I have owned this bike from new and have always loved it, bought it from STIF in Leeds April 1992 shortly after my birthday, my dad suggested the XC Pro groupset was a good idea as he liked the grease port feature and was willing to help out over LX / DX. I added the RC35's a year or so after I bought the bike.
I have already had a word with Tim (Fork English) and are sending the forks up to him, hopefully going to get Vernon Barker to do the respray as they are not to far from me (40 minutes drive) and get some decals off Gil.
I am planning on a colour change having deliberated for a while, I very much like the grey of brocklanders023's clockwork and its close to an original colour from the period, but also like the BRG of Andy B's clockwork.
I have got it mostly stripped down and bagged up but not done the BB or Headset yet - new to this retro business but liking it alot!
