Washing up liquid, sponge, scrubbing brush and elbow grease haha

Well the wheels took some cleaning!!! Came up well imho, tyres cleaned and cherry blossomed, rear wheel needed new nipples and fettle aswell as fresh grease, the front a little less. Going to use the orange bars and the super long foam grips have arrived so alls left to do now is build it up...

No worries, pass the karma on, I've been fortunate lately so one good deed etc :) send us your address and I'll get them out asap

Sorry dude, left hand sides not catching, rear right is though. I've a set of brifters,cantis, mechs you can have if they're any good to make a good set? My shout :)

Small update time @al sent the 700cx brifters, bloody lovely and thankyou! Comparison to the oder ones make them even better. Brakes and qrs had a quick sctub and brasso, not mint but much better. Chain and cassette have scrubbed up well. Wheels next......

i have some but cant remember which shifter wasnt great, ill rave them out tomorrow evening buddy

Diamond back had an alloy u brake frame in 88 iirc. Worth a check and comparison

Near me ;)

Cheers dude, just taken the year from this Special Products Division | 1993 | Retrobike https://share.google/9qV002swpBemVc14V

To do.... Clean brakes, it's and chainset hardware. Found the 7 speed lx brifters, will check them after a clean with a cable fitted. Wheels are minging so hopefully clean the same a the rest.. chain and cassette will have to wait till later in yhe week

Box of cleaned bits and a dynatech seat qr, never new these existed. Presume it was a generic one. Paints peeled but cleaned up and works well.. mechs got a good scrubbing and feel tight and not worn at all, jockey wheels look new! Found a syncros post in 27.2 from Steve's parts stash, the...

Weight comparisons, shocking! Standard stem,bar and seatpost against zoom bar,stem and the orange hotrods. Will see what posts I have later, this one should be long enough..... And a dirty chainset before soaking

That's the plan at present, although I have a silver 1 inch zoom stem and orange hotrod bar that would feel amazing on gravel and weight alot less haha, I'll get them scales later and compare :)

Shame about the scuff, think its had a light or computer fitted at some point here. Bb spins lovely! Might strip and service the wheels tomorrow evening if I get time.

Cleaned and had a quick furniture polish. Looks nicer in the sun and cleaned up well tbh. Stripped and cleaned the headset ready for reinstallation with fresh grease. Gonna have 5 minutes cleaning and checking the bottom bracket, span well so shouldn't be an issue.

Just stropped the original sti's I think they're just sticky and need some love and cleaning. I'll probably use the lx though. The handlebar and stem weights the same as a car so may swap for some alloy ones haha. Got some period zoom ones. Frames cleaned up well and I'll give it a quick polish...

Bare frame and forks, ready for a bloody good scrub

Okay so it's got knobbly 700c wheelset and not quite cyclocross so I'm sticking this here as it's more mtb ;) Bought from Facebook marketplace a few months back fairly locally from it's original owner who used it to get about as an engineering apprentice back in 93. He lived in a beautiful and...

brasso/silvo or good old metal polish and elbow grease. pics :)
