lewis, where's the best place to get retro biked parts? i wouldn't mind restoring my 98 specialised back to original spec and sticking it on a cycleops

[lewis1641]

Either scour ebay or stick a wanted ad  up on www.retrobike.co.uk

cheers, yeah they are wicked bikes. Went on a 5 mile ride on my mates and was sold! granted his was the Dune RR though but its just components, the frames are the same. I can't believe how well it climbs with 160mm travel!

found the right stem for a tenner on retrobikes already

Just going forward, it would be nice if admins posted their reasons for closing a thread before they do so, as a courtesy to others

Had another 23 mile blast today. Went out with someone for the first time who is a seasoned xc rider. I tried keeping up but on the hills he was in a different league, he was training for hill climbs and basically meeting me at the top then we would continue. Needless to say I am f**ked and have a looooonnngg way to go! Nice and muddy though and found some new single track to tank through
