Thanks to those that helped on my headset and stem thread!

Should I buy red or white handlebars for this?

and a white FSA headset.

If that's your choice:

White

(but would suggest you keep them black)

With the colour of your tyres and grips I don't think anyone will notice what colour your bars are :mrgreen:

I see the rear brake hose from The Goodies tandem has found a new home.

My wardrobe is pretty conservative colourwise.

As a kid I always wanted a red Rockhopper. It was the early 90s and purple ano finishing kit was in fashion. I never ever got my Rockhopper so I bought this secondhand a few months ago so decided Id have the bike I wanted as a nipper in the 90s.

Touching eh? Nah, thought not! ๐Ÿ™‚

I've explained why. If I get bored of it, which I no doubt will, it's only grips and a set of tyres. Easily changed and didnt cost a lot. Then it'll just be red and white.

But for now the purple stays! ๐Ÿ™‚

I did find some but decided against it. Apart from essentials, I wont be spending anymore on it. It's just for me to kick around on to try to get fit.

I have no doubt that will happen Tim. It's just a bit of fun. If I get into mtbing properly again during the summer I'll probably end up with a new bike anyway.

well i don't know your situation, but if the bikes running & you have jet put discs on, forks would seem logical at some point, i always advocate a new bike though ๐Ÿ™‚

Just getting forks would certainly free up beer tokens!

This MTB caper throws up many a quandary.
