Great to have your input!
I'll be picking your brains if I may over the next few months, I have a few ideas for it that I'm really not sure if they are great or foolish
Did you sell it as a complete bike then? :shock:
I bought it as a bare frame with a seat collar and few green ano bolts dotted around. I believe it changed hands a few times after you sold it but wasnt ever built back up. looking at the telltales (threads, seat tube etc) backs this up, it still looks like it was painted last week! The forks that I believe were fitted by you were sold before i could gettum :cry: No biggie, just means I have to cut down my own F100RL's steerer.
funny you mention green, I seem to have caught the bug, never really been one for ano before but it seems to suit this colour, I had my eye earlier today on a green USE seatpost but a few too many bills have come in and put paid to that :roll:
I think this build is going to be a LOT slower than I'd like...........
Was a complete build, with Hope Hoops, Hope minis, all top end parts, I discounted it, so wondering if it was stripped for parts then sold on? The Green Air Alloy bars were NOS from Canada and would fetch £100 plus now alone.
I hate having to go back on a decision.
From day one I planned hope brakes and my trusty m732 thumbshifters and hence a 7 speed cassette(yet to be bought)
Now due to a 'fleet' rearrangement and a load of parts swaps to boot, my commuter bike needs a pair of 3x7 shifters and it makes sense to use my XT thumbs.
So now what do I put on this cindercone?
As its a retromod I'm wondering if 3x9 might be more sensible? And with the amount of carbon that's building up in the parts box I'm wondering about SRAM x0 carbons?
Never used them though, anyone care to voice an opinion?
An alternative may be xtr m970 shifters, they look ok (I hate the plasticky feel of the m750 shifters or else I would use those as I'm running 750 mechs.)
I hate decision making!
