I could easily put a 1.5" spacer in the lathe and bore it out to 400 mm, as long as it leaves enough wall thickness. You can probably find someone locally to do it for less than the shipping cost from USA.

HTA on a Jekyll is 69.5. Pretty sure 2001 was the first model year for the Jekyll. Talk to Craig at Mendon Cyclesmith about Lefty repairs.

Pretty sure that most of the tubes were round in the 1990s. Mountain bikes had oval shaped chainstays with flat sides. Here's a 1991 SM800.

Here is the link for the seller of the canti studs. I'm not sure what the state of international shipping is right now but I'd guess they will know. https://shop.brake-stuff.de/en/canti-studs/15/canti-studs-with-5-16-18-unc-inch-thread-e.g.-for-klein-fat-chance-and-cannondale

Not sure what you mean by flat-ish. Have a look at some of the catalog archives. There weren't many different frame types in the 1990s.

Great story. Glad that you found your bike.

Oldest dealer in my are has a box full of miscellaneous studs, said I was welcome to come sort through them. Happy to do that if I get to the area but the shop is 55 miles away in a town that I haven't been to in 15 years or more.

That's the way to buy a bike. Are you interested in triathlons or do you intend to use it as a road bike?

Calling a couple of local dealers to check.

That looks good. It's always nice to put a short chunk of seatpost in the seat tube if you can come up with one.

I did run a die over an M8 thread to see what it looked like. First three threads were pretty much intact, fourth was cut down somewhat, and fifth was cut pretty much down the center. I will try to get some M8 bosses and see how they turn out. I can swap them to one of my frames if it works...

Looks like it's pretty much ready to ride. What do you plan to change?

That may be an ST400 but it's hard to tell much from the low resolution pictures. I can't see how bad the paint is but black is fairly easy to touch up with a brush and make look presentable. I have sanded, masked, and spray painted single tubes that had more damage.

I've never deleted a thread but I'm sure Brian can do it. Did you see the red/white/blue Volvo '96 Olympics replica? Yet another paint scheme that's not in the catalog.

Cool color. I have a 1998 R4000 in Kameleon Fire. Wish my Silk Road had the Kameleon paint instead of white.

Pretty sure that's 1998 (1st year) Raven. The 1st gen Ravens had frame durability issues but I'd still like to have one. You might want to determine size. Easiest thing to measure is the wheelbase. Most recent sale of one of these framesets went for a best offer of something under the $250...

I've seen similar paint before but not sure if I've seen it on an F series frame. About all I can add is that CAAD3 was used on F900s and lower in 1998. F1000 and above were CAAD4.

I saw the eBay listing. Are you keeping the parts in hopes of transferring them to a Volvo frame?

I've been looking for an SH for a while. That's a 21" frame, I'd be very interested if it were larger. Good luck finding a new owner for it. For anyone interested: It's made for 700c wheels and came with 35 mm tires originally. Original spec was Shimano LX/DX 7 speed, which generally...
