Saw that, looks tidy albeit with a bit of patina. I've just returned from down that way after picking up this '95 M500.

Found it. NOS 36h DX. Never built up if the shop sticker has aged a bit but should clean off easily. Smooth bearings obviously. The skewer rubber is a little cracked.

I might have an nos 36h DX. I’ll check tomorrow. Have a 36h XTR m900 too

Regretted selling my ‘89 Clockwork so bought a ‘99 recently as a frameset and built it up. The Orange fade clockwork is so iconic.

I’d be interested in one of these:)

I couldn't get £2k when I tried to sell mine as a whole bike. Repainted too with better decals imported from the States, albeit with one incorrectly applied to the drive side. Also one of the first 200 with a Z frame number and no dents or rust. Decided to keep mine a little longer.

I’ll post more pics soon but I picked up the Kilauea today. Lovely to meet Graham, the old guy who’d had it from new. Thinks he might still have the receipt and handbook somewhere and will send them on if he can track them down. Bike is is in good but grubby condition.

I bought this, didn’t think for a minute it would be this cheap. Hoping to collect t tomorrow. Been told the post isn’t stuck. Fingers crossed about the rest! Already mulling over putting on some black P2

Thought so. I’ve got a 19” 89 explosif frameset available but the pistachio paint has been crudely over sprayed.

Was 1990 the pistachio colour one?

I got £850 for this whole bike last year. Mid 200s frame number so an early bike. Took a long time to sell too.

I've got a finished bike to enter this month, it's been a while! Markjohnson76 1995 Fuquay Here's the build/find thread; https://www.retrobike.co.uk/threads/greg-fuquay-95ish-cmr-found-and-restored.494828/ Greg Fuquay passed away a year ago today so it seemed an apt date to enter it. I hope...

I think I pinched this from another post here, sorry if it’s yours!
