I am all generosity!

I still have the original straight forks in the shed.

And all the original components which were mainly XT with the Raleigh steel stem and bars in matching silver grey.

XLITE Trimnell Stem

Just to advise Im selling a single Stem which is from the Trimnell Fork in the for sale thread, dont know if this is of any use to anyone, its bloody light!.

Wonder if anyone would be mad enough to run it as a single stem!.


Passiflora

Any suggestions for a square tapered axle length for an MT4 running a triple ring set ?

Nice pic Ned

Is it one of yours? I just picked it from the aftermath thread!

For axles I generally use a 122.5 for triples but mine are all 'old type' early 90's ones (LX and XT) so perhaps this has changed with later ones? For example, I think an early XTR uses a shorter one.

As I'm the guy on the bike behind you I can't really claim it

Thanks for the thoughts on the axle.

Posted before but I've been absent for a while.

I love my DynaTech's, those Quantum pics take me back!

I've just trawled all through this thread and not seen one picture of an Odyssey even though they've been talked about a lot.

Here's a shot of mine in the guise of Mrs Ned's cruising machine but it was transformed last year into a more conventional bike and can be seen in action during last years Peaks ride complete with matching period jersey.

I can take a better shot of it in its conventional format if anyone's interested!

Yeh, I know, but that was before I'd joined this lot and realised what a classic I'd got. And Mrs Ned needs comfort not speed - and I'd bought it for her (allegedly) in the first place. I'd have hoped that it's a lot more acceptable in its current incarnation.

The mudguards date back to when it was my 'winter MTB'. I got fed up with a wet muddy streak up my back and a wet *rs*. The front one only came off to make it easier to fit into the back of the car.

I now need to build another bike for Mrs Ned still using the (very comfortable) bars and saddle. They are an integral part of any bike I build for her.

dyna experts, any ideas on the seatpost diameter on my '94 Diablo LX above?

thinking about nicking some Pace RC36 Pro Class 2's off my bro's ride to try on the front of her. they're set at 80mm i think plus there will be a decent amount of sag so should be OK...

cheers, andrew
