Definitely later unthreaded steerer by the decal but not sure about the suspension correction, I’m sure someone knows

I know, they are the worst aren’t they 🤣

Not expensive, maybe useful for someone https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/156131501722?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=K03EkmpYRjO&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=pe1IIC_xSci&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

My only Diamond Back; a ‘94 Dual Response Photo retrieved from BotM archive many years past 😍

Yes definitely, it’s very hilly round here so keeping me fit, coming back to the UK in a few weeks so hope to get a bit proper Lakes mountain biking in while I’m back 👍

I think it’s a good looking tyre, maybe a copy of an early 90s Tioga or something like that, it’s a wire bead heavyweight with thick sidewalls but I’m not complaining 😄 The red RST fork lettering is beginning to upset me by clashing with the yellow frame decals as well as the general state of...

Been a while, Finally found some tan wall tyres out here in Indonesia that weren’t too expensive

Indonesia, Malang in East Java specifically

I rode a few hundred yards today, feels really nice, a keeper I think. Time to break it down and pack it up, the Privateer is coming with me across the world in a few days (hopefully)

Weld on pins and a slide hammer like they do with car body panels? would be a tricky job however

What year is yours Elev? I’m too tired to search your build thread 😴

That’s really kind, unfortunately I’m out of the country for a while after the 22nd but I’m patient if you want to hold onto it until you are next over this way? Interesting, I thought the cheapo 26.8 was a bit loose. Just had a quick check and the 96 dealer catalogue versus the 96 customer...

That’s very kind Slackboy I might take you up on that 👍

I’m itching to ride my Bontrager, so to that end I have have made some progress over the last few days and it’s starting to look like a proper bicycle again. I’m trying to use as many bits as possible from the original find as it was probably built up with those parts by the original owner back...

Thanks 😊 Update.. I got it pretty true as it fits and clamps nicely in the steerer, happy days

Very kind thanks Not sure there’s anything left that needs cutting or welding unfortunately

You know it’s been too long when you have to search for your own thread 😄 So… had an issue with the nice Bontrager gusseted stem, I guess rust and manglement over the years had destroyed the fork tube clamping end. The little curved bit just visible below is the top of the original chamfer cut...
