Following the question raised by Chuck Moo below, I've just compared the fork with the original genuine 94 Project 2 and they are the the same length - about 405mm a-c (allowing for measurement error on my part). If anything the ones on this bike are a couple of mm longer. I know the longer P2s are 410mm and believe the shorter ones are 390mm. Can I rest easy that this is the correct fork for a 94 Cindercone?
I've just rebuilt and had powder-coated this Cindercone from a F&F off ebay. The paintwork was in poor condition so it had to be painted. I chose this satin grey/black colour scheme just because I like it, although I know it won't be to everyone's taste.
I fitted it with a full black LX M563 groupset and original style rims. I made it with the aim of keeping it and getting rid of either my Merlin Malt or Univega Alpina 5.7 as i don't want more than two rideable bikes at any one time, but the problem is I'm not sure it handles any better than those two, certainly not the 5.7.
I'll give it a few more rides fitted with RC35s before I decide. If I keep it the Merlin will probably go
It won't have decals as I don't particularly want to advertise it when parked around Cardiff, but if I sell it I'll get decals from Gil-m first.
