    The mother of legends: MS Racing Pro Comp XT

    @27motorhead I have 3 😁. A CR1 and a CR2 plus the Pro Comp XT. The only one which I believe has the original saddle is the CR2. I cant remember the exact brand but its something like 'comptur' off the top of my head. Next time I can get to it I will confirm but its certainly not something I had...

    Wanted 1990 Diamondback Apex or Ascent EX, 20.5”.

    That one was sold a while back. Then I kind of regretted it so got a 1989 Axis to replace it.

    Real Ringle bottle cage?

    That looks real to me. The repros I have seen are a slightly different shape and the anodising doesn't have that grainy finish that the real ones do. Here's a reproduction for comparison https://www.sellutionmtb.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=MC%2DRNG1

    Sold Ritchey Force 22.2 stem by Nitto

    Thanks buddy. I need one with the cable hanger rather than a roller. To be completely honest I have not seen one with a roller before. Out of interest do you know what sort of year it is from @Tootyred

    Postage costs for a MTB suspension from US - Uk

    Have you tried bikeflights. I have ordered some forks from the US and they are sending via them. Not cheap but I believe all duties/taxes are included so hopefully no surprises when they arrive.

    Brining back the neon in old neon paint

    I think there was something a bit funky with the neon paint they used for the MS racing bikes in 89. That Pro Comp is mine and as you say the paint is not that bad. However my CR2 is terrible, see the pic below. Interestingly my 90 and 91 Al-Megas still have nice and bright fluro yellow paint. I...
