Thanks for all the replies...I appreciate all the information.

Special Thanks to FrankD3000 and ShovelOn for the IMs.

For those interested...I posted some pics of my bike in the gallery. I just got the bike back tonight so these are just some quick pics with bad indoor lighting. Better ones to come. Is it a '98?

Thanks Again

Andrew

PS The bike rode beautifully back from the shop and I am  real excited to use it everyday. From the looks of it it seems to be all original. Any more info for me?

Wow, from the pics your 2000 looks in great shape.

Have fun,
Terry

Pretty sure thats a 98 model (9 style frame)

Anyway thats a stunning looking bike you've got there.
Enjoy  .

Simon.

Wow Fio - that Copper really looks great!

Nice bike by the looks of it.

Take a look at my Gallery again, page 2 - I took a few pics of my old Noleen coil-overs for reference. Read up and see what you have. I can't tell from your pics. (no offense!)

I see what you mean now with the "road wheels". Those aappear to be the stock 26" wheels on there. You wouldn't be able to still use the stock v-brakes with 700C wheels. So, that means that you're best bet would probably be to use the tips I suggested and see what suits your needs in the 26" tire range.

What tires (and size) are on there now? Do the rims have any stickers left on them? They'll probably be Sun Rims, maybe CR-18.

I don't think you need to worry about anything other than the following;

1) the bike fits you properly. If not then spend the money on what's needed to get you there. Remember, when you're fitting yourself on the bike you do the seat height/position FIRST (!!!), then see what/if you need a new stem.

2) ride it and respect it. If you take care of your bike it will take care of you (to an extent of course).

3) tires. I blabbed enough about this in the I.M.'s already.

Ummm, Fio, you're not serious about leaving that bike locked up outside while you work in the day all unattended, RIGHT?!
