Dirt Disciple
After being thrashed into the ground (over 30k miles....) it was dismantled around 2009 /10 . The fork was serviced by Tim (Fork English) and....was never reassembled .
Until three weeks ago .
I had the foresight to stash a new XT cassette and a couple of Dura-Ace chains twenty years ago , i just had to find where i had put them (back of my mother's shed - amazingly, not "tidied" into the bin , as she was wont to do ) .
The XTR v brakes were shot so were replaced . The rest it pretty much as it was when last ridden - only clean and not knackered
I've been using a Cindercone as my day to day bike for about 12 years , albeit with Middleburn/Easton/Thompson/Hope/XT bits and it's been great but i had totally forgotten the magic carpet feel of the Hei Hei . I loved every metre i rode on this through sun , rain , snow , mud and darkness . It cost me 10 weeks wages but never once let me down or disappointed . I love my bike
