It's a work in progress, but i've got it rideable now.
Retro highlights...
Pro-circuit forks. (bought on here)
The original XT STI units and rear mech.
Original LX front mech. All working very well too.
Original Orange bar-ends
X-Lite skewers
Answer Taperlite bar.
I-Baeam stem.
Silly colour Middleburn Chainrings
All 1995ish
Things to do...
Retro saddle (i just took the one from my road bike)
Proper, matched tyres, the current ones were just some random spares lying around.
Perhaps get rid of the silly colour items and replace with some more sensible retro gear.
The front brake is a cheap, modern effort, looks ok but i'll replace that eventually.
Any other suggestions?
