haha yeah , usually pink one you never thought you owned :/ thanks for the comments , might just keep this look for the summer now , spray it another time

im pretty sure clive made the bump as i think it was porter (not 100% on that ) ripped the headtube off a 660. basically it has two head tubes, to soaks up impacts , like a sock absorber .

Getting my frame sprayed soon , so thought id have a little fun with it before i do . loverly x Spec: leeson 609 bump with reverse mount pashley forks . chrome rhyno lite rims pro2 trials and pro2 front schwalbe table top rear and KHE MAC2 front vee set up of avid speed dial lever with avid sd7 brakes (yellow tnn's on rear) hope 90mm stem with 2.5 rise azonic double walls middleburn RS7 eclat pivotal seat xtr shifter and rear mech . hope you like!

loverly!!! classic bike brought back to life , i still think the 26mhz rides amazingly ! i want one again!!!!! x

looks loverly mate , would be a hell of a lot lighter without those hookworms , but they are a fun street tyre , enjoy man!

Yummy x

just got my leeson 609 up and running and wana hit the streets . anyone around the mk area? grant

sorry please close

havent seen any HS24 maguras since martyn ashton rode for cannondale! looks like a nice ride , though i think you might find the front wheel a lil heavy. grant

spantabulouse! im liking how the 24 market is growing . enjoy!

im still running a old octalink set of xtr cranks , work fine but wouldnt say they are as durable as the newer LX crank . only thing i would say is you will need you BB faced with the HT2 BB system .

wicked , love the 'rat' look single speed , red walled tier's are nice . lugged fork on road frame would look nice too .

Over size tubes look cool! and stiff as a dead pole cat! love the rs sidehops too! lucky man , nice to have a bike with a bit of a story to it good post . grant

looks good tris , but not liking the fact your riding a little girls bike x

nah looks pickers mate x

like!! why dose it have a UST rear tyer? x

LOL LOL LOL

i dont see why car disc brake cleaner wouldnt work , but somtimes automotive products can be of a higher concetrate . buy the sounds of things , id get the disc mount face (a circular cutting bit cuts the face of the disc mount flush with the axle so it will run true) , all good bike shops will have one , id say id lend you mine , but would cost a bit on postage! maybe push the pistons back into the caliper to re-lube the piston (be carefull doing this and take the pads out as you dont want to damage the breaking surface , put old pads in or somthing to stop the pistons getting damaged. hope you get it sorted mate

ive only use one brand so cant really compare , but goodridge have always been great for what ever break , though the goodridge HS33 kit dosent come with fittings for the cross over hose , so you would need to specify the fittings you would need , but that dose mean you can colour code it

Same forks im running , never had the problem with them , mine have been all over the place , taken a beating and just sailed through! usually a pair on ebay for a good price as said.

I can see why you would want to do , but i think if hope havent made it , that there is no point in trying to bodge somthing together . sounds like a huge amount of work for somthing that i doubt will work well and will have to be built onto a over dished wheel, just wont last . sorry to give a negative point of view , just think there a probably better options out there.

The phrase 'CLEAN' comes to mind , not normally a mod fan but this is really nice. g

the squealing from you break is most likley from break dust and the pads vibrating . all you need is some good disc break cleaner (white lightning metal prep is good stuff) and give the break a once over , although it is safe to spray the pads with disc break cleaner , i wouldnt recommend it as you will have to bed them in again. also i cant remember exactly what the piston are like on that break , but as they are magnetic and dont have a spring it might be worth while dabbing a little copper slip or titanium anti seize on the face of the piston so it stick to the pad and it will return with the piston better . those are just things i would try . grant
