Novice project Specialized Rockhopper

Done an inventory just now and apart from the front mech, star nut bolt, crank bolts and seatpost clamp I have everything.
Any recommendation on online shops?
Or should I just look here and Ebay?
 
Looking good Jimmy. I say go with the Mavics and treat it to some new spangly hoops in the future, or new rims on the existing hubs if they are ok. Quality wheels and tyres can make a massive difference to how a bike rides and is definitely worth spending money on. Same goes for forks.

Also; if you are going to have footwear in your pics then it has to be Crocs ;)

🤣 I wonder if he rides with off road flip flops ?

Here for almost everything

online - SJS Cycles and SPA Cycles for things that aren't vintage/retro

Ebay always worth a shot and lots of shops based on there too. My tip if you are after particular retro/vintage things is just be patient and what you want will turn up, one day. You can always ask here about buy it now prices or what to offer :)
 
Ok, I had an hour yesterday and fitted the cables.
I think I've gone a bit long, but please let me know what you think, especially if I need to change the way the cables cross each other at the front.
Thanks
