Re: Overbury's Pioneer 1988 - now with paint and decals

Assuming it's a Deore c/set I think you'll want a 68/122.5

Hi retrobikeguy . where in the world did limeifercationerised that come from :shock: so the green is more limified then :LOL: but yes after seeing the colours clear coated i'm really liking your choice and i can imagine the bike looking a million dollars with the black components fitted so i'm rather keen now to seeing further updates on your progress ;) ..

Re-sprayed them old 4 finger levers with some smoothrite and they look great.

Overall, nice ride, spokes need tightening on front wheel, extra washer on rear cable arch to stop it slipping, oil on chain because it squeals like a pig, little bit of headset tightening, and a look into those pedal bearings.......Thats a list :?

Re: Overbury's Pioneer 1988 - Maiden ride

Just remember this is a slow technical terrain bicycle and not a rocket and you should really get to like it.
