Incoming Saracen Estay 92 Kili Flyer Finished?

[The History Man]

Well. Have just bought what to mtb evolution is the equivalent in natural selection terms of a panda.

It will get my usual style of build. Deadline is as always yesterday. OCD satisfied once again. For now. Maybe.

Watch this space. Pic from sale thread. Yet to arrive. Yet to be christened. Why do i like it?

Just got home for my tea to find this!

Questions. Should the front mech cable guide wheel rotate? Is there any reason I can't use a top pull mech instead?

I am off to the shed after tea.

It was all going so well............

Until the front cantis..

They won't clear the fork brace. Both sides. Pic illustrates cable bolt.

Tried a pair of xt v with the same problem.

Stumped. Only solution is different forks?

What would I be looking for?

Jitensha has a sari segmented fork for sale at the mo, which is almost spot on for this

that looks like a Marzocchi brace, the Manitou braces were thinner. (assuming it's the canti arm catching on the brace.)
