I’m looking for a 90 or 100 mm stem for a 1998 Rockhopper so 1 1/8 steerer and 25.4 mm clamp size. I’ve got a 110mm in my stash but it’s a tad too long and a knackered 90mm ( photos below ) which is near perfect apart from being knackered lol

Fantastic! What a transformation. The quality of 90’s bikes and components is incredible, can’t wait to see it built 👍

Nearly got all the bits, plenty of cleaning and polishing to do and a bit of paint touch up.

Great skills!!! I had to put a hat on just so I could take it off for you 🧢

Fantastic to see this bikes second life and impressive skills you’ve got there. You make it look easy, my shins and knees know it’s not lol

What size is the frame? Its a nice bike, one I have always fancied.....

cheers, I will have to find the owners manual 👍 the servicing I’ll be ok with, I managed to understand Donny Darko after watching it only 15 times lol 😂

I’ll have to download the service instructions and see if it’s possible to adjust the travel.

Cheers mate, I’ll take your advice there. I did get some silicon grease for the Hope piston seals and I have some oil, it’s 10 weight which could be a bit heavy? I’ve been told by my motocross riding lunatic friend that if I mix it 50 % with 5 weight that will make the 7.5 specified by...

Sorry of course, derrr! They’re Z5 series

Hi matey, it’s not bad at all. It’s definitely slower than a rigid or hard tail on anything other than unpleasantly bumpy lol but i found it great on rough terrain. I don’t have any full suspension experience so perhaps it’s worse than a cheap supermarket bike or it could be superb lol The...

The front mech was temperamental and rusty so a matching xt m770 was found and fitted along with some different forks. 2001 Marzocchi Bombers , I was hoping they were 100mm but they’re 85mm which will probably be ok.

A trip to my parents place and a rummage through the garage and yay 🥳 I found my old saddlebag bought new by me in ‘97 to go on my palisades trail.

Good skills there 👍

It will definitely look cleaner without the rim brake mounts. I’ve used 3M adhesive cable/hose mounts before and they’re pretty good.

Good idea with the paint, looking great 👍

What a collection you’ll have ! Your shed will have to look like a Kona dealers from 1990 as well. Decor, posters, a glass cabinet with shiny bits in all from 1990. Like a Time Machine, old cathode ray tv with a video of MTV playing….. sorry I got carried away then 😂
