well, i nearly spoke too soon...
was at Coed-y-Brenin on friday, just about to head out to do the karrimor / redbull / MBR trails...
thats when i found out that one of the bolts holding the rear triangle in place (Where it meets the lug nr the top of the seat post tube) was missing. So i did what anyone else would do with a 'rare' bike.... went out and rode it anyway!
Got half way round when i noticed that the other bolt had fallen out, and i now had 'rear suspension' as the top of the rear triangle wasnt connected to the frame. Fixed it by shoving an allen key thru the hole and tying it in place with a bit of string, and completed the ride. Back at the bike shop place in the visitor centre, asked if they had a bolt to fix it properly. The guy there looked at the bike and said 'wow - I remember these - I used to race one...' - he was genuinely suprised to see an old MT4, and even more suprised (worried?) to see one ridden held together with string!
He didnt have a bolt, but when i said i was going on another ride with it tied up with string he looked on with disbelief... lol
anyway, got a bolt the next day, fixed it up (cheers Phil), and then did Church Stretton (Shropshire)
(oh, and wore out the granny ring, front hub, brakes and forks feel fubar'd as well... lol)
Long live the MT4....
