Obtained the frame recently from MAXTHEROTTI (cheers for that) and have a few parts (mostly period-ish) ready to go, there is still a long way to go on this but thought I would start here, and provide updates along the way, funds for decent kit is the biggest obstacle, but I believe I am mostly there.....
1990 LX Chainset (NOS)
XT BB
Ringle Moby post (bargain at £15!!)
Fred Salmon bar stem combo in 'Ti patina' (NOS)
XT rear mech
LX front
XT V-brakes (not entirely retro but won't look out of place plus I got the whole set for £30 NOS
LX Brake Levers (NOS)
Sell Italia roadie saddle (newish)
Ritchey foam grips
Campag Stheno rims on XT hubs (from slimjoe - again thanks!) NOS
Have a pair of Pepperonis lined up (hopefully) but am saving for them at the moment! I phoned Bob Jacksons (who sprayed the frame) and they are doing the forks for £30 to match!
I am building this bike up for road use, due to it's low weight and pretty lightweight build, this will be used for London to Brighton duties! (I have XC racebike/DH bike/jump bike/SS Kona....) This will have 1.2 slicks on it!
Anyway, thought I'd share some photos and looking forward to getting on with the build...
