1996 Cinder Cone, slow work in progress.

Yeah I'm just having a bit of an experiment really, it'll mainly be for road use, have other bikes for more challenging terrain. It may well all change down the line!

Looking fantastic Now i hope you remembered the inside of the frame. some waxy solution poured in,slunged about and poured out Thin tubing ,age :? uk climate. Cant hurt

Yeah, thanks Ben, meant to drop you a message and say thanks.

I had a good go at the inside, it didn't seem that bad oddly, no stuck seatpost or BB, I think it had been well maintained up until a point.

Should be going for a ride on it this weekend to test the gear ratio, I'm not sure 42/16 is going to be enough for me.

So it's just about there, not fully happy with the 42/16 ratio so need to play with that, and those awful pedals appear to be welded onto the crank arms so need to figure out how to get them off. Also need a chainstay sticker. It's been well worth the wait

Thanks to Gil_m for the decals and the other members who've helped with the required parts.
