Thanks for the link and I do love the Carbon Smart Shocks but that's a bit too much for me at that price. May have scored some Vectors.

Second dibs on the XP 8 please if it does not sell. Ta, Paul.

Had a front wheel snowflake on mine for years - just taken it off as the rim was almost transparent. Only broke one spoke in all that time and never went out of true - used on a fullly rigid bike running P2s. Do it, you know you want to...

Well I missed those- anyone else?

brilliant, thanks - now watching.

Sorry chap, meant Crosslink - should have put that in the post - brain not working!

Seeking a set of Noleen Crosslink forks or Girvin Vectors Pics and prices please either posted or pm. Cheers, Paul.

Rainer has been a fountain of information, which leads me to ask a few questions. The original bottom bracket was a Shimano XTR 1996. BSA 112,5mm - is there a decent modern equivalent - internal or external would be fine, the lighter the better - going for an updated resto using the lightest...

Yup into the retro thing: VW's: VW T3 Syncro with Subaru Power: VW T3 Westfalia US Imports (got aircon, really useful at the moment!!) 1969 Karmann Ghia - soon to have 2.5 Subaru power. currently resembles an Airfix kit, pics later Also wife - a 1967 model - cannot say...

Tried Nitromors and it was useless, then used POR15 Stripper - quick and clean did this in 2 coats. http://www.retrobike.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=183873&highlight=

Hi Magas, tried Corratec and they read the emails but don't reply - not the best way to build brand loyalty. Good job for them I'm not in the market for a new bike!! Re rear brake - think I may stick with the machined adapter I have to allow the fitting of later discs and calipers. Will...

Just spotted this thread. Ok not, fully dropped, (One One bars) but I love these, really aggressive riding position, great for climbing but a wee bit scary on steep downhills.

Phenomenal job chap. Loved them BITD but always out of reach of my funds. Think you have set a new benchmark. :D

Odd I can still see the pics on here, or did you mean on the other thread? That's worthy of consideration - decals then a quick overspray with a clear coat - hmmm...... Anyone know where I can get decals for Corratec - most sources on here and the web have everything but Corratec?
