got some new decals coming from gil so thought i better try and get the old ones off tried picking at them then a hair dryer made it a bit easyer then the wife took the dog out so i gently warmed them on the gas cooker they come off real easy then :D
 
i had the frame welded tonight hope its strong, time will tell.

help on chains please
i have a sram pc48 that came with the bike but i believe the correct chain should be shimano ig 51 , ive done a quick search and i can get new from the bay of e for around £10 or crc do a sram pc850 for £10 reduced from £20 whats the best thing to do, keep original or buy better for the same money :?
 
I think the original would have been a shimano.

They will both work fine so it's up to you which you go for.
