Re:
Update -
So ive managed to get the frame, forks & bars and some of the parts spayed up in the last few days,
Masking up the decals was a bit of a gamble but i think its turned out okay, the only issue i had was on the head tube, when i peeled off the masking tape it pulled off half the paint decal with it, i had to think of a way to get it back onto the frame so came up with an idea of using double sided tape (very sticky). i stuck the double sided tape to kitchen worktop then placed the masking tape, decal side down onto it and firmly pressed it down all over , then carefully peeled back the masking tape which left the decal stuck intact to the double sided tape which i was then able to stick back on the frame.
Im going to use these pedals rather then the plastic ones which were on it as im not sure if the were original to the bike.

Re:
Appreciate the compliments guys, & yeah the old pedals where pretty naff.
Being just a low end Mtb from the mid to late 80's the components have lasted really well and put shame to the low end stuff out there today.
Its a bit of a small frame for me, and the geometry reminds me of those early Klunkers.
Cheers .

Wow. Night and day!
Nice to see some love for a lowly Ridgeback. You still going to give it to your mate?
