Been googling e-stay frames and a Nishiki would be the dreamm.. !

I had the same idea for that frame haha. Can't wait to see the build!

Cheers mate, much appreciated!

Thanks for link, I hadn't seen it, but too small for me. What size is yours? Is 2.25s maxed out or space to squeeze mudguards in?

Cheers, yeah my kona is 1991 and will take 2.1 but no more so that make sense tbf. But my rockhopper takes 2.3's with room to spare. I guess that must be a rare exception then. Feels bad to be saying keep saying no but will leave the scott frame, thanks mate.

Thanks dude. I think the 1 1/4 headset is gonna cause more issues than its worth for what I had in mind. Gutted as looks rad :( Hopefully @Muddyfox69 takes it

Cool frame! Google tells me the steerer 1 1/4 inch, is this right? How much tyre clearance is there in the rear? Thanks

Hi dude, thanks but not quite what I'm looking for

After a frame for a new project. Mate of mine is making a cargo fork for me, which I was going to put on my kona lava dome, but after deciding cargo forks on bikes with sloped top tubes look weird I'm after a different frame. Criteria is horizontal-ish top, 1 1/8th steerer and decent rear tyre clearance (wanna fit 2.3s in there) extra points for kool paint job. 90s rockhopper/stumpjumper, trek 990/970/950 would be perfect for example but open to options.. would love an e-stay, think they look rad, especially nishiki. Based in Bristol for collection ideally but will pay postage if got something nice for a good deal :) frame size 20 inch

Look fcken awesome dude. Loved following this build. The rear brake noodling is genius btw, wish I had thought of that

No longer needed

Interested in 26"s if sale doesn't work out with pastry_bot

Are the brakes all long drop? Will take the lot if yes. (with postage)

Edit: just saw bit about PMs

Bit late reply i realise, but I did this, on balance pretty pleased with end result, depends how much bodging you're up for.

Drilled hole in the cable guide, then bigger hole to seat a cable ferrule, then clear sprayed. Had some ferrules which had a solid end so I could file down to smaller diameter to fit in the small hole. Found that because i just used hand held drill and normal drill bit that ferrule didn't quite seat right so ended up using a supporting cable tie to tuck it nicely.

Frame is 95 rockhopper.

Looks real sweet dude. Got a 91 lava dome which ive gone pretty similar direction with! Although i did go 1x in the end

Thats mine! :)

Lol, i recked them falling down some stairs so were no good as normal shoes anymore. So took out the laces and use them as 'outdoor slippers'

Its a Rockhopper ('95 i think), picked it up a few weeks ago! single speed conversion in progress :)

Hi-tech chain line alignment device!

Reckon the pruning saw is included to remove the locks? Lol
