To some of you not very new but i felt i should show the adjustments ;)

I allso have a question : do you like the forks? or should i respray them?

I replaced the headset, tyres and forks.
I allso have a Magura Menja for it in white but i love to ride it rigid.

Cheers

This is lovely! Been after a Ritchey mtb for a while and loving the Plexus! Also on the lookout for a late ninety's Ritchey Chicane road bike.Any clues where i could find one?
Thanx Max
 
Thats really nice chap, IMHO though, you need some Logic forks on there.. and I would have gone M95 series components but its the frame that is the heart and soul... ;)

BONTY1 , there is a 20" Plexus frame for sale at the bike shed (exeter branch) , priced at £800.00 .. :) , have a word with vanessa , she'll give you the lowdown... :)

You're absolutely right about the Logic forks but they're hard to find.
And about the components.......the only shimano parts i really like are the M900's but i love gripshift and nowadays nothing beats the XO that way.
 
I might have a spare set of logics, in a week or two if your interested.. :) I'll give you a shout.. :)

M900 is IMO is the nicest group shimano made, but the 95 series would be more period :)

I totally agree about the gripshifts, (I have some spare sets of the Ritchey 2x9 ones, if your interested ;) I did try them on my P20 , but decided to go thumbshifters :)

I have owned quite a bit of the Sram X0 stuff and that too is fantastic.. I liked the original sid fork on btw.. ;) , if its 1" and you decide to sell , drop me a line.. :)
 
Give me a shout and a pic when they're available if they're 1-1/8".
Currently mounted is a marin rockstar.

Hmm 2x9 shifters......tempting, i'll consider it.

The SID is in my wife's bike at the moment, i have a new Magura Menja in white for the plexus now.

You're absolutely right but they ride soooo much better than those flexy sid's....especially with my 90 kgs.

I'll think about both. If i'm not mistaken you still have my email-adress.
 
Nice. I wouldn't bother respraying them. They look a little short though, or is it just the angle of the photo?
