My 98 Sunn Exact Colombus

Re: re:
No, fork is fine, a little marginal OK but not wayyy too high. It handles like a dream anyway, the steering is really sharp and suits my (slow) riding.
Obsys = no thanks, I don't really like having to take it apart every week LOL (I have had a 55 and a Carbon). I reckon Obsys were the prime reason for Sunn's demise in the late 90's. Brilliant ideas but poor execution and simply unmarketable regardless of how much marketing money you spent (and they spent next to none).
Cheers.

Re: a g8 bike
Hi, yes 20'. Would you consider a part ex for the Ti, maybe frame only?

Would be the perfect match for my exact 00 ti.
What size is it? Looks to be a 20". Perfect......would you send to New Zealand??????
My wife will kill me for wanting it
Then I can turn my KHS team into a killer single speed weapon.

sorry no swap
Sorry no, the 19" ti my pride and joy. I have posted pics of it here along with the KHS team.
Just ordered a load of ti bolts for the exact from the UK; stem, seat post, d's, chain ring bolts & crank bolts.
The exact ti morati hc 1.3 is a rare bike I have seen a few come up on e-bay though.

Would still like your exact though......set a price.....will for go a new fully to own your bike.

stay pics
The Sunn stays are a copy of the morati HC 1.1 or 1.3 stays. Actually Morati made the sunn ti frames for years both road & mtb. Still really high end frames that still demand a premium price.
See my pics of my exact ti 000

Hi guys,
I have just acquired a Commencal frame so I'll be rebuilding the bike over the holiday (and switch to discs unfort.).
I will therefore be selling the frame and the full XTR brakes/levers.
I will also be selling the X517s or maybe just the hubs which are black Brubz3 in a great nick.
Will be posting in the appropriate section but if you want to register an interest, feel free to PM me.
Cheers.

Sunn Exact
Do you happen to be the Nick who was the Southern Areea Rep for Sunn in the late 90's.???
Been trying to find seals & top caps for Obsys Carbon 32.
Any ideas..
That Ti Morati is a work of art.
Was offered silly trade price on lots of them.Just didnt have tho money in 1998.

Re: Sunn Exact
Yes that was me. I looked after the re-launch of Sunn in the UK (+rep for the South) from March 97 until Sunn France went into receivership in 2000 and was made redundant... Did we meet at the time?
Your only chance for parts is in France, maybe a dealer or ebay or ad in Velo Vert ?
