Very much depends just how far gone it is, whether or not it was me that caused it and have the stories to go with it. :)

That's pretty cool! I had an immaculate set of silver Joystix that I dearly regret selling. I still think they're my favourite looking cranks. :)

This one's still about, is still cool and I feel a bit bad that it doesn't get used a lot. Might have to remedy that in the morning. 👍 😁

95 Vertex 👍😁

Honestly, if it were a choice between that and wallhanger? Pass me the picture hooks.

The tinkering continues. Like the Race Lite I think we're near forever spec with this too. As bad as it sounds I think I'm on the verge of a break from retro for a while, I'll be keeping the Bontys but modern is calling. 👍 😁 The Sachs stuff works and is pretty cool but I'm an XTR man at heart...

I might be slightly biased but you can never go wrong with a nice Bonty and this is a nice Bonty! They have a nasty habit of multiplying in my experience. :) Anyhoo, signing in for updates.

There's nothing wrong with thumbies, especially the Suntour variety and they're a good fit with the brake levers. 😁 I've never liked bar ends, I tend to ride with my hands on the very ends of the bars and they get in the way. Also wider bars give some of the advantages anyway, like opening your...

Of course I've been faffing about with this again. I think it's just a Ti Flat-Tracker away from forever spec* (I have one, it's been on the bike but it lives on the Ti Lite), been using it a fair bit recently and it's just a bloody brilliant thing. 22lbs of comfy, speedy, whippy steel. 👍 😁 * 😂...

It's £60 at RRP but as it's been around forever you can usually find one used for £30-40. I don't think that's ridiculous. The only 10 speed XT shifter still available new is the SL-T8000 which is £63 so pretty much the same but I expect you'll find M771/780 cheaper used. :)
