Ah nice, I hadn’t paid much attention to that, just assumed it was a duplicate of the serial number from the bottom bracket! Only update is that I’m cleaning some hand painted gold paint off the ends of the brake cantis while I have them in bits to put new pads in. The gold is coming off but...

After taking the bits of old insulation tape that were stuck on the frame, I filed down and re-aligned the brake blocks (new ones ordered) and gave it a wash. I'm not sure if I've made it any cleaner or if I have just spread the grime around more evenly, it still needs a proper clean. On a...

Picked up this lovely 1996 Marin Pine Mountain locally the other day, only had a quick look at it so far but it seems fairly original if a little scruffy. From what I can tell, it is bang on catalogue spec apart from the tyres (now Schwalbe Black Jacks), brake blocks and saddle. Down sides are...

Re: Cool sounds promising, what do you have? Thanks, Dave.

Re: Had one of these that was stiff and notchy, giving ghost pedalling. I tried flushing it to no avail and took it to bits following the YouTube vid and it was pretty straight-forward. It was cleaned up and lubed but still not right. I took it to bits again and added a couple of coke can...

Re: I don't have a method - just do what I feel I would like to do next. Hopefully shouldn't need much for this - tyres, grips and chain. And a big tub of grease and a load of Autosol.

Picked this 19 inch 1991 Pine Mountain up locally a couple of months ago. It seems to be all original except for the tyres, but it has been stood outside for an undisclosed period of time. The chain is just rust, the steel parts of the groupset are rusty, flouro paint has faded and the saddle...

Re: A 'Catalogue Claud' then :D Cheers gents.

Claud Butler Excel Picked this up a couple of years ago and it has been sat in bits getting in the way until now! Was in a pretty rough state when I got it and it seems to have had a hard if somewhat lowish mileage life. It has been given a sympathetic (on the cheap) resto with a view to...
