Yes for 93MY Early frames have a 92 date stamp hence the confusion

Drop me some pics mate on Pm and we can have a chat

Book the MOT in Tamworth and drive .....

Yes I still have the £5 set.

I have these Z2 Superfly in silver/ yellow / blue which I’d like to use but the colours don’t look correct with the bike I’d like to use them on. Does anyone have a similar condition Superfly in silver / black they would swap? Unlikely I realise as it’s quite specific on a rare fork.

Tech shop frame. RTS2 or 3 were paint.

26.8 was 91/2 27.0 was 93-95 but also around half of 96 27.2 is 97 onward If a 27.2 is too tight it’s likely as a 27.0 has been used prior and the clamp it’s squeezed in.

I’ve weighed both Ku’s and both are surprisingly quite light to say I wasn’t chasing a weight weenie build. 97 is 9.3kg but needs a saddle / pedals 98 is 9.7kg but needs pedals. I also have a Superfly fork which I’ve tried on the 98 as I’d really like to make use of it but don’t currently...

Steerers usually come up for around £20-30 and you can sell your old one for the same price Headset , a nice M900 one would suit and add that Syncros for sure.

Personally I’d go with an earlier stem than Thomson. Even a Syncros would suit a bit better in my opinion. If you need the XTR cranks restoring shout me

I think so mate but I’ll need to check. Drop me a pm to remind me as I’m out all day

Me too

Sounds like John Buckley

Something like this ?

For me the 1098/1198/848 is the best looking overall but that’s likely as it’s the period where I started to get into them. 916 shaped ones are still such great looking bike even 30 years later but do look their age as the 999 could pass as a modern bike almost.
