97 (ish) Rocky Mountain Element build thread

Very good restoration indeed! Great to see it build up and used!

Just a couple more photos from the holiday album having just returned from northumbria, the rocky now fitted with loverly raceface cranks (thanks again passiflora), and a modern platform shock (manitou radium expert)

I dropped the granny ring as it just didn't work well, plus I can easily live without it.... so it's become a 2x9

Unfortuntely I appeared to have damaged the dropout... arrggghh.. see here. It rode great until this happened so hoping this isn't the end for the element!!!
