Tim I would like to thank you for all of help and support over the years . I think the most memorable fork build was for my Richard Thackray restoration here: https://www.retrobike.co.uk/threads/richard-thackray-original-team-pace-f1-restoration-thread-completed.408832/page-4#post-3023418

Congratulations to @44Racing on your win

I love Yeti Ultimate’s having looked for one for a while now and got beaten to everyone I’ve seen for sale I’ve seen the Zinn up close and it’s gorgeous, truly gorgeous What a dilemma, but my early thoughts are so far it’s the Zinn for me with the bike I’d love to own a very very close second...

I'm very much like Peachy when on the rare occasion I do sell something it tends to be for less than I paid for it or have in it, but when I am looking for parts I am now seeing (on certain sites ) prices what I feel are well over the odds I've been on the scene since around 97 and at the...

It was to the Richard Thackray restoration and based upon that I’ll be fitting a Royce 126mm to my Black F1 once I’ve sourced one I’m just in the process of getting the components sourced for the build of my Black F1 and will be starting a thread for that soon 👍🏻

I’ll PM you

Bump

Just putting the feelers out to see if anyone has a set of Mk1 Crossmax for sale (Black) Please PM me if you have

A member on hear called “The reach” he’s a first class engineer and will be able to do this for you

Don’t think they will be any good for you but a set of nice 36h 231cd rims have just come on the bay, auction listing. Thought I’d mention incase you can accommodate these

Dave, Admittedly centre does look slightly bigger than the two outers

Dave, I’ve got an F2 and here’s a pic of how I’ve got my rear Hydrostop’s routed. Unfortunately I can’t remember where I got this type of guide from

Dave have you thought about a Cannondale hose guide? Almost identical to those used on RC100’s and can be bought relatively cheaply off the bay. Normally affixed with two pins but you could easily bond one to frame with something not too aggressive if you have a look at the restoration I did...
