Re: 3DV crank caps please, will PM you

just to get in the Christmas spirit, here's a festive robin come to check out the new bike... :xmas-big-grin:

Re: Re: Hard as hell, having not ridden a rigid bike with straight forks for over 20 years, and with the very (by modern standards) low narrow bars, it feels weird. Having said that it's really light, and when you want to go, it really goes. I only went for a quick spin with the kids (mostly...

Finally it's done (although looking at this forum, I'm not sure a bike is ever done!), here's the photos of it finished... I'm really pleased how it turned out, and thanks to my mate Mark for screwing it together so nicely. I'll do a spec sheet in a couple of days, but just enjoying having it...

Re: Re: really helpful, thanks very much for your detailed explanation. I'm off to my friends tomorrow to get the final part of the build completed; Fit bottom bracket cable guide Fit gear cables and adjust fit spacer and top cap go for a ride (finally) can't wait...!

When I got the frame, I got a number of accessories, but having taken the stem off, and tried to fit a number of them, none really seemed to do the job. Being a bit of a novice any help is appreciated. Here's what I have : The mostly likely candidates are those on the left of the photo...

Thanks for the advice, this is a better and safer option, I got a few spare spacers when I bought the frame, so I'll add one of those. The only reason was that the cap that goes on top of the stem doesn't press fit, as the stem sits a little proud, so adding a spacer should fix this - thanks...

OK, nearly there, I went to a friends place today (he's a bike mechanic on the side) and got most of the bike built. Only slight snag was missing the bottom bracket cable guide. Here's a couple of photos of the build in progress... also looks like the forks are a little too long, I need...

After following up with Damian, I've received the skewers and I'm very happy with them. Seems like Damian has a lot going on outside the Retrobike world, hence the delay in him sending them out, but all turned out good in the end. Thanks to RobMac for his gentle nudge in sorting this out

just be aware, I've paid for a set of these, and Raymond Mole (Damian) has disappeared with my money, no answer to PM's or email, Mods are aware, trading dispute has been raised.

Bought a set of white Syncros seatpost stickers and stencil from RockiMtn. Stickers perfect and same size as original, as is stencil, arrived in less than a week to the UK Very easy to deal with Frank

OK, so finally I've got the frame, I think it looks fantastic. here's some photos (apologies for Nelson the dog's guest appearance in a couple of them)... Looking forward to finding the time to get it built properly, more photos to follow as I get the time

PM incoming re Onza grips

here it is, first proper photo of the frame and forks. Jon sent me this earlier today. Hopefully I will have it with me to start the build in a couple of weeks, can't wait to see it in the flesh/metal

cool, thanks for checking

managed to source the cassette, but I asked for the wrong size Front Derailleur, I need XTR FD-M950 34.9 bottom pull. It's the the last piece of the puzzle, any help welcome well apart from grips, not sure what's best to go on a moonrise Attitude - any ideas ? Thanks

very close now, just paid Jon for the respray, and hopefully it's on its way to me now. Here's the first photo, which Jon sent me as I've asked him to use MC1 era graphics even though it's a '96 MC2 frame. I just prefer the look of the Klein logos on the forks and downtube. I know it's not...

Re: Re: Thanks for this, the FD is the only thing I've not got yet, interesting that I need 34.9, this website says 35 ?? -http://www.bikepedia.com/QuickBike/Bike ... itude+(01) I guess that's close enough ? Last email I got from Jon on the frame was last week and he was just priming it, so...

Dropbox album is empty ? is the FD-M950 still available if so what size (I'm after 31.8 bottom pull) Thanks

Nearly got all the parts I need for a '96 Klein Attitude build, but I'm still after : Front Derailleur XTR M950, Bottom pull 31.8 ideally in pretty good condition XTR CS-M950 8 speed cassette (I think Shimano did a Ti version, so I'd be interested in one of those) to go on a Hope Ti hub Thanks
