Now my CB Anteaus 653 and retro XT bit will be up for sale as 2 bikes (1 full offroad and this new one which will be my commuter) I can justify but 3 no way.
My plans for it are to take off the griptraxs' and put on some slicks for commuting as it rides really well on road. I will keep the griptraxs' for when I may fancy taking for an offroad blast.

how did you dispense with the zombie in the garden ?

Loving this, that is so clean you could eat your lunch off it

how do the brakes work ? Mine had the same canti's and were so hard they did nothing :roll:

are you gunna ride it and get it mucky ?

Cheers

Until today I thought the dics on my new Kula were pants (not bedded in yet), in comparison to my old Hydrostop Mountain setup (they really are the best rim brake evar, Vees are just to brutal an offer so little control in comparison), these take crapness to a whole new level. However they have just not been used so need bedding in themselves still.
It will get used, don't worry and if there is a retro bike meet round my way I will take it along for a blast.

i thought the whole retroishness we play with to be pointless in the first place.
now if we are going to do it better take it to the next level.

cool man! As you say, even got the original treads! The dye ran on these when they were wet, so I don't thinkits even seen any rain!
cool!

Love it

What year was that MFX?

Looks mint...

Love the colour.
