Re: Re:

Nice polishing job, Belgom is your friend !

I used Autosol but may try and more fine compound as well.

One off thing is there is only one cable stop on the drive side seat stay for the rear mech cable with no sign of there ever having been a second one nearer the mech.

As per the below pic I'm going to have to use a long peice of cable outer which is annoying unless anyone has any ideas?

What's the diameter of the stay (not near mine to measure!)?

This would probably need to be shimmed but would it be so big as to be ridiculous?

Could be worth a go. Thank you for that

Re:

With it going to be such a nice build this, I would try find the top part of the rear stay with the right stops on it. All the team rts I have seen have had two stops on them.

Funnily enough I have a complete RTS-2 with rear alloy triangle including the correct stops, problem being its a lesser alloy I presume and already sold.

Wonder if I could find a local alloy welder to add one?

A few bits collected together for this build:



Need to decide which bars, the Matrix Easton Taperlite is lovely and uncut but too short for this build I think so most likely to use the Syncros riser:

Rizers are a good decision. Its supposed to be a downhill bike after all!

Lovely Tim I have a real soft spot for the RTS - from memory it was the only (or one of the first in any case) bike to appear on adverts pictured from the non-drive side to show off the rocker suspension setup! Mag21s are the only choice for this IMO, so you've chosen well, and they are a beautiful set to say the least!

Nice parts set, full Syncros for me (seatpost, stem and bar), team spirit.
