That looks amazing!
Thanks for the recommendation

Will do 👍

CP thread coming when i have a plan.

Currently thinking silver errthing, but on the other hand black parts would make the frame pop.

Main Challenge is fork stud spacing at about 55mm. Any experience with cantis on narrow posts? BR cx50 could perhaps work with some washer play/filing

Cheers guys! Found it in the 86 catalogue.

Deep cleaned, applied framesaver, removed rust, covered chips with clear nail polish, polished and waxed the frame. Looking good with the odd chip here and there.

I have picked up this cross trophy and it should from 80-85, Is there any catalogue to reference?

Also meausured the seattube ID as 27,2 even though it should be plain gauge.

Any gazelle wisdom would be greatly appreciated

Best of All the ancient Mavic hoops took an 11 speed cassette and with 2 rounds of tape I could set them up tubeless with just a track pump.

In the future i will add mudgaurds and perhaps turn it ss

Sorry for the lack of updates. Life has been a bit hectic and I have'nt been round here much. Bike turned out okay tough. Currently it is my townie/commutter/bit of shopping and so on bike. Max clearance in the rear is 31c tyres, so I rather grab the MTB for offroading. Tried riding some Gravel stuff but the frameset is too much CX geo and clearances to make it wortwhile.

It was my first complete build and i really enjoyed it! A Lot more fun than buying any complete otp bike and i learned a ton.

Agree with All the points made. To be clear i purchased the part on the lower photo as waterproofing was my Main concern as well. I think Garmin fucked the button design up as it seems to be a Common problem. Hope to fix it Up for good as the unit is working flawlessly.

Any interest in a write Up on how to do the repair when i get to it?

Sorry if a bit late, but i have the same issue and ended Up purchasing this (shown below) of eBay. But i also emailed this guy who can sell you a similar solution grizzemans@gmail.com and he seemed friendly. I Will be trying to repair it next week and hopefully it Works out

Copypasta from wiki about Iron Horse

Iron Horse Bicycles was a manufacturer of bicycles, in Islandia, New York, United States from 1987 to 2009. Its logo was a prancing horse on a mustard-color crest similar to the Ferrari logo. Iron Horse sold racing bikes and mountain bikes, but mainly downhill, freeride, and all mountain.

Iron Horse riders included Dave Cullinan, Kim Sonier, Penny Davidson, Toby Henderson, Leigh Donovan, Pete Loncarevich and Sam Hill. Cullinan won the downhill world championship in 1992 and Sam Hill won the World Championships in 2007 and 2010.

Iron Horse filed for bankruptcy in early 2009. It owed US $5 million to creditors and patent holders.[1] Dorel Industries acquired Iron Horse for US $5.2 million on 15 July 2009,[2] having already acquired GT, Cannondale, Schwinn and Mongoose.[2]

As there will be no front mech and therefore no guide under the bb, should i just leave this open and let it act as a drain hole of sorts?

Full marks for pedigree it is then

@keepitmencap

To be honest i do not know their history at all, but the some guy i met yesterday seemed to hold the brand in high regard as well. I think it is an american company making mostly mtb stuff today by the look of their website. I do find it ironic having an alloy frame with a carbon fork named iron horse

Drivetrain decided

Brand new items
GRX RD-RX812
J&L narrow wide

Second hand stuff
Ultegra 6600 crank
11-42 slx cassette (maxing out the RD)
r7000 levers

Have also ordered a pair of CR720 as they were a steal on bike24, and they look way cooler than mini v´s IMO and i could not accept the canti hanger on the rear being unused

After having been wanting something that could clear tires wider than 23c for some time this came up local to me for a reasonable sum, so I jumped on it. Hoping to build it into something that can ride some light gravel without breaking the bank.

Plans

• 1x (11/10)
  
• 32c tyres
  
• flared bars
  
  

Everything else is undecided and input is very welcome!

First questions

• Mini v or canti?
  
• DBAD or save the rim brake sticker?

Made some minor tweaks. Had to wrap some more tape around the axle so it matched the id of the pulley (6700) where the both inner and outer bushing had been removed.
In Short too much effort for the money saved

lovely bunch of bikes in this thread!

Before checking the wheel build over, I think a good look at seating of the front tyre would be in order as the schwalbe logo seems half eaten by the rim

Will follow next time i have a bike in the stand 👍

Bodged a little chainkeeper together with an old pulley and som bits and bobs
