    1990 Bianchi Sika

    One thing I noticed rebuilding 3-4 M900 units an others is that over the years Shimano changed things in small ways even between two separate M900 units, typically if nothing is broken inside all that is needed is a full strip down/clean/regrease as the original grease gets gummy and just needs...

    1990 Bianchi Sika

    Yep, I paid $5 for the DX brifter set a couple years ago at the local swap, never got around to using them but they've saved me twice now rebuilding M900 shifter pods 👍

    1990 Bianchi Sika

    A few changes made recently 😊 I decided to add an M900 skewer set recently freed up from another build. I knew M900 wheel skewers would not pair well with the current wheels which are arguably too new for my Bianchi build anyway especially the black CODA hubs. A decision was made to build a...

    1995 Cannondale Super V1000

    Having polished a 93' M800 BOTE frame & fork I know the level of effort required, well done 😍 Fantastic result and love the build choices. The CODA branded Dia Compe MK-II brake levers are a favorite of mine but I'm pretty sure they are cantilever only, wondering if you'd be better off with a...

    1989 Merlin Mountain

    You might say I’m a bit of a weight weenie LOL I certainly was BITD but in recent years I’ve realized that light weight in vintage bikes is not everything, my Brodie weights in around 26 pounds and I absolutely love the ride. Who doesn’t love a nice lightweight build though? In the last...
