Unfortunately the ones that came with the frame had been cut off and were unusable. Luckily I found some NOS ones in Australia after months of searching on line; here

If you want to remove yours, the safest way to do it is to tap the two pins through (into the top tube), which should then allow you to pull the guide out. You'll then need to remove the fork as that's the only way to get the six loose pins out.

One of the years best build threads IMO ...stunning.

Unfortunately, it's incurable! Just going to have to find something else to do now with my time now.... :facepalm: .

Did around 30miles yesterday and she ran really well.

Things to change? Maybe I think I should have gone for a 48/38/26 combo up front as I think I've geared it a bit low and I haven't used platforms for 20+ years, so they'll be going. I've already made a start on toe clips and straps courtesy of Klasse but I need to find a pair of XC Compe pedals at the right price.

However, the biggest issue is the length of the Bullseye spindle as I can't use the granny ring and get a safe clearance on the chainstay. I've measured up and I think I'm going to need to lengthen it by 13mm; I'll keep you posted on its modification.

They've been along time coming but I finally put these on last night; XC Comp pedals, Specialized Mountainclips, NOS straps and Tioga Hot Tips .
