Find a fabricator? Get an equivalent of the the lts rear brake adaptor milled. Out of platinum;-)

Re: Orange P7 - 2003 build thread Had one of those frames. Bit scruffy so gave it to a mate. Tempted to ask for it back having seen this...quite fancy doing a 700 disc wheel conversation

That pops. If I didn't still somehow have my 92 Kilauea I'd be stalking that exact bike.

Re: Hi, What size is it and how much? I had one of them back in the day...until it got nicked while I was signing on FFS! Cheers Rich

Re: I still love that slightly purple cobalt blue. Got an old VFR750 in a similar colour. Ended up pimping mine over the years with a spot of xtr and titanium. It came with a really long flat and heavy velocity stem which combined with the impact headset put a lot of weight forwards and the...

Re: Ah...can't remember the original saddle. It got upgraded to a ti flite not long after I got it. And then that ended up in my dad's shed until he binned it! Brakes were 986 front and 987 rear. From stuff I read on the internets of truth that model was a bit of a transitional parts bin...

Re: Hi, Fyi I still have my 92 and that shipped with xt rear and dx front Both wheels rm17 but front deore and rear dx Cheers Rich

Bung it in the freezer for an hour before you fit it. Ive done same with head set cups and motorbike crankcase bearings. I'd also suggest bunging in a BB straight away to pull it true. Cheers Rich

Re: Dark and moody Ti project. Hi, I'd be interested in the seat clamp if you're not keeping it. Cheers rich

Just actually read your original post and what they said... afaik it's the bottom that gets stretched if at all so check bearings and adjustment. But I could pull the the hope bottom cup out out the lts by hand...and it went into the other frame a bit easy so maybe my bottom cups a wrongun

FSA the pig dh pro? I've got an lts3000 frame..put a hope headset in which seemed very loose...so tried the pig which seems tight so might be the hope headset but the pig has extra deep steel lower cup. Cheers rich

Sorted Really sorted F...ing sorted Can't remember if I was referring to bikes...

I had one of those in 92. Bought the frame and built it up myself. I even dyed some converse purple and fitted fluro orange laces. No good for racing as I recall. Then 6 months later some £ukka nicked it while I was in the dole office. I need some purple and orange in my life again...

anyone want to suggest a location? I've only got a 92 Kilauea and I'm relatively unfit and technically poor...so nothing too technical! I have got a Spitfire...not sure the kona will fit in the boot although I recently got a Belfast sink in there which was surprising and stupid.

Nice...I am putting the finishing touches to something similar. Is that a 6061 ali frame? cheers RIch
