Can I suggest soaking some kitchen roll in rust remover, wrapping the kitchen roll around the rails, then covering in cling film and leaving overnight? Crowbarring saddle rails out seems an extreme solution to an otherwise easily manageable issue. Turbos always weighed a ton - where were you...

It is a sad reality that mountain bike brands seem to care comparatively little about and provide little support for their heritage or legacy bikes.

Hey. Welcome to RB.. erm.. I don’t know how to tell you this, but that 15 year old frame is.. well.. it’s about 10 years too young for most inhabitants around here to be able to advise you on. Advising you on recreating early bonded steel / carbon framesets from the original, period correct...
