After seeing all the mirror polished bikes, I thought I had better give mine a clean.
First three
96/97 GT RTS 2 (DH?) - 28lb
newly aquired 97 proflex 957 - 26lb - 27lb with dropper post
My old bike passed on to the Mrs, cheap but strong ally frame great geometry.
Proflex 957 Before:
After new shocks and everything else:
And now finally finished, I think:
This is my Xizang, a 16" '92 U-brake model, I think this small size is quite rare as older bikes all seem to be quite large, not as shiny as some, but I'm not much into polishing!!! I'm experimenting with V-brake levers for the U-brake.
Before:
And now, finally complete, 10Kg/22lb as pictured.
1997 Marin MT Vision, bought the frame and fork to use up all my spares, all I had to buy was tyres, shifters, grips, bottom bracket and cranks (birthday present from BF), weighs in around 29lbs, my I don't care bike, use it in the rain and the mud and not too worried and crashing it.
NOS 2008 Trek 1.9 Alpha Triple 19lbs
Some fancy lightweight Ti skewers, (I realised that if I'm carrying a tube I'm also carrying allen keys so QR's not needed)
