veLLo in reply to @WimVDD

Yes, it is... They make me nervous, so thin at the end! Had a non drive side crank arm with a crack in the 90s - Shimano stx RC - luckily spotted in time by a mechanic, and square tapers going loose... Plus I'd hate to damage them... I'm looking for a suitably styled 5 bolt triple crankset with splined fitting, best candidate so far, which wouldn't look out of place is a Truvativ Elita.

That is very cool. You converted those head shox forks to rigid??

elHuron in reply to @Alban

nope, the fatty came as rigid forks aswell. pretty rare though.

I really regret selling my hahanna, easily one of the most fun bikes I ever had. Sadly stolen shortly after I sold it :(

Bike packing pics include the final build: custom rear rack made by a friend, Wald basket in front and switched to a Thomson setback post

Benotto 1993 time capsule.

Adjusted a little bit from how I bought it. The Alivio groupset will be replaced with something more modern soonish.

M739 vees with the little shim pack (to stop them squealing) Don't think there are any pads though. In very good condition. Don't have any pics just now. Gimme a couple o' days and I'll sort some out. Got brifters too.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

> Quote text by starting lines with >

Mention another user by @username

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```
Your code goes here
```
Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
