It was fair game - you took too long.

Yeah that old bike of yours would be a nice frame to happen on now Mel, probably very similar to mine for geometry. I initially had designs on getting some disc tabs welded on to run a disc on the rear, but my problem is getting a 110mm wide hub, that is disc compatible. I dont believe such a thing is available at this time, though would be happy to be proved wrong.
The hydraulic Magura rim brake is great, first time I have tried such a thing and I am happy with it

Yup, used to have an HS33 on the back of my 4.5 Keewee... was awesome, but my shitty disc brake is even better.

The Sunn was some kind of cromo, so would have made modification (with disc tabs) quite simple.

[moan]Aw, I wanna build up a 'proper' SS bike, but can't justify it as I am doing hardly any riding at all. *sigh* Oh well, something to look forward to when I am riding again..... [/moan]

Don't worry, I have 3 'proper' bikes, and barely ride at all

Theres no such thing as excess bikes

This 'wife' idea of yours is foreign to me
I'm probably moving into a 3 bedroom flat just to have a bike room

I did like your SS Dented, did you like mine

I shall post up pics of mine in the morning before I pull the forks off for servicing

New pic of my SS
with the new forks and a 26" rear wheel.
Weight is 12.2kg not bad for a jump bike, not that I can jump
