Hello!
I'm new here and was pleasantly surprised to see other users with Boulders. I have a Starship of 1995(?) vintage with components ranging from 1995 XTRs to 1999 Pace forks and Hope disks.
I have not ridden the bike in over 6 years after ripping the granny gear off on a hill climb and going to road biking instead. I'm now resurrecting it, so I thought I would share my endeavors here.
This is not going to be some mega bucks restore. Alas since I owned this bike I have got married and had children so I can't spend like I used to. For now, I am simply replacing The shattered granny gear with a titanium ring, and overhauling the Hope master cylinders as the O ring had failed on one.
