there are great guides on parktool.com

i've just seen you're local, so if you want a few pointers, gimme a shout. You can clean it first though

thanks for the offer. just been talking to a colleague in work who like to do up bikes and he has recommended me a place in Nailsea where he had a frame redone for £30 so i am now thinking complete strip down and respray then new retro parts back on !

Gonna start looking for Specialized parts online and maybe Bristol Bike Workshop

i have just looked at the spec and this 96-97 bike is almost the same as mine but my rear mech is SR Suntour not STX so maybe i have a replacement or earlier model.

gives me a list as a basis but i hope to to go all deore on this restore

i dont think that paint will look too bad once cleaned up. It's a nice colour too.

its chipped to pieces all over really badly right back to the alu

Anyone have any ideas where i might find all the stickers, especially the Hardrock ones ?
