[mikeekim89]

oops, just read you swapped out the old ones for them sorry, a fellow lover there good for xc too, if it's dry, they hold alot more than you'd think on loose dirt, and ice :L

Will do... I bought a pair recently for my Marin SS on Ebay for 17.99 (free P+P)... I know what you mean. I scored my front one on the Marin as I did not set the front pad correctly on one side... Luckily I went down the road first and noticed...

I know, the Ebay shop was called "absolutecycles" and also there was another "highonbikes"....

 

[mikeekim89]

Small update:

The frame and forks have been stripped and painted:

The forks:

The frame in the process of being stripped:

Painted:

Unfortunately the frame reacted on the down tube so I will have to do the frame again... Not happy as it looked good at this stage :cry:

The old bottom bracket was inserted when painting so that no paint went inside...

Also purchased a UN54 bottom bracket ready for the build.

and what about parts of head-set - You didn't remove them
Do You want respray front part with head-set in black as oryginal?

 

[dan_b]

Yeah, I left them in as I am going to do the front end as original in black. That is when the paint reacted on another coat... I was doing it in steps but I have gone forward one step and three steps back...
