Thanks mate
Your build is excellent and brings me to the idea of ​​using black CT parts.

But first the most important part has to be sorted out.

Found the right forks for this frame

Thanks

I'm pretty sure, you know it much better than I do.
The canti hanger on my Xizang were installed as early as 1996 and the models of 97 and 98 have that too.

Actually I had already collected a few nice xtr m900 parts...

but I think I'm going to change a bit my concept. The shiny titanium needs black parts...

Building a GT as well, can't wait to see how it comes together

Re:

Re:

Xizang gets this nice Avid tri align brakes.

very nice and very light..

...but not easy to assemble :shock:

IMO they have a design flaw, because I've tried on three frames it didn't work. Once you fixed the screws the brake arms stop turning because they touch the frame, although the bushings (spacers) are present.

After a long search I found the cause, the brake bosses are too long. Either you have to file down them, or you need extra spacers

This is first my Workaround

Re:

Today in good weather in the garden have pressed the CK, it looks perfect.

Two shots after polishing

..I'll replace the neon xizang decals with individual black!
