Started a good tidy up today, boxed all my goodies and decided on what I'm going to do with the bikes. Pulled the Kona out and got what aprts I have for it together, ditto the Yo.

What you are doing with the bikes? Pray tell.....

Oh nothing too much, don't worry

I have a few things to do to the KHS, new stem/brake blocks/shark fin and need to give the wheels a wee true up.

The wicked is getting some front gears, and I've got the ritchey forks and Ti flexstem/bar combo. Deciding whether to fit it or not, the groovy stuff looks quite good.

The Salsa's brakes will be going for service next week.

The GT needs a clean and lube.

Need to decide if the Muddy Fox is to be broken down or not.

might as well keep the MF is a nice xc machine- keep it SS you need at least one in your life

 

[clockworkgazz]

well this is how it came with the other parts very neatly wrapped up. wasn't sure what i'd be getting.

Anyway it's either a 1999/2001 Jamis El Diablo
medium size
carbon main frame - alloy rear end.

had:
no name stem
amoeba handlebar
cane creek headset
thomson seatpost
sdg bel air saddle
hayes mag somat??
Real disc hubs
XT throughout

carbon frame seems in good nick.
shock bolts are rounded - so getting them sorted this weekend
rear mech hanger broken
brakes need bleeding and new pads
front wheel - broken nipples and bent spokes
sticking shock but as i haven't got it out i don't know whether it's broke or not.

not much to tidy up really

that is nice

if your looking for a matching black/yellow tyre then i have 1 , or if your looking to part with it then give me a shout

that is a cool looking bike, would be nice to try it once you have got it up and running mate. like the post too.

You should have a look around the nofuss events site at the 10 series. Some good vids up.
