watching this one as I have 2 x similar projects on the back burner and wondering which way to go with them or just to sell the framesets ( I dont like suspension forks but have bought 2 sets pace and rock shox) will try to get some inspiration form this one as it develops. Great work on the polishing and cleaning - its worth it in the end

Thank you, do you have a build thread for yours?

I just need time to sort the travel upgrade on the fork and then this shouldn’t take long to build as everything is there I believe

About time I worked sone more on this bike build.

The original RockShox FSX brace has a small crack on the drive side where the Allen bolt goes, a known issue. It was only small and I thought I’d live with it but I needed the missing hanger and when I saw one of the US repro made ones in the UK for sale much cheaper than the new price, I grabbed it.

You can see they added a bit more meat to stop this happening again on the repros.

Now just need to add the NOS internals to up the travel and the forks ready

Travel upgraded to 3”. Out with the old, in with the new. Just need some longer (Judy DH or SL long travel) dust boots now:
