Day Five : Well today I dropped off my frame to a buddy of mine who works at a spray shop, they gave my hard work the once over and agreed that it was up to their standard of preparation for painting. Now it's just a waiting game until it's completed, I decided on Nardo Gray, an Audi colour...

Looks a damned fine example to me........ Love the colours.

It's amazing the buzz you get after saving a bike like that from being crushed. I'm currently totally restoring a 1997 F700, i've thrown away (Kept In Workshop) almost every component apart from the frame, restoring it using updated components. I've fully rebuilt the headshok (DD60) and the...

Great looking bike and would make a nice addition to anyone's collection. I'd love to totally restore that back to factory spec. I know what you mean about getting the suspension set right, if it's not....... you just won't feel confident on the bike.

Day 4 : Parts starting to arrive.......... They sent the wrong pedals, so they're going back........ Damn, a lost day, but can't get frame into the spray shop for a few days, so no big deal.

DAY 3 : The Frame Wow, didn't realize how long this would take, I started off using some fine wet & dry on a DA Sander and very lightly removed all the paid on the main tubes, but was unable to get into all the tight areas, so used Nitromoors Paint Stipped to get into these areas. Cannondale...

Day 2 : The Strip Down............... Ordered a few components so I have them ready and not having to wait for them when I'm ready to start putting her back together. Having spent the last two days browsing the web, I decided that the Deore T610 components will do what I need, without spending...

I'm no youngster, but spent many of my younger years working in the cruise industry on ships that tended to visit Alaska in the summer months and allowed me to go biking over some great trails. My first venture into mountain biking was around 1996 when I purchased my first mountain bike, a...

I cut up a 22mm socket, a lot of hacksawing and it doesn’t look pretty, but does the job perfectly with no damage to the damper.
