Nice!

a. Are the tyres worth the price?
b. Where the hell can I order them?

This hides at the back of my basement, it's in very good condition, I just put a new gold chain on it as I get bored easy, rode it to the shop to get some beer and defo looks bling. I can take recent photos if there is interest but it looks the same (apart from the de-stickered rims, mavic branding is ugly as sin).

12 year old thread... Has anyone ordered from Freshtripe recently? They have the VO stem I want but they also charge £9 delivery :'(

Was wondering why the drivetrain was "knocking".

SOLD.

Perfect

Best place to order power tools from that has decent customer service? Need to buy a drill for general DIY (Makita probs).

The mounting tape I could actually see working nicely, might order some and give it a go!

Tyre clearance on these old specialized frames is generous, you could run 2.3" easily. Maybe even bigger at the back if running singlespeed. Only issue is I need to deflate the front tyre to get the wheel through the v brakes...

Anyone had a similar issue and solved it with a better looking solution?

I have this Muddy Fox in storage at work... hoping I can access it soon so I can convert it to singlespeed. It's surprisingly fun to ride.

Sold to @jepblep pending collection.

So on my eternal quest of trying to build a bike I like from an old steel frame...

Hardrock frame from 93? Couldn't colour match the frame with the catalogue.

Bought a few bits and bobs, mainly modern deore groupset, 10 speed! Also some wheels with a dynamo, cool.

The main aim was to get it built so I could get a feel for size and what handlebars I want.

Main gripes are the seapost + clamp situation, does not look good. As it is a 26.6mm post it's very hard to source a good looking one.

I'm hoping I can remove the branding from the seat post and eventually I'll just replace the quick release with a bolt.

The other annoyance is the absence of a rear cable stop which makes running v brakes untidy, there is a "problem solver" clamp on cable stop but at £19 I can't bring myself to buy...

Will be changing the stem, probably velo orange with removable faceplate so I can run some crazy bars or Geoff's.

Need a new saddle, hoping I can test drive some soon.

I was surprised at how nice this build turned out, now I don't want to ride it and it lives in my basement, sad!

£320 ono, there is some nice bits on here, the bars especially. The groupset, seat post and bottle cage are original, win.

Pickup from Walthamstow, no splits, no postage.

Rockhopper frame 18" I'm 5ft 11 and you can see the seat post stem set up
36 spoke Mavic D521 SUP rims
Shimano Deore LX (HB-M550) hubs
Nitto bullmoose bars (mint)
Scwalbe table top tyres (great)
Turbo saddle (mint)
Race Face lock-on grips
Suntour XC Expert groupset (3x8 speed)

Anyone got some lying around they don't need?

I'll let the next in dibs queue get it; might buy the new one!

Looks great, nice to get a bit or personality on a bike! I think when you buy spray.bike you know the quality will never be amazing but... good fun either way.

How come you didn't do a full base coat? I would have also applied 2 coats of each colour with a wet sand in between each coat (but does increase cost) to get a smoooth finish.

If you do it again I'd get some Frog tape for the masking, you could also use vinyl shapes .

Anyone got a spare 26.6mm(...) seatpost?

Ah bloody hell take my dibs on the camera.

Recommend something like the 7 minute HiiT workout (it's a 7 minute circuit which you can do as many times as you want) to get your heart rate up and after stretch your glutes (back ache is rarely your actual back that is the cause), I use a foam roller which I also recommend having on hand.

I goto my osteopath often with back problems and the above is always my "homework".

Sounds good to me, I'd be after the following:

Wheels w/ tyres
Groupset (brakes, chainset etc)

Would you be up for splitting? A few bits on the bike I'd be interested in (Groupset and wheels)

Anyone got a cheap workstand e.g. the Aldi one that they are not using?

I would be interested in the frameset and the brakes.

Wish you could put mudguards on this(?). Would be a great commuter.
