Hi again guys , Thanks for heads up on the cable guides , I have purchased some and they are a lot neater and better . well I finally gave the bike a ride out which was great but had to cut it short due to a fork issue, its making a clunking noise on the rebound . I’ve just removed the damper...

Cool thanks , I’ll check these out :) also, on your candy red.. I would use stick on guides for the middle of the hydro line. https://jagwire.com/products/small-parts/stick-on-guides

Ok thanks for letting me know about the non lockout . Will wait until the weather improves and take it for a blast ..

Thanks , and yes I’ll post this in the Gallery . I have a question regarding the headshock forks lock out/ damper. I’m not sure if mine ever had a lockout but when I serviced them (over year ago now) every thing went all ok , now they are assembled and working they on have the damper adjustment...

It been a long time but I’ve now finished the build .

It’s a candy Red , im not sure the colour code but it’s a super chrome base coat with the red on top . I don’t have any period correct parts so I’ll be using a mixture or parts that came of my old stumpy , sram x7 triple 9 speed , Shimano hollow tech Chainset, Mavic cross trail rims , avid...

So here’s the frame back with it’s new powder coat . The forks are also now mounted after some very painstaking hours to assemble them correctly .

Ok thanks black lightening , you’ve been a great help and just what I needed. So Ive just ordered my powder coat from prismatic , now it’s just wait unti it arrives then send it all off for powdering. I’ll report back when it’s done and hopefully have the forks mounted and working . Thanks...

Ok thanks , yes that does make sense I’m planning to build it up , it won’t be stock though as i only have the Stem , seat pin & Clamp. The rest will be a mixture from my old Specialized stumpjumper, SRAM 9 Speed groupset, mavic cross ride, wheels & probably avid juicy hydraulics. The hardest...

Thanks black lightening , but what about the serial number LG , Brian has dated it as the 2000 model , L=2000 , G=July . Looking at the 2000 catalogue and disregarding the colour ive come up with these three which have the super fatty DL forks. F800 Full Caliper & disc mounts F700 No...

Hi black lightening , yes I did consider that as well , but then I ruled it out after noticing the top tube cable guide is sat underneath the tube rather than on the top. Mine & both the F600 & F700 are on top. And I’ve noticed that I still have two very small remnants of red paint just on...

A few more with the shaped ring in position

About that worn part in the fork, Here’s some pics.. You can see some burring around the inside of the collar, I think this piece caused one of needle bearings to migrate downwards and broke it. I’m wondering wether to assemble again like this or wether to insert that cassette spacer...

So Ive had search through those catalogues and although I can find any geometry I think I have narrowed it to these two which both came in viper red colour and both disc compatible. 2000 F700 caad3 Weight 3.7 lbs Headshok fatty fork DL 70mm air sprung / oil damp travel 2001 F600 caad3 Weight...

Great thanks Brian , I’ll take a look at those and check the measurements , the paint remnants are red as you say . Yes I have all the parts to rebuild the forks, I purchased a set of new needle bearings as one of the old strips had broke . Its been a few months now since I stripped the forks so...

Hi all, I wondered if anyone can help ID my frame please. I have briefly done some research online but I’m still not 100% sure on the model, I’ve been informed that it may be from around 1999 - 2001 era and possibly one of the F series ? The serial number does’nt really relate to any on the data...
