Nice, it looks like you got your hands on one of the older 950/970/990s from 1990 which are very nice lugged frames. I do agree the forks look a little odd compared to mine from a year later - photo for reference. Great work on the MF too, and those multitrack frames are a bit of a hidden gem for a cheap gravel build. 700c, wide clearance and canti bosses - spot on!

A little shocked at myself, but I have sent you a message.

Price drops

That’s a very generous offer

Thanks @AlexD - interested to see it, sounds perfect :)

Cheers too @AE86 I will message you about these.

Totally. Might be a fun nibble for you + 2 mates which will never happen. The slightly banked sub is the only good thing. Otherwise total waste of time.

£20m on consultancy is about 130 engineers working full time for a year. Seems overkill.

Morning team. Looking for a single cantilever brake caliper - anyone got one knocking about? Ideally a retro wide set shimano one, like this kinda style to match the back brake.

Also after a set of riser bars, 25.4 c. 55omm wide. Swear I've seen some lately on here so will have a trawl.

More gone and cassette added. Pic of cassette:

sent a message about the XT cassette

Are the road cruisers what you want but out of stock? I've got a barely used set (<15 miles) if you want them - you'd need to send me some replacements though as they're on the latest build at the moment! Would consider a trade for something fatter and all black.

Speaking of trades... anyone want to swap a black selle italia turbo in good condition for a different saddle, maybe something wider? Learnt they're not for me.

.

Price drops and some gone.

Anyone tried Halo Twin rail IIs? first gen ones were so slow I thought

very very nice build! Is it full M732? How do you find the gripshift? Haven't owned a set of those since like 96

I'll take that please. pm coming

Sorry @Matisse I think they’ve gone already via pm.

I'm going weight-weenie on my shelf situation to prevent it ripping out the wall. Collection E8 preferred or will post at your cost.

Front mechs:

• Shimano Deore DX 34.9 bottom pull. Missing logo. £5
  
• Shimano XT M737 31.8 top pull. £12
  
  

Other bits:

• Vintage Stronglight BB. 115mm length, ISO. Bearings a bit rumbly, teeth on lockring a bit squiffy. No idea, £10>>£8?
  
• Shimano SLX 11sp 11-42 mtb cassette (i.e. needs the washer/spacer
  behind it - not supplied). Tbh, I don't know how to tell how worn
  this is, so I suppose the assumption should be that it's quite worn?
  Saying that, I was using it fine and have only changed to move to
  11-46. I've done about 500 miles on it, not sure about the previous
  owner though. I've cleaned it as thoroughly as possible. £10?

Haha yeah ok I hear ya.

@doug1e thanks for sharing. that’s pretty similar to mine, but the paint scheme is better. Didn’t know you could use a mech hanger extender on the older mechs to extend the range. Can’t beat a triple though imo. I went 1x10 on my old trek 950 recently and it’s just not the same. The only positive is having a clutch.

What is the consensus on Gary fisher? Building this up at the moment. Weirdly has a 1 1/4” head tube

Haha. What’s wrong with the giant? I am into that one

Good choice imo. The graphics on the slightly earlier saracens are way cooler ;)

What's on its way?

I am glad I didn't see this for sale at the time to be honest - it's a beaut. Definitely option A for me. Imagine I'm not the first person to say I'd buy it off you if you end up going with something different :P

Did you watch the recent Shimano 100 year anniversary rerelease of the promo video for this XT groupset? that alone makes me want this bike.

Not as cool as the last Kuwahara posted, but good price and not miles away either:

I've got one already but am tempted as mine has a stuck seatpost - someone save me from doing it!
