Scott Superlite 1991
- Thread starter juice
- Start date
@ skolioza: When i look at your 1991 Boulder it comes to mind that i was driven by the same rider like my Superlite. Judging by the condition of the laquer. 
Maybe you can answer this question: Who made the Scott forks? They do look a lot like Spinner forks but i guess you could tell for sure.

Today i've serviced the front hub. That was easy. To put it back together without any play was not. :roll:
After that i cleaned some old grimey chain ring screws
and i removed the Marin decals from the Spinner fork.
The fork looks superbe but during the work i thought i am destroying some nice retro stuff there. Happy with the result but not to proud of what i've done.
Keeping in mind that i own two Marins maybe you can understand this cleavage.

Little progress today. I serviced the RH-M737 rear hub. This time i did better than with the front.
I also cleaned the original Shimano HG chain that came with this bike and even i like to clean things i can tell you it is not worth doing such a grimey thing. Now the chain is clean but my man cave looks like..well actually like a man cave.

Eventually i got a matching crown race. Yeah :!:
So i could install and set up the old and now again complete headset.
This headset is using bearing retainers. On the top everything was fine with that. On the bottom i checked the orientation of the retainer 2 times but it just didn't fit. So i replaced the retainer ball bearing with loose balls and that did the trick. Greased everything et voilà.
I also attached all cables today and set up both brakes. I had a matching pair of Shimano brake cable hangers but with the rear one the brake cable kept slipping no matter what i did to it so i had to replace that it with a different and working one.
