Refreshing a tired '95 Cinder Cone - FINISHED 18Aug

Recently got this as a spare bike, planning to keep at the office for lunch / evening rides. Lots of rusty paint chips and scratches but decided against repainting - after already sourcing new decals from Gil :facepalm: Just going to give it a nice rebuild replacing everything that's worn, so it'll be fairly original spec but will ride as sweet as it did back in '95. Hopefully.. :)

Nice work! My first "proper" MTB and IMO the best spec'ed CC. It's a great ride. I remember this one on ebay - how much did you pay for it in the end?

Re: Refreshing a tired '95 Cinder Cone

Thanks guys for the positive comments, glad you like it. Yes 'Plus one' i'd found your thread and scrutinized it all before starting mine - great job you did ;)
OK here's this weekend's update. I'll post up a couple of 'finished' pics if it survives the first roadtest without anything falling off :LOL:

Excellent job on the paint-matching; that'll come in very handy to others I'm sure.
