Dat stem !
nice <3

Merci, @Gaston

Indeed, that stem. It's quill but ahead avant la lettre because it can be switched so you have a less racy position. But I prefer the racy position.

The stem on that is rad

My friend had one of these when I was a kid. What’s the tubing?

True Temper GTX, @Simba

Been struggling for mojo so built this back up. Bars are ugly but they were a fiver and tape was a quid so.

got around to finishing off the kona dew for my partner mentioned a couple of pages back. rides really comfy... might have to hold off handing it over for a little while so I can do some more 'testing'.

See you at RP soon then yeah 😉

nice! what's the plan gearswise etc?

I quite like the bars

Building it up again with all original parts (7 speed XT/DX/LX).

Started putting together an inbred from my parts bin, nothing fancy. (sorry for the shit pic)

Got my Swiss Cross mostly sorted. Still need to trim the steerer, get a -17 stem to dial in the fit, change the seatpost and remove some more decals from the wheels.

looks fun!

Thanks :) It's a bit on the big side for me, we'll see how that goes.

Nice! Why not lose the spacers before going -17 stem?

I have - I slammed it after taking that picture to find that it still isn't low enough for road use.
Although I think in the end I will probably switch between -17/-6 for different usage scenarios.

What sticker for the seattube? #DBAD is the obvious choice I suppose... maybe a Reynolds awesome one?
