Last night I snatched a bit of time to put some bits on.
I know the last 2 owners of this frame and I thought it had been built up before but I am struggling to find any evidence of it, let alone being ridden. Sold to me in very good condition but it could have been described as NOS, bar a couple of chips in the paint.
Took 20 minutes of filing to get the seat tube smooth enough to slide a post in without it destroying the anodising. Nice and smooth now.
Took a few bits off the GT to put on this bike. In the absence of a catalogue spec I am struggling to find out what should be on it BUT I think it should have Deore LX throughout. Thankfully that's what I have!!
I think the original brakes were silver shimano affairs but I have a black M734 super low pro front Canti and a XT U-brake on the way, which will look better on the PINK and chrome.
Black seatpost/bars/stem and Flite - well you have to to!
Big question is - stick with black cables OR go for neon pink with pink Oury grips?? Hmmm.
