Sounds like my 99 though. 🤣 I can promise you this, I didn't adhere to any of those rules. 25 years ago. Granted I've still got pants from then, but still a long time ago.

Has been for 20 odd years.

Bikes shall be bought as frame only, wheels shall not match, tyres will be 2.1 minimum and 2.4 max. Forks will be as longer travel as available and if needed you will run triple clamps to achieve this. Discs are permitted, if frame does not accommodate this a magura or v brake will be used on...

Got an old router laying about? Set it up on the edge of you WiFi range as a repeater.

Subway was sold under different brands too. Including outland, merlin, errr, there was about 10. Almost every mail order bike shop had them in at one point as frame only. For reference. One of either of these, (neither are for sale, sorry).

Can't see the problem myself. Sometimes you have a welder and a few minutes free. This was a raleigh kids bike.

also "very original condition". errrrr, no, no it's really not.

frames got to be a ton, fork about the same, reckon you'd get a bit for the shock and it's XT components too. 200 quid seems about right and I'd take it at that too. much like you, one day I will own a Girvin fork.

I might have a sheet of black HDPE I can cut them out of for you, but if feel like doing a bit of DIY, milk bottles are the same stuff.

got a picture and some dimensions?

he didn't do any thinking, his mechanic did. Mike Anderson. not sure it was much thought though, it had been done elsewhere. Still credit where it's due, he saw it and thought "yer, we can shave 0.00000002lbs there". :)

Not sure he needed the weight saving, maybe it was for when he forgot his dose.

nicely done. you have made a future (long time in the future) owner have headaches, that's got to be worth something. :) "Yes I know the bullseye cranks won't fit in a mavic BB, but I'm telling you that's what I have......".

yer, alright my bad. It's possibly the dirtiest that bike will ever get though sooooo. :)

you'd have thought that history would have taught car makers to stay in their lane, but nope. it's not a bike, it's a rich boys accessory to suction cup to his penis extension and point at at the local trails whilst proclaiming some bullshit or other. think I'll go back to bed, the world is...

that's a easy one, because air is harder to keep inside than oil. This means it costs more to make the fork and profit margins are smaller. from a technical point of view it also means more stiction as the seals have to be tighter.

the right knob goes and looks at the owners manual :) sorry, just joking, welcome to the forum. It's nothing more than a preload adjuster, adding a bit of compression to the spring.

decathlon sell one just like it.
