Haha yes I have now just realised that error I made, I did mean bullmoose!

In regards to the Thorn forks the one i have just placed an order for the Thorn Sherpa 26er wich should look pretty sweet, I measured the a2c of my sus fork and its only about a 5cm difference wich should lower the front end a little but not enough that the steering is made too twitchy.

First purchase from the bay arrived today, a pretty moderate condition Turbo saddle only paid £15 so not too bad going.

First thing to clean was the slightly rusted rails, but a scrub with some tinfoil left them looking like new. There was some peeling at the front that I used a little superglue on to keep it down, and a slight tear on the left side of the nose that I filled with some shoe goo and squeezed down so all is looking good now.

I do have one question for anyone that has restored old saddles though, towards the back is the usual scuff from years of use and whatnot, that see to have been given the shoe polish treatment, is there anything else I can do to make it look a little less scuffed and for that matter to just give the whole saddle a little love?

These look great!

Funny you mention the sus corrected as there currently is a thorn one on sjs at the mo, think I’m going to go with a non sus though reckon it won’t change the handling too majorly if anything it’ll be a little more agile (Hopefully!) got a good deal on a Thomson worse case I’ll throw it on the fixed gear! Will have a look on eBay though. Yeah definitely excited to see how this one turns out!

Edit: I am now merging this thread to include my other builds to save on making separate threads!

Recently acquired a bit of a hodgepodge Rockhopper 95” for free wanted to build it up as a bit of a town cruiser/slightly more capable of off roading than my fixed.

First things first was getting the bike from Brighton up to London this part wasn’t too hard, then it was onto completely stripping the bike down to just the frame everything went surprisingly smoothly even though it had been stored in the damp sea air for however many years.

Just as I was about to take the cranks and bottom bracket off I came to a brick wall the crank arms were stripped inside and the bb was stuck. Eventually I managed to wrangle the drive side off and then attempted with a seatpost over my wrench for extra leverage to free the bb still to no luck, I was going to try out a bolt through my bb tool onto the crank bolt hole to keep the tool attached but couldn’t find a suitable bolt, so off to seabass it went to get removed, what a great job they did leaving me with the frame a mangled crank and a rusted bb.

Now to plan the build, I managed to keep a few parts of the parts off of the bike
STX rear derailleur
Deore lx front derailleur

The rest I will have to have a search on the bay.

My plan so far

Selle italia Turbo saddle
Thomson seatpost annoyingly the frame has a 30.4 seat tube so might shim it down
Swap out the v brakes for some cantis
Some 3x7 shifter brake combo
Not sure on tyres yet wanted some gravel kings but availability seems scarce
Nitto bullmoose bars
Swap the duff suspension fork maybe for a thorn 26er fork

Hopefully have it finished by early next year will keep updated when some orders come in!

Bottom bracket sorted still on the look out for the cantis

On the lookout for a nice 73mm 113mm axel Bottom Bracket for my Rockhopper, preferably a un55 but open to whats out there as the shop supply seems to be thin on 73mm bb's at the minute. Also looking for a set of cantilever brakes Deore would be nice but not looking for anything too pricey.
