... Namely, what is the width of the BB axle and what dia. seatpost do I need?

Thanks in advance chaps

73mm and 30.9mm
Got one myself, currently for sale though
Has a good few original parts on it and if you were interested could split if it helps you out

Hey thanks huntso. Thanks for the info do you happen to know the correct BB width to get the chainline right? is it 113mm?

I've been very slowly collecting bits for this build so I think I'm ok - but thanks for the offer anyway!

Cheers

No problem, does depend on the crank to a large extent, mine has a 113mm Octalink and is fine.
Have used a 110 with older Shimano cranks that was fine too and probably ok down to about 107.

What colour is yours and what sort of build you going for?

I'm going for a retroish rigid. I've got some nice Diamondback Axis Spinner DB forks up front, 135mm specialized stem, flat bars, NOS STX-RC shifters, Mavic 231s on LX hubs, '2000 LX chainset... etc..

Mine's a 19" Blue and Silver frame, and I think it might be a '99 thinking about it

Actually, your bike would be nice for my girlfriend - is there any chance you could send it to Bristol?

Ta for the info fella

Cheers

My girlfriend has one of these, similar colour to the fist generation Judy XC, and guess what forks I've put on it? I bought mine frame only, and it came with seat post and knackered BB.

I have fitted it out with all the Alivio kit that was on her later Hardrock that was too small. Looks good, nice and light and rides very nicely. 17" frame on hers.
