Old School Hero
Not one to troll Craigslist, I did find this on the day it was posted last spring. Living just a few blocks down the street, I recognized a gem under some old, parts. The package included many titanium parts and a Ti bolt kit. The Ti parts, headset, front mech and the CQP cranks were the only parts I kept on it.
Now I wish I had a "before" picture. After finding a $20 fork and reaching into my parts bin, this is how it turned out.
cranks: Cook Quality Products, with Shimano 747's
tires: Continental Avenues (for use in the city)
wheels: XTR (f)/DX 7-speed (r) on Mavics, w/Salsa skewers
stem and seatpost: Litespeed
handlebar: Titec PG w/Yeti grips
mechs: XT (f)/XTR (r)
levers/shifters: XTR/DX 7-speed !
brakes: Avid Tri-Align II
saddle: Selle Italia Flite Titanium
Looking for a nice fork with a threaded 1" steerer.
