Re:

Bonty OR. I wish I’d taken a photo before I started to add the paint!

Re:

Fuquay. I’ll probably keep the Middleburn RS3 cranks and hubs on this bike but definitely not the black spikes, and possibly with silver rims.

And some more of the dekerf

Stoked Matt!! So fitting it should land with you, what a steal of a price it was too (I hope you got it for the advertised price I saw)... we have brother and sister bikes! Keen to know more about the one you've picked up, is it identical size, frame stamps etc??

Re:

Thanks Tomas. Yes 18”. The listing didn’t mention the size but I looked at the photos of the one you bought from me and they looked the same so I took a punt.

I’ll look at the frame number tomorrow. What is yours?

It came with colour matched 410mm a-c Project 2’s and I paid £165 for it posted with a Syncros headset. Bargain. There is enough headroom in there for new decals and paint. I’m going to build it as a ‘94 spec nit strictly correct but it’s what I want

Spec Probably...
Dark blue paint with silver graphics
Silver Middleburn hubs and x517 rims
Silver RS3 cranks with silver Pace or Middleburn rings
Silver WTB speed master cantilevers with
Dia Compe PC levers (Need)
USE Ti seatpost
Black Flite saddle
M900 rear mech
M900 front mech (Need)
Headset, stem and bars tbc.

Maybe able to trade you an XTR M900 front mech, I have bottom puller on my Kili with a pulley but could swap out to my top pull M900 mech... also before you repaint those forks, I have some Kona 410mm black forks (I think maybe the ones I got from you ages ago) that I would kindly ask you to consider trade/£ for before you strip and repaint them as yours will match my frame colour. Can't believe you are having it repainted, I love that paint scheme and yours looks a lot less faded than mine. Do you know the seat tube size yet? After the manhandling to get that seized post out mine I was in some debate whether its 27.00 or 26.80... in the end its got a 27.00 USE shim with post in it...

Nice fuquay, saw it advertised but was confused by the 'Roadie' description so i did a little reasearch ..... got bored of it and wandered off to watching kittens on youtube.

good price though fella

Good idea about swapping the forks. I reckon we can work something out and I’d be interested in the front mech.

I checked the seatpost as I vaguely remembered you saying you’d fitted at 27.0. Mine takes a 27.2

The Yo needs to be ridden hard. That´s all it needs.

Really liking that Dekerf Matt, what size is that, 18"? did they make a 17" version also?
