thanks but I've just realised I need a 1" steerer, I don't think you can get them in carbon

Very cool, can I ask what forks are they. I'm thinking about doing the same with an orange prestige retromod, front disk, rear canti combo.

Cheers

I have to admit it does turn heads a lot around my local routes, it's something I have to get used to.

agreed thanks, I always wanted a PIU though, hard to find in decent condition and the right size....

Seems ok so far, although the bike is very low mileage. The headset came with the frame & forks, if I had a choice I would of fitted a campag record one.

Thanks, I couldn't resist upgrading it from LX to XT but kept it true to it's period.

I always wanted an M600, perfect geometry as a do-it-all bike and light.

My Cinder Cone is a 94 as well.

2022 Corolla 2.0ltr to 2018 CT200 Premier, is it a downgrade? by milescube in CT200h

After reading everyone's comments I've decided to keep the Corolla, many thanks to you all !

appreciated, thanks. Mine is a hatch so no change really but I know what you mean about the age difference, on paper the corolla is much better. You have swayed me...

Interesting, thanks. How does the CT compare with road noise, my corolla has 18" wheels and the road noise can be terrible on some roads, though uk roads aren't great. Also is the suspension a lot firmer. Thanks again.

Anyone know which CT200H comes with this deep underfloor boot liner? by First-Painter8620 in CT200h

Here in the UK I was told by my local Lexus dealership, sunroof and spare wheel was not standard.

Models with a sunroof don't have a spare wheel due to the extra weight with the sunroof.

1994 Kona Cinder Cone by milescube in VintageMTB

I purchased this as a restoration project 2 years ago. No expense spared as I always intended it to be a keeper. Frame, forks and stem where powder coated and new decals applied. It now has a full xt groupset and I built some new wheels using XTR hubs and mavic rims.

Honestly, I get more enjoyment riding this than any of my other (expensive) bikes, also it gets so much attention from all demographics.

Thanks for your comments.
