I'll take this please. PM incoming.

Ignore last, I found your PayPal and have sent a couple of quid. Thanks again!

Thank you so much. Could you please PM me your PayPal details again as I cannot match to your username.

Thanks @walkmanman. If you find one let me know your details and I'll send payment via transfer/ PayPal.

I'm after a Cantilever mount/boss which is threaded all the way to the top, as seen in the picture. Preferably silver please. Thank you

Does anyone know where I can buy a canti boss like the one pictured on the left, as opposed the right - threaded all the way to the top in size M8? I can find titanium ones from China on ebay and black M10 ones, but the only others I can find, the thread stops short and there is a metal bit...

It is an option but I don't have one, and this model came with Suntour's top-pull Expert FD so there isn't the hole in the frame at the bottom to add the bit where the cable comes back on itself. If I can't get a top-pull FD then I might explore this further though.

As per title - having been sent (incorrectly) a bottom-pull NOS XC Comp derailleur from the USA, I am now after the correct Top-Pull Suntour XC Comp or Pro Micro Drive front derailleur with a 35mm band

Oh the irony... I went to fit the front mech today, getting as far as clamping it on and running the cable, only to realise a mistake... It's a bottom pull mech. I had someone bring it for me from the USA as the seller didn't post to the UK and I stashed it away and forgot about it ages ago...

Thanks @Once A Hero Fortunately the 8300 had a top swing front derailleur and it's routed conventionally (see pic) .. although you did make me so panic slightly, and I had to do a double-take and check for myself!

I mounted the seat to a Trek System 2 seatpost that I polished. I've also fitted the BB, polished and fitted the Suntour XC Expert crankset and added the XC Pro GG pedals, Tioga Alchemy Headset, Pace RC35 Forks, and System 2 Bar and Stem. I modified the 8 speed Suntour MD cassette by removing...

Finally got around to moving forward a bit with my build. I sourced a Selle Italia Flight saddle, date stamped '93, so perfect for my 1993 bike. I restored it using the London Leather Company products and I'm pretty pleased with the results. (I've since done a resto on a pair of trainers and...

Beautiful group. In the unlikely event that you split, I would be interested in the rear derailleur. Thanks

@PanoIgano Sure, no problem. I have the wheel and cassette together and all the bits are there, but I'm in the process of refurbing the derailleur a bit and finishing polishing one of the crank arms. As soon as I get some free time, I'll be back on the case!

2nd in line if Spankyfart doesn't take them please.
