I picked this up at the weekend. It’s an 18” and that’s the size I’d normally ride give or take an inch but I reckon I can make it fit. If I was going to Halfords to buy it I’d have probably chosen a 16” but beggars can’t be choosers. I’ll not be doing it to 96 catalog spec but parts of that era. Was actually listed without forks and wheels but when I got there he gave them to me and said they want refurbing. And they do..I saw the titanium hope hubs I just thought it was probably broke at the spoke holes and yes it was. I wasn’t bothered, I didn’t even know there were any wheels with it. 117 ceramic rims, front rim a bit worn but for the amount of time I’ll spend riding it I’m sure it’ll be fine, I’ll rebuild them onto something. The forks arrived in bits in a Tescos bag, I’ve not really looked properly but I’m guessing they want fresh elastomers or something. I know they look a little funky on the photo by the way, I just slipped the stantions in for a photo and didn’t want to ram them right down with bits still missing inside. First job will be to strip it to the frame and get a shine on it.
