Jealousy is a curse.
I own a modified 07 Reign 1, a $475 80's Paino Road bike and a 97 Specialized Hardrock (ooh and a BMX). NONE of these bikes add up to the price of a similar spec Moorewood, Orange, Yeti, Banshee, Nicolai, Transition (insert porn bike here).
To the haters (lol): You're obviously not reading (something you should have learnt by the age of 6-7yrs). If you could read, you would have read that I have decided to respect the bike and pretty much "restore" it.
Here's a pic of it as of 5 minutes ago (still waiting for another white tyre for the rear but not 100% on whether the white will work or not):
(yes that's the Scale in the box, sold and ready to go to Melbourne today).
And with any old bike, you HAVE to strip it in order to restore parts in any case (and besides I like to experiment). Taking those parts off not only helped me to clean them, but also to get to know the bike some more (I'm also putting a full spec list together via Google help ).
PS: It's great to be back
PPS: I've had a mental shift. I'm now loving the Farkin haters!

Also keen on Ti bolts(will pay)
Great to see you're restoring it, I have a handful of old roadies waiting for love, please be sure to post any tips or contacts you find.
White tires look weird, did it run them i the day? I liked the black seat better also.
PM me if you need any tips on reving up haters,I've got it down pat

HAHA. It's OK about the haters. I'm happy with how much riding I'm doing. 2-3 trail rides a week is a luxury which I'm definitely very lucky to have and I'm definitely doing more riding than posing (or trawling through other people's old threads to quote out of context, or photoshopping funny images or writing bitchy keyboard warrior remarks).Great to see you're restoring it, I have a handful of old roadies waiting for love, please be sure to post any tips or contacts you find.

I'm no Sam Hill but I'm a better rider at 33yrs old than I was when I was 18! That makes me happy.
The bike didn't run white tyres in the day. The tyres were ordered for the purple wheelset which I never got around to ordering. Same with the saddle. I'll leave them all on for now though. The saddle's a gel thing and it should be good for the Gong ride in a couple of weeks from now.
TI BOLTS: Sorry buys but every single Ti bolt on that Scott Scale stays on that Scot Scale. The bike was sold as is for $3k.
In regards to restoring tips: I re-found the guy that does amazing paint jobs on old frames. His name is Peter and he runs a shop called Star Enamellers.

He specialises in the old school. Painting details, lugs, etc. He can also remake decals.
Another place for classic decals is:

I've found a lot of the Campy gear on eBay (search for "NOS") and damn if you add it all up the value is double that of what I paod for the bike so I've definitely been lucky to find a bike with such great gear on it.

I've tried a few bolts, some from Asian sellers which were way shit (in appearance, fit and weight) in comparisson to the bolts from the shop link above.

arghh, whilst a fixie may be tempting dont do what so many do an slaughter this nice in tact old school bike
keep deep v's far far away srom this bike, maybe slap on some open pros or even aeroheads, and concentrate on things like a new paint job (white looks great, maybe even make a bit more of the feature of world cup stripes) and really the best thing to do to this bike is to strip it and spend the hard yards polishing, and restoring all the parts, even though most look like they are in good nick.
also as far as a seat goes, you got to keep it old scool and get a rolls on there

I reckon the white tyres on both front and back would look pretty cool in a retro kind of way. I've been thinking of a cheap cruiser too for rides down to Manly along the beach front. Something retro and cheap, but not so roadie, would be a great 2nd bike.
Call me when you're out at the Dam next. My leg is at the stage when I can go for light(ish) rides now.

Will hit you up Ben when I'm at the Dam next. Most likely next Wednesday (the usual). Regarding a cheap retro cruiser. Check this 29'er. You can order it through TBSM for just over $500AUD. Looks lovely for the money me thinks.

Yeah that Kona is pretty cool. Might have to scour eBay too. A 29'er or even a 650B would be good.
Looking forward to hearing about your 'Gong ride also. So you ride every Wednesday? During work hours or a bit later now that it's daylight savings?
Anyway send me a PM as I don't want to hijack your build thread.
