You’ve got the same frame as me with the same livery? The chap I bought it off told me he put extra decals on it. I have worked out which are original to the frame and which are additional. I’ve done a lot of work on the components lately including bringing the Matt black finish back to some of...

Well Johnny, I tried the link you provided to no avail. His facebook page won’t let me message him, and the landline number just rings and rings until it goes to answerphone. I left a message but no return call. Do you have any other avenues I can explore please?

Oh wow thanks again, your help has been invaluable.

Hi again my friend, I’m having trouble finding the replacement rivet decals for this US Airforce edition mtb of mine. Please would you have any idea how/where I could get them?

Wow this is great, many thanks my friend.

I don’t suppose you know where I can get these eastern bars for my F600 please?

Well I do have a spacer band which is on the Sram mech, I could trim/adjust it to fit. Would you happen to know what bars came with it? He told me he put motorcycle bars on.

That’s an interesting configuration, I’ll ask the original owner if he has changed it, he is in his 80’s and may not be able to remember if he has or not.

Hi again, I was wondering if I have the right front mech on this as it has a SramDFG324 but the rear mech is a Shimano RD-M760, I’ve looked for a Shimano FD-M760 but they all seem to be top pull but my 2004 F600 is bottom pull with no lugs on the frame to convert it to top pull. I’m trying to...

I’m going to strive to get the decals and I know I can get the frame to look like new, I’m great at getting knocks and scratches out of aluminium and I can restore the brushed look and clear coat it afterwards. I hope you don’t mind me saying but I think your president is amazing.

Well to me the bike is something to be proud of, I was asking him to sell it for years, so my perseverance has paid off. I’ll get back to you with pics once it’s restored.

So could the whole bike be worth a few quid then? I wonder how many of these whole bikes are surviving? Oh by the way, I saw the chap I bought it off yesterday, he said he had something to do with the bike in his car for me. Sooooo, it was the original pedals, one original rotor, (worn thin) and...

Mine is the ft80, I’m assuming it means full travel 80mm? Well for the fact the bike only cost me £25:00 I’ve not done bad even if I don’t get it back to original spec I know of no airbrush artist unfortunately. In Cornwall we are mostly farmers lol.

I am UK based my friend and the parts are indeed M760, I am in the process of getting them ultrasonic cleaned after I put them in the washing machine (Please don’t laugh) in tied socks with plenty of soap powder and it’s brought them up a treat. The ultrasonic is just to make sure. I am keeping...

The chap I bought it from had it from new and is as came when he bought it he insists. He bought it new 20 years ago and has done no alterations whatsoever. Now you can see why I’m confused about it. Can you make any sense from the serial number my friend? Many thanks for replying by the way.
