the unofficially cool MTB drop bar thread

A feast for the eyes from the 1988 Ibis catalogue (available in the Retrobike catalogue archive).

Sorry about the image size, but it seemed churlish to crop it.

Stem, stem, stem, setm, stem....

Nice kit Fromage! I got them bar end mounts too and was planing to convert my Salsa-fakeé.
Excuse my shameless plug, but it turns out that I need a much longer stem with a lot of rise.
The modern Salsa ahead set stem I bought was way to low.
So if any one here could sell me something similar to the one in the pic' I'd be deeply indebted! More here! ;)

Did a +4000km trip to Northcape and back last summer on this converted '92 Serotta T-Max.
46 cm Nitto Noodle h-bars and a crummy Dirt Drop Stem copy from my ex's ladies bike.
Fully loaded on steep down hills I reached 78 km/h and it still handled like a champ on the broken up tarmac! :p
