I've dug out the bb that was fitted with the suntour crank so I'll bin off the 200gs one lol

sorry to be asking boring questions but what diamieter seat post do i need for this 94 clockwork and do i need to shim it? I'm putting it back together next week and just missing a post ;-(

I 'think' my old 93 was 27.2mm.

 

[jimbobrust]

checked with verniers its 30mm,I guess orange used alot of different tube sizes back then.

I chucked all my parts on tonight...
I'm just waiting on some lx shifters and grips off ebay.I hope to be rolling by weekend :roll:
Yes I know theres no hope or azonic in this build,but its cost me less than £150 so far and thats far less than halfords well charge u for worse

Who needs suspension when my club roost bars have so much flex lol

I know I'm gonna put alot of purists noses out of joint by building it with components i've got laying about and ebay cheapos

Better it's built up and riden with cheapo components than left in the back of a shed in my opinion.

I like all the black parts against the orange

You've just summed up in that one sentence why Retrobikes are so good
