Hey guys, I need a clean/mint set that has no pitting. I'm really close to getting this resto done! Anyone?

Thanks,
ike

Forking by Frank: www.frankmain.qpg.com/

This is the answer I've received time and again when asking the same question.

yama: unfortunately Mikes doesn't have tubes for XS1, XS1B XS2. Sad

ay: Thanks, they seem like my only (not cheap!) option. Ive gone this far...so I might as well go for Frank tubes.

They look like decent tubes but the name "Forking by Frank" does not sound too appealing to me... Wink

Oh, that fits XS2, not XS1B like I have Sad

I talked to Mikes, and he should have XS1 and XS1B tubes by year end.

Sorry Mike, I should have read the heading! Embarassed

Have you looked into getting yours resurfaced?

Yep s008ess, I don't think I'd put the sticker on my bike
"Forked By Frank"
"I'd Rather Be Forked By Frank".
"I've Been Forked By Frank, Have You?" Laughing

What Happened to 650rider.com?
