No evidence of genius though. Anybody can do catalogue. Even me.

Looking forward to the finished article!

For someone so in tune with THM and his thought process’s and able to speak his unique language your build is positively main stream and top draw at the same time - have a split personality or a secret ultra ego ?

Looking forward to more updates

Cheers RS.......I think.

I've not got many rules and I do like to change my mind, but with this bike stuff that’s as rare as hens teeth will be methodically and faithfully restored (the frame & these bar ends for example) other stuff….well you’ll see

Patience, me old fruit & nut! There are some parts that are suspiciously absent from the thread……..

As Mr. Leonardo Acropolis said just before painting The baby eating Bishop of Bath & Wells… “No! I am … a genius!

Thought I'd have a go at the re-drawing the stickers for the VENHILL 'VENOM' bar ends/horns

The white patch will be clear, and yes they do look odley spaced, but I've measured and measured and this is my best guess from the surviving bits from the originals.

You’ve really applied yourself to this task ..... have a gold star !


Regarding the spacing - I’m guessing the split after VEN is a subtle nod to Venhill themselves.


On a side note who are Vanhill engineering of Dorking - LOL

Adjustments made, probably not 100% correct, but the best I can do unless this atracts some further reference.

Afternoon all, I've posted in MTB Wanted viewtopic.php?f=3&t=391213

But just incase some of you don't read every single new post (they do seem to come in at a rate of knots)
I thought I'd post the following here as well;

Looking for some better Shimano chainrings for a 1990 Deore XT FC-M730 I picked up recently, specifically an SG C-46 and an SG C-36.
Part worn or with scratches are fine, just want a full set of gnashers! :mrgreen:
Ps, would anything else fit? :?
