Re:

Are the S Works cranks 175?

I'll see if I can figure out what went on the bike originally if I can. Busy week.

Re:

Made some changes to the bike. Looking forward to trying it out.

Spins and me don't get along. I have 2 dud rears and have been trying for years to get a functional set. Finally did! Its been so long I forgot what I originally wanted them for so I put them on this. Picked up another Ti spesh skewer so it looks right now.

A few other changes ...

Subtract the skinwalls ... didn't look as good on the spins. Add NOS Kevlar Specialized Team Master and Team Control comps. I thought the contrasting coloured rings sorta fit the bike.

Subtract the original seat post. Add a syncros.

Subtract the XT737 Crankset. Add a raceface.

I'll probably swap out the stem for a syncros if I can find a length that works.

Its a little over the top looks wise, but my 1996 19 year old self likes it.

Re:

I OWN this bike!! I've named her White Lightning. <3

She was stolen last year from my place of work, but with stellar police work, I got the frame back. She's in the middle of a rebuild right now!

Awesome! Glad you were able to get the frame back! Great handing bikes

Several variations on this for me.

Ridden hard, raced, and still solid. My fav retro rider until my 1993 Brodie Expresso supplanted it (it's a bit smaller)
