Here's mine - Sid forks added rather than the original aluminium straight forks. Lightest frame at the time by far. Nice and rigid. Just struggling to find the exact date of manufacture though... will update when i establish what it is.

Re: 1" Threaded Headset - Chris King / WHY? - I'll swap you one for some grip shifts...

Smoke both front and read fine. Dart is a front tyre, never well rated. Used to run 1.95's on my Giant Cadex - best tyre ever in my opinion, unless you are a fatty, then you'll need to go bigger ;)

Re: 1991 Dave Yates Diablo (Diabolo). Looks great, although my preference is white. Other than that, mint.

[/url] I won't even start on this one... but then again you are a fatty, so possibly a different category to me :wink: :D You'll notice very little unless you race regularly, so go for what suits you best. Smaller frame will be stiffer if you are out of the saddle all the time, bigger frame...

I'll keep an eye out, but I had a bright yellow hack bike nicked from Carlton back in '90 - never saw it again :(

What a beaut... always fancied a Vitus... Have more or less the same Mavic components and Simplex Retrofriction levers on my 531c. Nice one :)

lol at the battery guzzling lights and rat-trap pedals... all too farmiliar. I believe the correct name is "cotter pin" please :lol: Christ I've stripped a few of those SA 3 speed hubs in my time - cotton is your friend... Good effort on the spray job :)

My saviors... mynchiboy, I'll ping you a pm chap. :) ishaw, if all else fails I'll be in touch :)

Hi, blew up my age-old grip-ship x-ray last weekend and am in need of some parts or complete units if anyone has any floating about... :cry: Any help greatly appreciated...

I can't say I'd feel comfortable hammering across the countryside on that, beautiful as it is... Is there much flex at the bottom bracket? Is the cable tensioned, if so what tension is required? :)

Good grief, what an utter wankathon... I had to register just to make this post... utterly, utterly jealous. :cry:
