Re:

Just found this thread, what a great build. If it wasn't for the rim brakes it would pass for a modern bike. Best of all you ride it. Gotta like retromod. BTW what size are the tops?

thanks, i think the zaskars have just aged well. Most of the parts are '93-'98 era but it does wear the modern parts nicely. I think some newer control parts make all the difference...

The short sleeve is a medium and the long sleeve is a large. I can get measurements if needed?

Thanks, but I can only fit into XXL. Looking forward to your next upgrades though.

Re:

i saw you mention you restored those gorgeous superfly forks yourself, how long did they take and have you got any resto pictures? i bought a pair of x-fly in about 2000/1, i think they was the later version of yours with a disk mount. im hoping i still have them in the loft, because seeing yours has made me want to get them rebuilt

hi david

they took nearly 3 months with the help and advice from some of the guys on here, i only intended to tidy them up but it turned into a full rebuild lol. They cost me £20 so as you could imagine they were in terrible condition and corroded all over,
you can find the restoration with pictures here -> viewtopic.php?f=1&t=324080

yeah they're quite simple, mine especially because they got no rebound, lockout etc. but they became quite a challenge due to them being quite scruffy, i think I underestimated how much work they would take
