Re:

So I recently aquired this one from Ebay viewtopic.php?f=4&t=369456 After a nice little road trip it's home, I'm midway (hopefully) through sorting some forks out for it but i'm not sure of it's age & therfore how to go about my build.
Any help is, as always, greatfully recieved

Re:

According to the listing, backed up by the frame number, it was made in 1994.

Mine is earlier and has Pace RC35 A/B forks which work well, although they are very unsophisticated by modern standards, plus finding a disc adaptor for them may well prove difficult.

I remember this one! looks good but looked mint how it was. That was the best powdercoat I have ever seen...and you dont have to polish the damn thing ever again!

Re:

Cheers Neil, I have the brake adaptor for pace forks & a set of rc35 a/b that I'm gonna rebuild for it. Now I know the year I can start working out what I'll build it with & sell what I won't need to put towards it.
Thanks again Neil, it's really helped!

Re:

Sounds like you are well on your way.

Don't forget to measure the seat tube before you buy a front mech, as the alloy tubes are a bigger diameter than the usual 28.6 mm found on most steel frames at the time.

I'm so glad that double disc example has ended up on here in safe hands.

My Ozone came with a disc only on the rear and looked un balanced,..so it went west (brakes not the bike)


Please start a build thread

Here are some pictures of my Ozone - I am afraid it is a classic garage queen, but I love having it up on the wall
