Re: First part for a new build. Any guesses?
I've not dared to open up the fork yet. Pretty sure these are RC35 MXCDs -- is there a way to tell?
The LX shifters and brake levers are separate, which is great bearing in mind what I plan for the bike (1x8 drivetrain). I'll keep the cranks (tired 4-bolt M570s -- nothing a bit of Autosol can't fix -- but without the riveted on big ring that would have been period correct. I guess M570 is early 2000s?).
V-Brakes are the correct M600s, but look rubbish! I think I'll be after some XT parallelogram replacements. Question is, is it worth refurbing the LX ones to sell?
Wheels: there's one Mavic X517 laced to an unbranded black front hub, and a newer X717 laced to a 2003/4 or so Deore hub. I might move the X517 over to the Hope Ti Glide rear that I've got, and practice my wheel building skills. This will go on my RC200.
Oh, and the BB is stuck (inevitably!).
