    Preload adjuster

    Can any of you guys put me on the trail of a preload adjuster knob for my boys Giant Boulder 6000 ALU XX with Suntour XCT forks. The piece is about 21 or 22mm and the metric thread pitch is 1.5. It seems all the later forks have a larger size piece, approx 25mil and no shops have any of these...

    Giant Cedex 980C carbon frame

    As per the heading the frame is an early Giant Cedex carbon frame which I'm fairly reliably informed is of the type ridden by Hinault in the '80's. Whatever it is quite light and in very good condition. The size is 55cm centre bottom bracket which is English thread to top of the top tube and the...

    Falcon Californian

    I've put a Shimano 105 rear mech and a road triple on the bike which I think makes it look a whole lot better. Much more of a road bike style than mtb/vtt appearance. For an aluminium frame with steel forks it is quite a light machine and goes very well. New pics . . .

    Falcon Californian

    Yep, bike still available. I'm thinking about fitting a Shimano Deore rear mech and a Shimano road triple chainset to the bike just to make it a bit more gravel and a bit less MTB. I'll post a new pic when it's done.

    Falcon Californian

    An old name but obviously been bought up by some Eastern mob, a Falcon Californian, a 19" polished aluminium frame set up for a bit of gravel type fun as it's on aero 700c's with aero bladed spokes and very good 35 mil tyres. Gears are close ratio, lowest is 28 x 24 so you won't be climbing any...

    Grandini

    Thanks Ned, Grandini was the up market side of Youngs cycles when they were in Lee High Road near to Lewisham. In fact they sponsored, I believe, an independent bunch of guys and this must have been in the '60's. I would estimate the bike to be a '60's manufacture, the under B/B cabling is just...

    Grandini

    This is the last bike I restored, a quick rebuild that only took a few weeks, currently looking for something to pique my interest but with the lockdown and consequently no bike jumbles there is not much material to be found.
