Well, here are some new pics in its rebuilt guise...
I stripped this to sell it, but when packing it I felt I couldnt part with it...
So its now a keeper... Rebuilt with a bit more care - I have sourced a stem that fits me, put some nice blue tyres on, and ditched the clarks cables... Lesson learned! With XTR cables (made up from a set I never used on an MTB) it shifts and brakes so much better.
Still needs a shorter BB (currently 111mm ish, needs 102) and a new cassette.
