hi all

After reading this forum its really inspired me to get back into mtbs and espcially the ones i used to race back in the nineties. selling them is something i much regret now and want to build up my collection of bikes i raced over the years. anyway i picked up my first project this weekend and hope to get her back to original state over the winter months!

heres some pics

Re:

Looks like a very nice project there mate , could do with some bigger pictures though as my eyesight is rubbish :LOL:
Was this an recent Ebay purchase ?

hi all,

Thanks

yeah correct ebay purchase, i think i did alright in paying just over 100 for her, the forks are seized but might just be the elastomers gone solid?? shes in need of some new paint to, are Argos the right guys for the job?? i am gonna try keep it as original as possible but its hard finding suntour parts unless you go to euro-asia imports, i got quoted 150 for a bb yesterday haaa! will post some bigger more detailed pic tonight if i get a chance.

cheers

it just takes time...



I think you definitely did alright - that slipped well under the RB radar...

Good luck
 
Re:

Oh yes - what BB parts do you need - is it 68 or 73mm (my son's '92 rockhopper is 73mm?)
 
cheers archemist

wow thats basically what i need!!

looking forward to getting stuck in now, its a 73mm bottom bracket. i havnt had time to start stripping it down yet but the bearings feel shot in the bb so i d probably replace the the whole thing as a matter of caution.
