1997 SuperV 4000 Raven + Hed

Hi, thanks to RetroBike, I bought my Raven to jskdog (do you remember ?).

It came like that :


Good deal for the frame and fork, but some component were very cheap (Vbrake Avid + Tektro disc cable, Titec bar and saddle..) wich wasn't ever well installed (chain and cable tooooo short, fork mounted without all rings and bolt, etc..).

So first of all, I have cleaned and oiled everything, it was a big swift !

Then I put on it Easton Monkey Lite bar + spd pedals + Max Flite saddle :










With XTR M965 combo + A2Z disc adapter + new tyres :




Then I have received my graal (converted to Lefty hub for the front, and with black Ringlé hub for the rear) :




I have also resprayed my Coda crank, waiting for a better one :




...And the result : today = first ride !!!

Nice transformation, the HED wheels look great on it.

New crankset today !

Before :



After :

Today, new shock (Risse Astro 5), and some touch of (real) carbon near brake calipers :

Now this Raven is sold, I have only kept Hed wheels for my new project.

Some pics before its start..

That's my old Raven frame - I sold it to jskdog

Looks amazing!
