This is a proper rags to glory story, amazing. Couldn't even afford an actual javelin

managed to finally find a 1 1/8 quill stem, a bit high but i have plenty of aggressively setup road bikes to generate back pain. Chose not to get an stem adapter because ive got a soft spot for quill stems

Thanks! When the mechanic forced off the crank he put a new a bb-un300 with a 122.5 spindle so gives a bit more flexibility and avoids any chain stay rub. it does have an incredibly crude original frame guard you can see in the images. Theyve bolted a hanger thing, then powder coated it and then add like a saw tooth plate to account for the triple chain rings.

The mechanic remarked it looked like the USA Trek factory was producing components in someones garage.

Lovely crankset, I wish I could find nos nearby!

Managed to strip the drive side threads. Fml. Off to the Lbs to have them cut off or similiar tomorrow. Can see the threads beneath the bike. Sob

I bought a narrow wide 110bcd ring thinking it would be quick to find a square taper crankset with 110bcd. Not as quick as I hoped. The best i can find is a Claris 2400 crankset (with an octolink BB). Is octolink any good or is it worth persisting to find a ST crankset? I note octolink had a very short production run

to be honest, i reckon these maxxis tyres would make any bike look great.

It is quite a bit more expensive in australia to source the parts because there is a flat $10 fee for postage, so if you forgot something etc it can run up to quite a bit relative to the value of the whole operation. Also, no LFGSS in melbourne

Decided to go 1x7, only going to use it to potter around town

While the bike hadn't been used much it has rusted over time, quite badly in some places, so just gonna replace the quill stem and handlebars.

Also decided to get rid of the canti-brakes for the ease of V-Brake.

Lost a wheel bearing and forgot the order i took off the spacers.

Got this for $180AUD on marketplace. It excellent condition for a 30 year old bike, everything is original.

Only ever really been a roadie, so a mountain bike like this will be a new experience.

Thinking 1x9 with new wheels, tan walls, handle bars and needs new cabling and possibly shifters.

what happened to pidcock, seemed like a stage for him?

My friend has this form of leukemia, found out when going to hopsital for a minor procedure. Before the mid 2000s it was fatal, but now their life expectancy is the same as the general population and they experience pretty much no side effects.

Perhaps if IWG become a WT force with girmay they can get some decent kit that doesnt look like it has been picked out of the bargain bins at decathlon

I was never a Froome fan but I'd probably enjoy it if he won another GT, just because i think it would be a monumental achievement ala tigers wood in 2019.
