Phew! Thanks
Thanks for the positive response. Wasn't sure how this re-build was going to go down here on retrobike.

Yes
I agree. The forks are 100mm travel but I'm going to reduce travel to 80mm to re-align the geometry a little better. I refrained from fitting a rear disc brake and went with the v-brake. Some think I should put a Magura HS33 hydraulic on the rear?

How does it ride on the 100mm forks?

Rides ok
Rides ok although I think it needs an 0rise 80mm stem to quicken the steering and lower the geometry along with the 10mm fork drop - or maybe just one of the two?
