1992 cro-mega
For the 1992 (thanks Mikee) i am undecided on the frame colour, maybe solid black powder or maybe white. It will probably have a Deore mechs+shifters, XT V-brakes, hayes levers and a set of D521 rims on XT hubs, hopefully with snowflaked spokes.
I also need a new 1 and 1/4 headset, i have a quill flexstem in black and silver ready to install.
I may even post pictures of this build as i go rather than at the end like this one.

I love this, wow, such attention to detail, this is the only respray of an Alpinestars I've seen that does it justice.
Feel sorry for your frame painter, '3 times I took the stem and forks back to match the colour', in the end you painted em white!...
:shock:

Hope you're happy with the build? You should be...
Agreed.
.... looks good, just the motivation I need to get on and finish my one now! Purchased from GT-Steve, I've got a long way to go to get to the standards of your one but inspired get mine beyond primer now!Here's some pics 'borrowed' from GT- Steve. It's currently stripped of it's paint job and awaiting a sand blast before etch primer. Got all the 'DX' bits now though!
Cheers,

They are not named so i can only assume that they are as 'Mikee' stated some Tektro copies of Graftons.
I did try and get some matching skewers, these where meant to be bright green, i think i will replace them with nice shiney silver efforts.
Thanks for all the retrobike love i'm feeling towards my first build.
