you hit the magic ratio looks very nice

i'm hoping to do the same with mine when the 18T freewheel arrives.

Stunning mate looks great well done. However the chain looks a wee bit slack has it stretched a bit or is it just on?

I did run a chain tensioner for a while. Without it the chain cannot be pulled off the sprockets at either end. I have not had the chain come off yet plus it looks and sounds much better without one.

That's cool just watch the slack (chains can stretch over time) and it's when you're really putting the hammer down that it will slip or ship and your nadds are always the ones to suffer

Ss rocks.

I did run a half-link chain for a while. Looked cool but stretched alarmingly

Yeah they are pretty crap, got one myself and have had to take a few links out over the last 6 months. Read somewhere that the crank should spin backwards about 1 and a half times when the chain is the right tension mind you even with sliding dropouts and tugg nutts I still lost my chain going downhill at glentress last week. Sweet frame anyway and a top avatar also

That look's ace , very clean without the tensioner, look's uncanily like my E3, which i've just de-stickered and re-polished, think the weight is in the same ball park too.

Forgive me, I'am new at using forums
fantastic bike , Mag 21s ,pulsar hubs ,not sure what year, I'll take pics if anyone interested and more detail if required. cheers

wrong place mate- put it in the for sale section with a price

Welcome aboard fella.

About time I showed a new picture of this one. Converted it from a SS to the current spec last year. Super comfy steel frame with some nice bits hanging off it. Still has cow shit on it from the 'Gates' ride last July.

The Ti-Plating is one of the features I love of the 90's Parkpre's but yours looks so freakin beautiful with the plating off. It is nice to know that there is such a nice finish underneath that Ti Plating!

To you ever plan to put new decals on this Team 925?

About time this had an update. Now has a mix of LX, XT and XTR. Really want to convert this back to cantis one day. Got it out to dust it down ready for the 'Gates Ride' in a couple of weeks. Thought to myself, that's a good looking bike!

That is nice.

Tange ultimate - same as my 1994 kili. Lovely.

Lovely job!

Did you perchance buy this off the STW forum a couple of years back? If so, it might have been mine once upon a time. Would love to think that someone had restored it to this state.

I managed to find a couple of old gorrick pics of me as a youth racing on my Team925. If interested I could post them up.

Cheers
