Since I can’t ride so much, I’m fettling with stalled projects.
I have had at least 5 MX Leaders, and stupidly sold them when they were “just an old bike” and thus plentiful and cheap.
This (used) frame came to me from Belgium a few years back just as supply started drying up, but it sat unbuilt since then.
I’ve started building it up in recent weeks. The frame was totally “bare”, which has necessitated some purchases - binder bolt, downtube cable stops. And then stupidly I made good progress building it yesterday only to realise I needed a bottom bracket cable guide. So I’m stalled again until that arrives.
The build is fairly heavily Campagnolo Chorus alloy 10s, partially from a gruppo acquired from @getoutofbed.
Wheels are the venerable Mavic SSC on Record alloy hubs; currently fitted with 21c tubs #acceptableinthe80s but I’ll replace them when they wear out.
Then a PMP titanium seatpost, Cinelli Grammo titanium stem, and 3T Morphe bars. Saddle is currently a Brooks Swallow which may change.
