Well, provisionally I am intererested - let's see who else chips in. Can I put word around on other forums like www.retrobike.co.uk?


S'all good.  Just let them know nothing is set in stone until the money is committed. This thing may sell to someone else before we get anything organized.

I would be interested in the swingarm and complete front forks if it does not work out for Orange. Thanks for taking the time to help us all out. Brad.

mizunole you need to post the actual address of a particular pic...the most reliable way seems to be to right click a pic and use the address that shows up there under properties

Well, just as we thought it was over, the roller coaster contnues.  The other buyer bailed and I snapped it up when the seller dropped the price.  I am parting it and selling it to recover the price and upgrade some other stuff.

Shovelon, Orange and Willie B, if you are still interested, I will not sell the swingarm, strut or fork untiil next Sunday or until you have emailed me what you think a fair price would be for those parts.  

Those and others I will be selling on ebay are posted on  http://www.flickr.com/photos/11178241@N02/
.  I will monitor this thread for any offers anyone else wants to give.

Perfect timing... maybe. I just snapped my rear shock mount and bent the strut this morning. (Crazy side loads are not good for strut shocks.)
If it's available, I'll bid on the rear shock. If Terry changes his mind, I'll throw a bid for the strut too.

I'll let you know when Terry let's me know.  I will talk with both of you before posting on ebay or I will post next Sunday.  (I already have the shifters @$25, the LX canti's @$25 and a wheelset @$50 (kept the gold Mavics for myself!).

I think that Terry just wanted a spare so you may want to sweet talk him.  

I am not sure what I am selling the shock for yet, but if I am not mistaken, you have first dibs.  My email should work under contact info and I will take offers on what you think is reasonable.

BTW, what type of shock was it? I have an extra Noleen dampener (without cone or spring) that works (but is a little leaky.)  Since I bought my Risse, and I only XC, I doubt I will need it.

Willie-B - you have the forks if you want them - I've just blown a bit of cash elsewhere and need to recoup! Thanks anyway for the heads up!

Yep, I could pass it forward it to Will.

Will if yours is not to bent, it could be bent back. Have done it all to often myself.:-)

So, what is your plan for the front triangle? The whole frameset is a peach.

$20 + shipping to TX and it is yours...

No dings that I saw, just some down tube scratches.
