Re:

How much do you think shipping would be to Norfolk, UK?
I see that ebay seller wants £27 - thats BS.
I'm sure that the headset components could be laid flat and placed in a small jiffy bag - postage would be half.

Re:

Hi Jax
I will be going to the post office tomorrow to get a quote for another item that somebody has asked of me and I can tell you sometime tomorrow what the cost will be. I know it's pathetic that I can't tell you now but I have never sold anything on eBay or here (just been buying) or anywhere else.probably because I still don't know how to post pictures (also pathetic )
Anyway I'll let you know sometime tomorrow
Cheers
LF

Re:

Oh also forgot to mention that eBay seller gives you an option on how much you want to spend on shipping, I took the cheaper option that's what surprised me and it was in a good way

Re:

Posting photo's is done by uploading your pics to an image hosting website - I use Photobucket - then you copy and paste the IMG code to your forum post.

As for postage costs, you could try the US/Canada postal website, you should be able to get a quote including over seas postage.

I can wait tho' so no rush just being helpful

Re:

My lovely new 1 1/8" threaded headset is here - thanks to vinevo



Brakes are here


They even have the original XT pads -
But due to age cracks (and my own frickin' safety! !), will only use 'em for the initial completed build pics.

Re:

You do know you can't fit canti's front and rear right? Those are earlier than the zaskar as well

 

[therealjaxon]

Re:

I only want a pair for the front and, according to mombat, these are up to '91 brakes which match the frame date.

Even though mine is/was decaled up as a '92, I still prefer the look of these over the M734's which look cheap imo.

Re:

Sean's right - my '91 Zaskar came with the low profile XT front brake and the later XT U brake on the back - the one with the steel brace piece. M734 as I recall.

Your choice what you put on it though - so if you prefer the sticky out cantilever look then happy days :mrgreen:

Re:

Yeah, thats cool, always happy to take advice/opinions

I've also had an iffy decision to make on the BB which will probably be another bone of contention - fitting an M370 rather than the UN70 it was originally fitted with.

Besides, bike stuff is cheap. If after the build I change my mind and someone comes along with NOS M734's then I'll probably buy 'em
