The hard work is paying off. Looks like a totally different bike now

SOLD. Gone to a good home and RB collector

Hmm was thinking more like AC or even FSA - bit more downhill style with chain guides.. And a more period correct stem as well I just remembered

Well, I bought this beast from @jaypee a while back and wanted to get the drivetrain upgraded a bit. The freehub is knackered and could do with a pair of more downhill style cranks.

Would consider swaps. :cool:

The frame says 19.5". Just measured it and it is exactly that from top of seat tube to middle of bottom bracket. It came with a Fox Float R which was siezed and I could not fix. I can throw that it if you fancy a fettle with it. It was going to be another spares project but it was not to be.

Hi all, Selling a frameset which I have had for a couple of years. Not sure it is really retro as its a 2008 frame but might be of interest to the Mint Sauce and MBUK fans. Seems that MBUK and Felt worked together to produce 300 of these. This one is number 229 as can be seen on the sticker...

Seems a touch expensive but appears in good nick https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/356941736017916/

Well, I am totally new to painting frames, but I have been painting Warhammer miniatures for years and I have my own compressor. However, I think I will try the prep part of the job before handing over to the powder coaters for the magic part of the job. Still not totally decided as so much else...

Wow, thanks for that. Gonna need to keep a note of this 'recipe'. Read it a few times and get used to the terminology. Paint, I know what that is at least !

That would be good to see. And I will check out "old shovel". Sounds like a good source of info to follow up, thanks

I like the simplicity of this build, and the colour scheme. What made you decide to paint over the top rather than remove the original paintjob? Just curious as I have a steel frame that I am thinking of re-painting and trying to figure out a good method. Thanks

Might be a bit pricey compared to ebay sold prices but in good condition https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/820793518637856/

Apologies. I'm looking for a set with disc tabs also
