Re:
Repro Decals by Gil M will be goin on. I have them and they look ace!
I’ve also sourced period XT chainset and cantis as upgrade from original along with LX rear mech and shifters... so a LX/XT group mix.
I’ve basically got a large box now of new and good condition used items I’ve sourced sat in a box next to the frame awaiting assembly. I’m awaiting a new headset arriving to make a start...
I’d like to go full XT but think I’ll get it built first so I can admire it before I shell out for the rest of the groupset.
Wheels will be original I think but I’ll service and polish them and I have some skinwall Schwalbe Table tops I’ve just bought to shod them with which look good against the frame.
I’ve decided to fit a brand new FSA headset as I always feel that once you have a frame PC or painted, then it’s right to do this IMO..
I do have an almost full later 90’s XT groupset which I could fit including V brakes but feel like I should keep it as period as possible... but might change my mind later... :?:
Anyway, hoping to have the skeleton of the bike assembled within the next few weeks so I’ll share more pictures as I go.
I’m well pleased with the contrast of silver frame and dark anthracite fork
