MGOOF : Modern groupset on old frame

42t with 12-29 is perfect for my city / winter bike. Most winter miles are done in Essex.

yeeE! finally i c another mega rapid! i have that same frame and the ride is sooo good! great bike you have there!

Isn't this an old group set on a modern(-ish) frame?

Maybe an incoming project ;)

Newish groupset on oldish frame . Few things to sort out but really like riding this bike at the mo.

It’s a mix, but I’m not mad at it.

Such a dreamy frameset

Its an upcoming project! Didn’t get that. Now that’s something to look forward to!

ah naw, i wish. just lurking ebay's new listings and screenshotting. sorry to get your guys hopes up.

although, i did recently get a tommasini that i'll post when fully built to make up for it.

What wheels are these?

Mavic R-Sys

Cheers for prompt response. It’s a beautiful build

Shit picture, wrong side, but a lovely bike nonetheless. Locked up in the church square in Saumur

I assume this qualifies:

This thing is super fun

There's another thread for MTBs here

Man, I used to have a Tequesta that was the very same as this. Sold it for £30 before I thought retro mtbs were cool now wish I had it back 😭

@Señor_Bear ah sorry
@Mcamb nice ya they're fun!

Building this up today. Still trying to decide between silver Red parts or a black Force/Rival mix.

I think black was the right move.

Looks alright

Here's my mates mix up groupset. But rides so smooth.

Maiden voyage: 100+ degree weather, 1 flat, and won’t shift onto the big ring. But who’s complaining?
