MS Racing - New Project / Childhood Dream Bike

Whats the frame construction on this? Bonded aluminium and steel rear end? Rather neat never seen one in the flesh!
I don't know if it helps sourcing bits for the build but this is only about 15 miles from me...
Happy to help !

Yep that's it. The one you have near you is a lower end model which will be full cromoly steel. Looks like you could nab stem and bars, but the fork steerer will be too short based on headtube of the @goshow has, but you can get these extended without too much stress. They might be made from a lesser material?
 
Hi Mickeyspinn,

That Pro-comp looks interesting. Loads of donor parts to be had there.

Do you know if it’s still available?
I don't chap it's been on there a while....think for round my way it's a bit of a specialist taste! Message them I'm more than happy to help get it to you....I can tow it back on my bike 😁

That’s very kind of you.

The main issue would be getting it from you up to Lincolnshire. It’s a 480 mile round trip. 🤦‍♂️

Would boxing and shipping be something you could also assist with? Obviously any expenses would be covered / name your price!!
 
It may well be 1" 1/8 but some reason I've got it in my head the front end is 1". I don't actually recall any 89 model bikes that were 1" 1/8 only 1" or 1" 1/4. I will check and confirm though as I may well be wrong.

Yeah no worries... It'd take me a few days to amass enough packaging but just beer tokens really it's a couple of hours peddling... if you arrange the courier I'm in my workshop 7 days a week!

Found this thread:

Pretty certain it's a 1" headset. I can check my CR1 tonight if need be, if I can get to it!

That headset is on eBay:
And the outside dimension in description (30mm) pretty much matches the inside of your steerer tube you mentioned. Again pretty sure these only came in 1" flavour.

Somewhere on RB there is a thread with a scan of the spec sheet of the parts...
