Anyone in Belfast - Anniversay Clockwork

Hi guys,
Bit of a strange introduction, but I was browsing the site thinking of my heady past mountainbiking, when I found said clockwork. I used to have one, about 96 if my mind works, and destroyed it into the back of a Volvo! After twenty minutes debate, I had to have it! So £140 later, I'm the proud owner! Currently changing tyres for something more appropriate, but sooooo pleased! So if any Irish guys see a tired man on this lovely machine, give me a shout, I've been away too long!

Thats a good buy.
Someone in NI should do the decent thing and set up a Norn Iron branch. There must be quite a few of us lucky enough to live in the greenest corner of these Islands.

Ah-ye bugger!that was only a mile away... I offered him £110 and he said he'd take it if the other guy (you) didnt want it....glad it went to a proper retrobiker anyway Bargain!

Aye we sem to get a good few bargains over here, I recall my atx downhill with boxxers and early hope discs for £400 all in! However the clockwork is a keeper, with a set of rc35s soon...... We should have a norn ireland branch, ironic we have some of the best terrain, and some of the best bargains on our wee isle!
Yep, well pleased, first impressions have revealed a few fixes needed- pace fork, just to raise the head buy a fraction, and for a little damping. Front and rear mech being upgraded to period xt, and need to find a front mech rapid fire shifter, as the one on the bike has eaten itself, currently restricted to the middle ring! Wanted to ask opinions tho..... paint job has a good few chips, and I'm thinking of running it as is, gives the frame an aged, slightly hardcore look, which I think suits it. Good or bad idea?
