aye mate once i've managed to get off the couch and into the shower i'll be off out to look at some nitromors at the local diy shop, i suppose i could set that going this a fternoon in the yard before it starts to rain

cheers Josh was have a quick blast through the wiki last night, the sun is out today, although the wind is kicking up and i promised i'd be somewhere for 7pm, so if i'm going to do anything worth while to this bike today i'll need to get my arse in gear! Will update with a picture or two later methinks

thanks for your imput ol Just going over the bits now, I picked it up pretty cheap, so i knew there would be a few defects here and there. After having a propper look at it this afternoon i've noticed: Back wheel has a slight buckle, Advice on pulling it out? Needs a new bottom arm on the crank by the looks of things, as i dont want to take the more or less the frame into a bike shop, can anyone advise me on what i need to ask for (size wise), and i can go and pick the bits up tomorow at some point

awesome guys cheers. Just having a look around the forums now, will jump onto the wiki in a bit. Not a bad place to settle down i think

Hi mate, thanks for the speedy reply, i had planned on starting this bike today, but the english weather has gotten the best of me and started to rain. What you've said there was pretty much what i had in mind, but didn't want to jump in and f**k something so early in the build. But, pardon my ignorance, What is your dp? Thankie

Hey guys, The bike i've just picked up recently is in a pretty poor sight cosmetically, the livery is all scratched to hell and back and the paint has well and trully seen better days. I'm after advice on painting really. I've managed to get the rest of the stickers off by using a heat gun at a distance, which has worked a treat. Now i'm prepairing to paint the frame. I need advice on this.. Do i need to prepair the surface in any way? I have a guy feeling it will need a couple of coats of primer first, then my chosen colour on top. Do i need to do any sort of roughing up to the surface? (ie: sanding down) any help is accepted :> Daveypoo

S'up guys, I'm from the teesside area (middlesbrough). Have been out of the loop for quite some time, i used to ride mod when i was younger and took a 5 year break, I've just picked up a Mission Reefa(?) from a mate as a project to tidy up and get back in working condition, i thought now would be a good time to join an active comunity for help and advice, and hopefully i can give something back in return.
