Nemo MBK Record in progress...

rec brakes are comming thanks Tychom
Whant a rear derailleur record 9s and a C9 rec chain
perhaps mor carbone...
Mutant combo is cool...

The Mutant makes a Cinelli Frog look attractive.

Have this

Shush, the Mutant is a fine stiff stem.

I bought one for one of my Colnago Masters but it looks too bulky. It's somewhere around here unused because I really don't like it. They look better on pictures. ;-)

I had one on my Gazelle Track (now gone to somebody else)...it's an acquired taste visually.

3T forge is nice, hard to get in short lengths which was problem I had

stiff stem <?

Mutant is Stiff ! What aheadset stem No oversize do you proposed ?

Have Itm uniko

I'm teasing a bit.
Everytime Mutant stem come up people complain about the looks. It's stiff and strong if you're happy just leave it on :)

ITM has an ahead (eclypse) in steel, but it's tricky to find in black...

this would be fun ! but $$$

I'd like to have one of those for a 1995 steel mountainbike. But no, they're not very cheap.

Speaking of 1995 mtbs. I am building up a beater. I need a cheap 104 bcd mtb crankset and some wide riserbars, if someone and has something please shout.

Ebay USA they come up much more frequently...but still £££ often

The ITM...

The '95 mtb I'm about to rebuild -a Colnago Ibex- has a Shimano Lx 8 speed groupset on it (with STX-RC crankset) and the complete groupset can go as I'm going to put a Suntour XC Pro MicroDrive on it. I 'm willing to sell the crankset separately but I'm afraid shipping from Belgium will cost more than the crankset itself... So maybe you can take the complete groupset. ;-)

Thank you. I have 8sp groupset only missing cranks and nw chainring.

Your frame is this kind?

This one:

Ooof. HHSMTB potential... ;-)

Got this 25,4...

Hmmm, than maybe I'll better keep it. ;-) I found a Colnago Master Alloy short after I bought this one but I don't have enough room to store them both... (together with all my other bikes and framesets).

I can't guide you there. But that one looks the biz ^^^

Not sure if long enough, but it's in your hood

Found this bmx gt stem and DMR wingbars.. I also put some 1.5 slicks. Poor man's gangsta is finished...

I like that. Could be extra cool if you ran cable for front brake through stem/steerer.

Thanks a lot but not black and 90mm is a bit not long enough.
Any idea of cool 25,4 bars ?
like Easton EC90 ITM millenium...

My current project
Early-80s Olmo, unsure on the model though? if anyone can help? Maybe Super Gentleman?
Taking my time sourcing the panto parts (wrong crankset at the moment...), it will be garish. Got a pair of Mavic MA2 on Record hubs with ATOM 6-speed freewheel too. Any idea on the Tubs I should look for??

Looking good with the alpinas on!

Want to swap your alpinas for my (badly) drilled ones. Don't ride with brakes no more ;)
