Re: Let me know how you get on with the decals (eps?) as I could do with a new set for my identical 92 Lightning Pro, glad you are rescuing this one :)

Yer he had it up for £650 or something to start with. I paid £325 delivered. Nice collection you have in your sig, another 92 Lightning :) I still have the receipt etc from mine, picked it up from ATB in St Leonards (the importer) in 94, it had been sitting in the warehouse, was a dealer demo...

Re: N+1 is the correct number of bikes to own... :roll: Arrived yesterday, rode it after work. Will be changing stem, saddle and post for more suitable ones even if not original. Will clean up some of the rust spots and touch up for now, rest of it fine, Nexus needs a tweak cable wise but is...

Re: Doesn't get out much since being retired from active duty but as all my modern bikes were broken :roll: I took her out for a ride a couple of weekends ago :)

Cool, a few of my friends had Sky's in 1992, for some reason at the time when I wanted a new bike I went to Halfords and bought a Raliegh Apex.....it was only in 94 when I wandered into ATB to see if they had any cosmetic second Marins that I spotted the Lightning Pro and had it, still have the...

I was watching that and forgot to bid doh, you got a bargain! Want to sell your Ignaz X? :)

wow those decals are amazing, did they cost much? I would be interested in getting some for my Lightning Pro (would need the XTR bit changing to Pro heh). For some reason mine only has that Lightning Pro sticker on one side of the top tube, were they all like this? dent doesn't look too bad...

Congratulations on finally finding one :)

Cheers for that, bit expensive :( I will have a think... :)

Hijack: Where did you get the pair of them from? I can only see them at bike-discount.de but out of stock for ages :( cheers

Quite simply the best thread yet on here! I was honoured to meet you Joe at the recent Bike Radar Live show. I think I may have shocked your son intially as I ran up to him so quickly when I spotted him on the new Lightning, probably thought I was going to try and take it :oops: :lol...

Couple of more recent photos.

I went on Saturday. Just after the entrance I spotted a teenager on a new Lightning so I ran over to him and started babbling on, poor kid looked a bit shocked heh. Anyway, got talking about the bike then he mentioned that his dad is around at which point I twig and say "Joe Breeze is your dad?"...

Hi Im after a 1" threadless aheadset, silver, new or as new and it must be ISO standard ie 30.2mm cup outer diameter and 26.4mm crown race inner diameter I have a silver almost new JIS spec one to swap if interested, thats 30mm cup outer and 27mm crown race inner but also comes with a 26.4...

This is unbelievable. I just attempted to fit a 1" threadless headset I got off here a while ago into my Breezer only to find that it seems to be a JIS one (threadless not mentioned in Sheldon Brown link though) so the cups are 0.2mm too small doh (although oddly it came with a spare race which...
