I'm transferring my 1999 Hope Hydro Pros from my old Boulder Starship to a On-One Scandal. I didn't realize it but the Starship has a non-standard mount with approx 42mm bolt spacing that currently fits a Hope number 1 caliper. The On-One has standard ISO 51mm bolt pattern and I need a number...

Useful information, thanks! @danson67. Not sure I would sell the Royce, plus if you were to use it it would probably need new cups (as well as bearings) as these got a little beat when the BB was removed from the frame. Even with the Royce BB tool that I had to order from the UK (as none of...

Yeah, it's not that difficult but it is time consuming. I replaced the seals last year, but they still leak. First, not by much then a little here and there and then a lot. Basically I am down to stripping the fork every couple of months if I ride it hard. It comes to the point of, yes I...

I've spoken to Tim about doing a total overhaul and even a spring conversion in the past, but as it would cost me a minimum of $250 to do this what with shipping across the Atlantic it wasn't really cost viable. Consider that I just picked up a new set of SIDs for only $480 and then I have a...

Does anyone happen to know the type and size of bearing used in a mid '90s Royce Ti bottom bracket? I finally removed mine from my Boulder as its bearings were shot (after 14 years!) and I updated the drivetrain of my bike with an e*thirteen crank and BB. I may have a use for the BB on one...

Sorry for the late post in this old thread - I haven't been here for a while. But the Boulder Starship in the magazine is mine. Still got it, I still ride it, and yes, I still get stopped by people on the trail to ask about it. Most comments are that it is "such a cool bike" and that the...

I finally decided to retire my 1999 Pace RC36 Evo IIs. The forks are in fairy decent condition as they weren't used between 2002 and 2008. However with no service support where I live I have given up trying to maintain them as where I live now (the rocky foothills of the Colorado Front...

I may try Tim's TIG rod approach, then thoroughly clean and use my air compressor to blow out any dust/dirt. I'm assuming that a 120psi compressor won't hurt the fork....?

Tim, The fork is not leaking air at the moment. I just had a new seal and it was the only seal not replaced on the fork so I was going to change it as a precaution. But from your description it sounds like I may do better not to touch it (for now). Damper quad seal was replaced last...

I had a pair of SC90s. Nice looking but crap forks. They required way too much servicing. I prefer my current pace RC36 EVO II with no decals. Super cool looking but perhaps a few years too new for you.

I had planned to get the spring conversion done by justbackdated once the fork stop holding air, but it still is and also I can't bare to be without my bike for the several months it would take to get the fork sent back to the UK for the modification. But, I'll see if he has any tips.

I'm still riding my Boulder Starship with a 1999 Pace RC36 EVO II. I'm now punishing the fork on the rocky slopes of the Front Range of Colorado. Amazingly the fork is still going strong, and is handling the terrain well since I changed the travel from 70mm back to 90mm. My issue is this...

A poster on our local Chicago board just posted this an original 1992 Klien Attitute up for sale. Though I would cross post it here as you guys like this stuff..

Bumping as this is still for sale. I'm about to post it on ebay after the weekend.

I still have an original Kona seat clamp for sale. I was about to post it on ebay. See my original post here. If its the right size and your interested let me know. I'll hold off on ebay for the weekend, as I'll be happier selling it to a Retrobiker. Kerry

It looks very nice in white. Make me think that I may change my Starship to white when I give it a new powercoat.

http://cambr.org/SMF/index.php?topic=5563.0 A user on our Chicago bikers forum just posted an almost new '95 Proflex 955. I would like this for the nostalgia of Owning a '95 Proflex back in the day, but I don't have the money.

I have an original Kona seat clamp that came of either a 1994 or 1995 Hei Hei. It has 31.8mm internal diameter and is in decent condition. It's been "lost" in the bottom of my toolbox for about 13 years and still has the original bolt as well. I'm open to offers. I'm in the US so...

Finished! To all intents and purposes I have finished the bike. Yes I still have to fix the issue with the leaking air chamber on the Pace forks but for now I have worked around this by changing the forks back to 90mm rather than 70mm. Also I will change the chain to a SRAM PC-890 at some...

You are right its a 31.8mm clamp.
