Hi Guys,
Just joined the forum which looks fantastic thanks, I'm just about to refurbish mine and the Wife's Giant 90s Cadex bikes and maybe also my Vitus 979/Campag Super Record road bike at a later date.
I'm hoping someone here would be kind enough to help me identify suitable parts to maintain and maybe update them if worth it and point me in the right direction for part suppliers (online?) as I'm well out of touch now and most local bike shops have shut down round here disappointingly.
I'm from a cycling family and rode cyclocross from an early age with Brook CC then Norton Wheelers from Sheffield, but packed it in when I discovered Motocross and Road Motorcycles, drinking and Girls when I was in my early teens!!!! My friend was the parts distributor for Giant, so got the bikes new for a decent price in the 90s and have some brand new spares like suspension forks. Not planning a racing comeback or anything silly (54 now) we just want to use the MTBs for a bit of recreational cycling together and build up to completing the Hadrians Wall Cycle Route 72 hopefully later this summer.
Anyway, thanks for accepting me on the forum and for taking the time to read this, here are a couple of photos of the CFM-1 and CFM-3 bikes we have. Will make another post with more details and photos
later if that ok?
Cheers, Pete
