thanks, Matthias. I'm confident that the damper is alu, not plastic... any idea on the dimensions of the needed springs ( I moght be able to have them custom-winded)?? Alberto.

A friend of mine is currently restoring an old Alpinestar. This very bike fork (Spring VLS) is shot beyond any chance of recovering, due to spare parts lack. He's asking me if a '97 NOS Judy XC ( the cream/red one) would be a worthy candidate, and what he should be aware of. Since it's my...

Oh boy, i've all of a sudden realized that I passed the last 30 minutes staring at the frame's image in page 1 of this thread!! I can't even imagine how much I could get transfixed while looking at the real thing!

this is AWESOME!!! At the time, I was a sucker fro everything C'dale ( I rode to quasi-destruction a 1996 superV Active), Missy was my idol. The fact that this is practically unobtanium does make it uber-special. Congratulations and keep up the good work!

Wanted Hope Big Un front. 36 holes 1st gen is mandatory, colour and axle type aren't. Must be able to ship to Italy. Just let me know, Thanks in advance Alberto.

Dynati, by looking at a bulb exploded view ( bulb should stand for Big Un Little Brother, in rather typical Hope-esque lingo) i became persuaded that the two bottom axles in your last image are QR rear Bigun axles. If so, they would not suit me: i'm currently looking for a way to convert my Qr...

Re: Hi dhwego, I dare saying that an adapter should be OK, given that you will not exceed your fork's maximum allowed rotor size. Once there were different adapter for Magura Gustavs: http://www.bike-mailorder.de/out/pictur ... -31003.jpg The three lowermost were PM adapters, for different...

Re: @downhillwego: thanks a lot for the info, i've seen the Armageddon on sale by Chr1sb, what a beast! I will try and see if I could get someone to fab me some stainless copy of the linkage plates. @mindmap : yes, i was fully aware about the obsolescence of this type of bike. As I told...

Downhillwego, I paid what in my mind was a fair price.... whatever that would mean. I know that the market value of this beast approaches ...... well, let's see,..... almost 0 But it's been more an homage to my youth's myth than anything else. The inserts are OK: changed the bearings, and...

Re: Hope Big 'Un 20mm QR Axle...Or Not Speaking about just jacques's images, I have some front BigUn hubs. In this image, you could see what I call a Gen1 BigUn: fat hub centre, the red is QR, the silver is 20 mm. As you can see , this silver one has two top hat adapters, plus the bearings are...

Re: Still available?

hi again, after a few months here is the completed bike. changes are mostly in wheels department: laced a couple of Intense Mag30 rims to hope bigUn hubs. Had also custom 9" rotors crafted for the BigUn hubs. Let's only say that the maiden ride hasn't yet been done: bad weather and...

Hi Daniel, glad to hear back from you!! I still have to weight it; as you may imagine lightness hasn't been my main concern... This: http://www.seggioviacaldirola.it http://www.seggioviacaldirola.it/index. ... Itemid=110 used to be my playground, prior to my injury. It' a cute little bike...

Re: Hope, hope and more hope Ok, Pm sent about said converter. Thanks
