As title I'm selling my RC31 as its been sat in the loft now for a few years and I can't see me using it in the near future. Steer tube is 200mm long, no major marks on the legs just a bit of minor 'bubbling' in the laquer at the bottom of the legs (hard to describe so look at the photos)...

Folks I'm after some guidance on a frame that's come up for sale with a dent in the top tube and I can't decide if the dent is going to have a detrimental effect on the frames strength. The Dent is in the middle of the top tube. The seller isn't hiding the dent and has sent me the following...

I bought this in the hope the owner had miss measured it and it was a19 inch, but sadly it was actually a 20 so it's too big for me and needs a new home. It's a bit rough, with one ent in the top tube and a few marks on the seat tube where I had to assist the seat post out with a hack saw...

I've just determined the forks on my lastest project are 97 bombers Z3 and they use a coil spring / elastomer combo.The elastomers are shot in both legs . Is it possible to get replacement elastomers for these forks ?

I've just picked up my latest project and its got a pair of bombers on it which need a service and possibly repair, but I'm not exactly sure what they are so don't know which service manual to follow. The stickers say z3 but that's all, there is no disc tab so I'm guessing they are 97 but can...

As title really, disc only is fine.

Here are a set of tired / battered Rock Shox pike coil u turn with 20mm bolt through lowers. The stanctions are worn as you'll see from the photos, but it still works fine and would make a good hack bike fork or just winter fork that you don't need to care about too much. The wear on the...

Its probably not to everyone's liking just like my lava dome but here's my latest retro build. Handily with a 32 18 gearing for winter it didn't need a tensioner.

Anybody know if it'll work if I put a 73 mm bb into my frame that's got a 68mm Bob shell but using a 2.5mm ht2 bb spacer on each side to essentially make the bb shell 73mm wide ? Only asking as I've seen a cheap bb in the right length for my crank but its in the wrong size shell. I realize...

Bought NOS from Onza on eBay recently , not quite perfect as its got some storage marks and the logo is a bit worn. Had planned to use it on a build but have changed my mind and gone for something a bit shorter. Have pics but the photo bucket app doesn't work on my phone anymore since it was...

Can anybody tell me what are the real differences between the Explosif and Kilaua around the 94 era? I know the Explosif is the better frame, but why? Looking in the catalogue it sounds like both bikes have the same rear end but the Explosif has different top / down tubes is this right? Ta
