Hope Seatclamp bolt was siezed solid so just stuck a spare cheapy one on for now..

Need to know the size of the Nukeproof Generator front bearings as they are rumbling..



Any opinions ?


Thanks :D

Not a fan of those yellow wheels and details, but a cracking bike nonetheless.
Gorgeous frame really, and I'm a big fan of that rear end and shock assembly.

looks pretty sorted to me.

very nice, one on my dream list.

i'd leave her as is, looks well good.

just replace worn out/grumbly bits and she'll do you well.
