!992 Aluminium O - new retro project

[mattenock]

Hi there - trying a new post as I started this in the wanted section - sorry about that!!!
Anyway - I've owned this since new and the time has come to restore it to it's former glory - first up is a full respray - I'm thinking of using ARGOS unless anyone has any better ideas - I want it identical with exact same decals put back on - I'm assuming Argos can deliver but that's my next e-mail
Soon as the respray is done, it's new forks required - Mag 21s, Manitou1s or Pace RC30 / 35s ideally - itr's got horrible cheap Manitous on at the moment so they will have to go!!
New bars and stem, new headset and we'll see how everything else tidies up.
My indulgence will be intro of as much purple titanium as I can find - always wanted to do it back in the day but never had the money - I'm thinking skewers, seat clamp and as many bolts as possible
Love to hear people's thoughts
I'll get some pictures up asap
Cheers
Matt

Sorry about this but anyone know how I can add photos on here - tried using the add attachment but it ain't playing!!!
Cheers

might be worth putting it the members section for builds rather than the chat section.

I'm sure by using search it will help you find a "how to with pictures" but for me I normally use photobucket and size them to about 75% to avoid the panaramic pics we seem to get from some

Thanks Sylus - Happy to do whatever as new to this forum. Still keen to get feedback re my resto project from anyone out there who can give me some advice

If the moderators read this - please feel free to move it as appropriate - no idea how to do that!

Thanks

Matt

Purple, then if yours is a later '92 frame. Upgrade it to the Purple Ano version

 

[mattenock]

Never a big fan of the full purple ano version compared to the silver version I've got - prefer to have just a few bits of purple titanium!

reduce your photo's to 1024x768 and add them from add attachments and then browse then click the picture then add attachment in the box next to the link below the browse button.

Isn´t there a board restriction which only allows posting photos when one has 4+ posts or the like?

 

[sylus]

I did think if you are using the boards img service that there was a 5 post minimum but sites such as photobucket etc seems to be okay to use from day 1

Hi Matt,

Yes get some pictures up - there's not been an 'O' on here for a while I don't think...?!

I miss mine now... :cry:
