I managed to grab a set of HS33 Quicksilvers cheap today. They do need a fair bit of work. Here is the listing, I did warn they are needing TLC https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/184372021567 Does anyone knows the RAL colour of them originally? Plan is to strip, gut, clean them, ditch the hose and fittings (replace them with new). Ideally respray them, anyone got any tips on the slaves and the piston. Best way to protect them, no option to remove I believe. Would be nice to have have them stamped saying Magura etc but a decal might be better. Cheers

Spotted this post the other day so sorry to dig up and old topic. I have the above frame. It’s done the rounds a lot. James (Student) had it, Dave the rocket, Leon also rode it for a while, then Luke (Toby) and finally my self. It was nicknamed the coke can due to the dent on the bottom side of the downtube. If I recall if you used the left foot forward it would sound like a coke can. It’s been in the top of the garage for a few years. Before the last respray it had the brake mounts removed so was disc only. I quickly threw some bits on it to show it off. It’s now back on the garage roof. Hope the photos are of use. Would see it if anyone wanted to make an offer

A few of the guys I use to ride with had a set of Saracen Chrome forks that looked like the USE ones. I can’t find anything like that as well sadly. Even a stock pair of Pashley forks would do but likes hens teeth

Doesn’t look to be much of the old school stuff around. Even a stock pair of the originals. Would really like a set of Fattys

Just dug this old frame from the garage. It’s been so long I forget what the various build options have been and what looked plus worked best. What does everyone recommend.
