Thought I would say a quick hello. So, hello all.
I found my way here because I have taken the plunge, well I'll rephrased that I have decided that I will take the plunge and rebuild at least one of my old bikes to its former glory. Namely my Zaskar, a 1997 model I think. I bought the frame and built it up in early '98, cost a bleeding fortune back in the day; Sid SL's, full XTR except for S-works cranks, Mavic DH rims (cant remember what they were called DH21's sound right?), cant remember the type of head/Ahead or what ever it was back then, or the bars or stem. I loved it. So I am going to sort it out and start using it as my new Canyon Spectral 6.0 is not great for road riding.
I also have a 1994 Stumpjumper that is in fine working order, just too small for me, and my first ever mountain bike a 1990(ish) Hardrock which needs some love but I still have the original wheels, saddle and 200gs groupset.
My first question, which has been asked a thousand times already: Where does one get decals? All the repo ones I have seen are different to mine, mine looks like this http://www.retrobike.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=109967
I'll try to be helpful but I do not profess to know a great deal about old skool bikes, I used to be a teenager and knew everything but that was a long time ago. However, if you are looking to build a football pitch or running track or something then I might be of use!
