I’m easy - what have you got? Christian

Re: Very nice!!

Re: Re: I thought that - I think as close to period as possible on this one as my last one was far from period. I’m struggling to get the red matching flight saddle and the black Marin handlebars. I’m also going to fit my M9020 single speed chainset which I think will suit it but everything...

Re: Re: I’ve got the original Manitou SX ti - I know there are mixed reviews but unsure what to swap them for, maybe a period SID?

Hi all - I’m just beginning a build to make the bike I really wanted at the time I was just giving up riding. I remember seeing it at my local bike shop and drooling. I’ve got a frame and forks set pretty much original but they are away to get media blasted and coated, I’ve pretty much got an...

Re: I don’t have FB, how much Is it? Cheers Chris

Re: Re: That’s exactly what I’ve done - popped home in my lunch and fork legs are now in my boot ready for coating. Thanks for your help mate

Re: Awesome - thanks, I’ll try that later. Thanks again Chris

As per title - if anyone has a pair of mint or NOS 517 rims and a Selle Flight saddle that would be great Cheers Chris

Re: I was looking for a WCS one and there’s a NOS one on ebay for £40 I think.

I’m trying to remove the lower legs so I can get them blasted and coated but can’t seem to get them off. Has anyone dismantled a set before? Reading the instructions it says fully compress so the springs don’t turn, I’ve removed the Allen bolt that’s on the outside (5mm one) but the one on the...

Re: I’ve always wanted to do an aluminium elite - def go with that. Loads of NOS on the states to go with that.

Great reply and summarise bang on. I do get the P7 being a bit boring and probably too easy. I think a mid 90s full suspension would definitely be nice. The only ones I can remember were GT RTS or cannondale with the dodgy seatpost. What others are they?

Re: Looks like you have a lot more trinkets on your garage wall :lol: As said before - be original rather than keep it original.

Since finishing my Alpinestars Cro mega build I don’t know what to do next? I’ve got a 1997 P7 that I have managed to get a seatpost out of that is ripe for a refresh or do I get one of the many frames on ebay from that era to do a build? If you were to rebuild a bike would it be stock, as...

Re: That really is very nice!!

Re: Does look nice - full pic would be nice to get a full shot view would be nice

Re: Day off today so made a bit of progress fitting the brakes - I really love how the SS-5 levers sit on the bars next to the solitary XT shifter. As I’ve said in a previous post I’m not sold on the grips, might just get some black ODI mushrooms as they were my favourite as a child. I lost...

Re: Re: Cheers mate - I was unsure until it started to come together. I’m not sold on the grips yet and need to buy a shorter canti link for the front brakes but overall really pleased.

Re: Re: Thanks for that - I just wished my Photobucket account wasn’t shot so I could post each pic individually rather than using the Flickr link.
