Very nice, sweet restoration. I own three, the Haro in my sig, a Cannondale SE2000 and a Yeti Ultimate. There is a ti-mega for sale at the moment on the bay.

Magura HS 22 race line slave cylinder help.

I'm looking for a Magura HS 22 race line slave cylinder/calliper (one side - L/H not the bleed side) in fluro yellow if anyone has such a beast lying around.
I have a stripped thread in one of my Magura HS 22 race line slave cylinders and have tried a variety of different fixers to no avail.
My next step to take is to tap it out and find a bolt that I can adapt to make it all work again, but I don't really want to do that.
If you have the above item and want to give it up send me a MP, thanks.

I had one of those. Super flexi. I ripped a front mech off once when it clipped the tyre during a climb.

Well...at least my frame is close to vintage. Build finished, and up in PYR.
Im fucking stoked, me.

The Orange looks good.

I have pretty much finished my Kona Sex Too today, below is an image at it about 80% done. Was to dark to get a decent pic with it ready to ride. Went for a quick spin around the bike path and I think it's a winner. So much better than the smaller Kona Hardtail I was on previously.

what you think?

 

[floody]

Hell yeah!

I remember seeing one of those Rotecs at the Interschools championships at Mt Buller, maybe '98? Looked like a freaking spaceship. So looooooooooooong.

 

[Mywifesirrational]

The wheels alone my god!!

Yeah they could finance a whole bike, wish I had a set. For that matter I wish I owned the bike, although I would prefer an ARC ASLT if any one has one. Like Missy's, now owned by theproscloset ebay store.

Do the Hed wheels / rims have value? I've got a dusty set in the garage, must be more close to 18 years old. First carbon bicycle item I ever owned, the weight from memory is abysmal.

 

[floody]

Nah worthless, I'll take them off your hands, even pay postage
:llama:

They'd probably look nice on something like a San Andreas or even a GT STS. Maybe I could show you

$500 o.b.o

$500 o.b.o

Gutted I would of snapped that up in a flash if I saw it, I hate Gumtree its the Bogans ebay and you cant narrow searches down as well as ebay.

 

[floody]

I think it was like $500. Not bad, they were $18,500 new.

Seriously ? bikes were that expensive over here then ? $3999 was max back in the uk

When the MBI magazine was around they had an £8000 Colella Viper in their 1998 calendar edition!

I think sintesi ended up buying them out not soon after.
