So this little bird just fell into my lap as part of a sale/trade. It was supposed to be a 18” 2000 Steel Delux. Well it’s a 17” Steel Special, and it’s serial #238 dates it to pre-98. The bike has a canti hanger in the rear, I think Shimano V-brakes debuted in 96?
The Bomber Pro fork has seen better days, gonna swap it out with a rigid fork, suspension corrected 1”? I think a Kona Project 2 fits the bill. Probably replace the 8 speed XTR&XT bits with a 1x10 XT kit I have kicking around.
