Re: Re:
Matt,
you build it how ever you like, you cant do it wrong, as long as it all works, thats the Bontrager mentality....
It didnt need glitz or glamour, a fancy race team or big budget swanky advertising with catchy slogans and funky names..., to win the hearts and minds...
Dependant on model year of the frame would depend how it was spec'd, we did sell them with the cable hanger and M950 spec back in the day, whilst we frown on it now, back then the braking performance increase was a revalation from the gods....
the Sandvik fabricated frames were still being sold under Treks ownership with M950 until the end here in the Uk, (could be wrong, it was a long time ago i guess..)
Keep up the good work mate, you got some cool going on round here for sure, and im signed in....

I’m looking forward to riding this beauty. I’ve had a few Marin Team Ti’s from This era which rode well and a Saracen Kili ultra which I did not like at all. Far too bendy. I’m expecting this to be ace
I have a Rockshox RS1 crown on the way, to which I will fit my 1” threaded Ti steerer and my Custom made Lee Cooper rigid fork legs which will allow anything up to a-c of 430mm. I expect the sweet spot between sharp steering, aesthetics and a manageable seat to bar drop to be around 400 - 410mm. Anyone know if the geo if these was suspension corrected? And if so, to what length fork?
Cheers, Matt
