I've got a small airborne Corsair frame. It's ti, decals are tatty but frame is very tidy. Many parts in the stash to build it up. What sort of spec/gearing are you looking for? It's v only but can of course run a disc adapter on the rear if desired. I wouldn't personally.

I'd have been able to resist if it was £0 ;) I think there was a bianchi or similar that had more tubes than necessary that looked like that. One man's trash is another man's treasure they say.

I see no matching explosif ;)

I doubt it's the spring. Probably needs a service, it's quite old now. You could pop off the spring and try and pull the shaft, well pump.it back and forth as it may have something clicking the rebound port but ultimately if it has, it's going to find it's way back. The old could have lost is...

It's been a while since I had a tingle quill stem but I don't think they had a removable 'quill' so if it's not got one, and it has the retaining bolt and clamp, it's an ahead stem.

I must take pics of the various ti frames I have. Maybe I'll get time over the weekend. Raleigh team ti, DBR Axis TT, GT Lightning, Lite speed obed FS, cove hummer, rock lobster team ti (why did they clear coat it??), on one ti 29er, Airborne Corsair. I think that's all.

I'm glad a simple solution presented itself and you managed to make the post good again. Simples.

All the middleburn cranks I've had, and I still have a few, have a lock ring which takes a tool that fits around the outside of the lock ring. A recent acquisition has a lock ring with Judy 2 pins to remove it. I'm guessing this isn't standard, right? I'm wondering how on earth I'm going to...

Can't help with a loose fitting tyre, that said I've not had any problems with tyres from schwalbe on any runs (racing Ralph, Nobby nic mostly, and Kevlar bead). I have always found continental tyres to be quite a tight fit and recently had a ball ache of a time fitting some schwalbe magic...

I have had a rummage and all of my frame ones have the shoulder. One set has a much smaller shoulder than the others - pic below.

These seem silly cheap. https://ebay.us/m/g8tOQJ

I've got a load of frame bosses kicking around either new or from where I've replaced steel with ti. I can have a look to see if any don't have the shoulder.

I may consider sorting with a blue controltech. It's a dark/deep blue ano, like the hope colour.

You after threaded or ahead? Can't remember if I still have a set of Marin rockstar forks in purple, may have sold them.

I didn't need to look to know it was granniegear. I suspect he takes offers at more realistic prices. He lurks on here, probably buys stuff we sell at hobbyist prices and straight on eBay for double or more.
