I may have to service the fork (give me strength)
Have you done this before? If not, I'll give you the skinny on what to do... and probably more importantly what not to do :)
Fork boot looks woeful, hope no water has got in.
Otherwise you are lucky - that frame / fork has IS disc tabs. Frame looks in OK shape, too.
Howard-
Tx for the offer :)
Nope never done it :(It goes up and down but squeaks a bit. The headset is gone very grindy so it probably hasn't been maintained for a while. I didn't see any holes in the fork boot so hopefully all good.

I picked up a medium 1998 Caad4 F1000 MTB yesterday :)
Needs work, headset is grindy, I may have to service the fork (give me strength), the front wheel is a POS that doesn't match but, the left coda crank is now a shimano600... it has a 9 speed Deore XT/LX mix, a lockable fatty D fork, some bubbling under paint but no dents etc.
Couldn't resist for £75 and wanted a wee project. n+1... :)
