Oh wait I was looking at the '89 catalog. "The Centaur group is supplied with the Euclid front derailleur." Probably wishful thinking.... Funny thing is, I bought it right about the time I despaired of getting Campy mtb gear for a reasonable price. As a consolation prize, I bought this...

Random purchase off eBay. Wonder if it might not be a 1988 Euclid

I don't see how you beat that for an inexpensive vintage MTB. Sweet ride

DrDaveTampa's 1998 Kona Kilauea. Link for deets

Found this frame on Ebay in rough condition. Powder coated mustard yellow and replaced decals to match original. Not exactly a catalog rebuild, but I gotta ride this thing so Fox fork and clutch derailleur it is. I put an XT 10 speed derailleur on the thing but the secret sauce is the Saint...

I'd buy it stat, except facebook is so sketchy. Anybody know of a good bike shop in Pietra Ligure? Get eyeballs on the thing

I know people talk smack about XTR v brakes but I absolutely love the durn things. Kinda feel the same about Mavic 230 TIB rims. I guess a racer could tear either one of those apart in a few minutes, but I'm no racer. RE forks, marzocchi of course, is that a trick question? I dunno, the...

Kinda have my eye on House of Looptail's Snake Belly tires (he has a presence on Facebook). He keeps threatening to re-release the Megabyte, although for what I use my Ritchey for, the Snake Belly would be about perfect

Yeah the black cranks really work. What kinda tires are you thinking?

All kinds of stuff you can do with the front wheel, but only so much you can do with the rear. You can cram a bigger rim in there, but not a bigger wheel in terms of diameter. Given the limits on diameter, I'd just as soon put a fat (ish) 26" tire back there. I converted a frame like that...
