Finally got this together after a while of owning it!
Chris (scrat) gave me the frame afer I commented that I quite liked it... It's hand braised out of reynolds tubing, pity the original rigid forks were poked. Never fear though! I happened to have a pair of Mag 21's lying around, they had a 1 1/4" steerer which I swapped out for a 1 1/8th with a LBS. Has original LX derailuers and hubs, Mountain LX cranks, deore thumbies and brake levers. Had the matching canti's but we agreed that the wider profile canti's suited the frame alot better. Chris also donated the seat (looks bent in photo's but it's not) and post. NOS shimano sharkfin as well. Need to get some amber wall tyres, just chucked on a couple I had lying around to get it rolling.
Not sold on the seat and post though...I'm thinking a black post and flite style seat... Chris says leave as it... What do people think?
