the looks of it. No need for a different wheelset IMHO if the rims are not worn down. Give the hubs a service (fresh grease), check the spoke tension and off you go! Front wheel has a bent spoke though, you may want to change that.

They should be screen (on flat surfaces) or tampon prints. Tires logos can also be vulcanized (prepared pieces of rubber with the logo on them). Unfortunately all techniques for high volume, so much to expensive for reproductions except you already have a business that provides these services. I...

Didn´t even notice it´s just 8(9) bikes. Just goes to show what an anorak I am focusing on the "aluminium lugs" of the C-26 🤪

It´s nice they do such vids to show the bikes to a broader audience, so I can look over the few detail errors. But Mr Dodd is sorely missing. Reading text and showing pics- I don´t feel the enthusiasm. As to the line up- Is the GT LTS so desirable? I think a true 80´s entry like an early...

4.5 grand bid is already in 😳

Obviously liking the bike, but your touch up hacks are inspiring, especially the chainstay vinyl. At least in the pics it´s not really noticable that it´s coloured vinyl.

Ha easy one this month, clearly it´s the restored Roberts for me - oh wait a minute a Dynatech with Campa? Yeah that´s it... wow that DB, I´d like to throw a leg over that one for sure. But man that SBike is the retro future we were promised. Surely nothing can top th.. WTH a Landshark softail...

Already sweet entries this month, I may as well add another Japanese made beauty. Dr Dremel´s 1988 Bridgestone MB-1 Comp No build thread unfortunately, as this is largely original. So here´s a little backgound: This was my father´s bike which he gave me when he stopped cycling some years ago...

I´m sure some may have preferences, but every bearing grease for low speed applications should be ok. I use the automotive stuff from Ate I have here, the Shimano grease, if not 30 yrs old, is also fine. If I would know I´d had to do a lot of rides in the rain (commuting for instance) I´d...

Well on a Pace I would say Bullseye, but the clamping area looks like pressed steel. There were similar (BMX) cranks from other brands. They probably would be easier to identify from the drive side?
