@27motorhead do you know what the BCD on the crank on your bike is? I've measured and calculated the BCD on my crack to be 102mm?

Some photos of the faded scuffed decals.

Yeah the drive side looks bright but the non drive side is pretty faded. The decals on the non drive side are also scuffed, I was gonna look at wet sanding them with a fine sand paper to take the edges off. Do you think that would work? I don't want to buy new decals as I like the overall patina...

Yep just had a look on the tyres they are 26". It measures about 17 inch from the seat post to the BB.

Just had a look and they are 26". I'm looking to try and achieve this sort of look. My little boy has got his first bike with gears so I needed a bike to keep up with him and I can across a Facebook page for 90s 26er MTBs and started following a few YouTube channels and fancied giving it a go...

Thanks for the help, will make sure I post on the thread as you say I'm sure there will be others who may be doing a similar thing who can benefit from the posts. I haven't measured the frame yet but I imagine it must be around a 17" as I'm 5'7" and I fit on it. I'm sure I seen the catalogue it...

Just had a look at your thread, fairplay you've done a cracking job. I'm looking to do a more of a Resto Mod project converting it to a 1x8 with some riser bars (will be keeping all the parts so can be put back to original). Would you mind if I drop you a few messages as I go along as I said I'm...

Hi all, recently picked up this Specialized Hardrock which I believe to be a 1988 model due to seen others which have the same decals and the rear brake mounted in the same position, if anyone can confirm would be a great help. I'm a complete newbie and hoping to undertake a Resto Mod project on...

Thanks for the advice all! Almost bought a Raleigh m trax but the sellers son wanted to keep the bike. I've managed to pick this Specialized Hardrock up (think it's a 1989 model) for £55. Hoping to do a Resto Mod 1x8 conversion. This is my first attempt at something like this so there will be a...

I've also found a specialized hard rock for the same price, I'm thinking that would be a better option? I appreciate this is entirely subjective but was just looking for some general advise from people who have more experience.

What model of Raleigh would you consider a good option for this? I've seen a M trax 500 duo tech for sale locally for £50.

Been watching a lot of 2nd life bikes on YouTube lately and fancied giving a Resto Mod a go myself. Had my eye on this Claude Butler Vantage on Facebook market place. Being new to the retro bike seen and I've not really attempted any mechanical wok on a bike before. Was looking for a opinion on...
