Ok will do. I realised just after posting that there was a separate section for this kind of thing. Thanks for being so polite

Hi guys, Just wondered whether anyone has an older Cotic Soul for sale. I'd go for the newer version but moneys a bit tight at the moment and thought it may be cheaper to get one with the horrible v brake bosses on... Just kidding, I don't think they're that horrible as long as you're gonna...

Thanks for that MikeD. Do you have any pics of the MuddyFox? Does it have any original graphics still on it. Mine says Carbon on the junction that joins the seatpost to the seatstays. It also says X-clusive wishbone written on the seatstays. Maybe they're just aftermarket stickers but...

Hi guys. Thanks for all the input so far. Hirosawa, I know what you're saying and don't worry about my hopes getting dashed about it not being a Salsa or a Bonty. All I know is that it's one of the best that I've had so far (been through many of the top rated rides such as P7, Maxlight, Zaskar...

Hi guys, Just been out on the trail today on the (what I thought was a Clockwork) and during the ride I met my Bike-Mechanic teacher whom I've not seen in while. I asked if he could shed some more light on my frame and after a quick look he seemed to think it may be a Ritchey frame (or...

Maybe not an Orange Clockwork afterall this post has been moved to another thread...

Sorry, I might have forgotten to add: I've added pics of the seat and chainstays to my gallery as well as head tube. The seatpost outer diameter is 28.6mm and I think I'm running a 28.6mm seatpost (if this size is critical then I can get out my calipers and check it again). Any info (if it's...

Hi guys, Firstly to answer FluffyChickens question regards why I want longer travel. Truth is I don't want anymore than what I have now with the Fox Vanilla and which I'm now happy with. Truth is the only reason why I considered putting the (2007) 130 Menjas on it is because I'm dismantling...

Just thought I'd give an update on the Clcokwork with the 100mm Vanilla RL. Ridden up some pretty rugged hills now and the front end stays down properly. Maybe it's not a pre98 model after all, as I spoke to the nice gentleman at StrangeLove Cycles who owns an 80s model. He stated that the older...

Thanks for that guys. I will stick with the 100mm Vanilla based on what you've said and keep the Magura Menja 130 for when o manage to get hold of a Cotic Soul... Can anyone tell me how to add the names of the bikes I've had over the years to all my messages without having to state them each...

Hi guys, I've been reading the advice from RetroBike for a few years now so first of all a quick 'thanks' for all the wonderful info you constantly provide. My question is regarding an Orange Clockwork and fork length. I own a pre 98 frame and recently decided to up the fork length from...
