The latest addition to the mancave arrived via several cups of coffee and some inverse haggling
1993 KHS Montana Pro 16"
Here's a shoddy pic of how this build will start
Spec list
True Temper OXII tubing
Mag20 fork with Mag21 canti bridge
Zoom stem
XT M736 front mech
Alivio hubs Mach sommat-or-other rims
Chainset RHS: FSA LHS: Alivio? (MC-10)
R Mech Shimano, again possibly Alivio?
Alivio canti's
Black bars with bar ends
Popped it on the digi scales & it came to 29.15lb!
1st upgrade was removal of the bars and bar ends. An Amoeba Ti bar had been lying about waiting for a home, so on they went
reweighed the bike @ 28.15lb, if only every bit of Ti shed that much weight
I am aiming to go back to catalogue spec, or as near to it as possible. I prefer a suspension fork (dodgy bones) and the Alivio canti brakes look loads nicer then the OE M730's
Catalogue spec here
I have sourced what I suspect may be the correct saddle, it's a Bontrager Ti, but I can't find the model no on the saddle, it's supposed to be a VL-192T. The saddle I have is stamped For OEM Only and Velo & it weighs ~230g
I have some cranks being worked on for me that will be perfect for the bike as well as some M095 shifters/levers
I may also be about to source a seatpost too (Fingers crossed!)
Here's my wanted list for this build
To save having to scroll through the full build process here is the current spec and a few pics...
