My Shox

Am considering keeping the Judys at the moment but was thinking of a spring upgrade. Does anyone know where I could get a NOS set from??

Thanks

BTW took her out for a spin the other night, that bike just loves to ride fast

Funds are tight and the purse string holder wants me to decorate the Kitchen, lounge, dining room and put up a stud wall!! :roll:

She has told me I am giving my bike too much attention! If only she knew that my lunch hour and bathroom breaks are spent on retro bike (thank heavens for my iPhone).

So the bike may have to get more stealth mods than noticeable ones

Hmmmm, very true. Try explaining that to my wife though!

Just need to try get some funds together for the forks......:cry:

My son did say something of sense the other day "You have a bike Daddy, I have a bike Daddy, Jack has a bike Daddy but where is Mummy's bike?" So I may have to get her a 'bike'. An excuse for a project maybe?? :?

My Bike

Thought I would add a picture of the info stamped under my bottom bracket. States mine was made 24/08/2004.

Hope you guys like.

Small Update

Just a small update:

Now have some Kronos springs on the way to me to sort out my Judy's as when I took them apart last week the MCU's are falling apart! :roll:

Also fitted a nice pair of clear Onza Ules many thanks to billysan for those.

Should hopefully get some more pics up once I have stripped and rebuilt the forks
