Still need to swap out some parts to get it "correct" - handlebars, stem, pedals and a few other bits but I built it up with what I had while these pieces are located and took it out for a ride.

Much thanks to Scant for parts and advice and to Rumpfy for enthusiasm and support.

It rides AWESOME

Thanks and stay well

Very cool bike - great to see it being ridden.

Is this the one that scant had for sale a while back?

Thanks - it really does ride great.

looks great. well done

Nice! You are starting quite a collection!

Shhhh ...

Don't let my wife hear you ...

Cool, really cool bike!.

Thank you and I was just looking again through your thread and build. THAT is awesome work!

That's damned fine! The disk drive really looks the biz on that one

Thanks for the kind words.
I have the brakes, bars, stem, pedals, tires and a few other bits on hand or on the way to bring it up to '91 JT spec.

I did manage to get this other piece of equipment though not necessarily a '91 version and not part of the bike.

Still lovin the ride ... Great weather this past weekend

Went for a nice, long, technical ride today.

Swapped some Grafton Speed Controllers onto the front and SPD 737 pedals, Mud Dawg rear/Cousin front tires, King cages, proper bar, stem.and bar ends.

I have a set Ringle skewers and the Grafton Mag lites that will find there way on (as soon as I either find or have made some spring cups for the Mags). Mag 20s to be fitted while I look for a Manitou 1 (already have a crown with a threaded 1 1/8" steerer for it).

QUESTION: I have a set of 4 perfect Grafton Speed Controllers in black - the type with the "L" pad holder and Dia Compe screw-on pad studs. Put these on front& rear or keep these silvers for the rear and the put the Mag Lites on front whenI find/make spring cups?[/b]

39 hours after starting my day, I had but a short time of riding light left.

The battle between the couch and a beer vs. mosquitoes, 90 percent humidity/86 degrees temperature and suiting up ...
Was won by the latter.

iPhone POS propped up on a storm-shattered log, a few shots snapped and an exhilarating ride on this fabulous bike then it was too dark for me to see, but no problem for the Mosquitos.

Oh well, terrible storms coming so the next few days rides will likely be relegated to something else ... Or not.
