Fit a short hanger extender. They are cheap off ebay and you dont need to fork out for a Wolf Tooth Road Link. The mech will manage the difference between the small and largest gears

^ +1 A 19-20 at 6'. An 18 is too small.

Wowzers! I was joking and there it is.

Time for disc wheels to actually be disc wheels. Bloomin great 26" metal disc and a deep reach four pot caliper mounted off the seat tube.

Fit another pair on the back of the fork. We will then all chip in to pay for @Imlach to fly over and do a video of setting them up.

Regarding old school minis i have always preferred a super revvy engine with 80-90ish horsepower. lightweight engine internals, super light flywheel, quality clutch, and a cam and carb combo that picks up quick sharp and revs on. Programmable ignition is the way to go instead of fecking about...

First dibs. Pm sent.

I think it is a pair. One out of the bag to show details. Would be a slow burn project but it would be fun to build a nice italian CX bike up with FRM.

They are yummy and pretty rare 👍

Looks great! 👍

Tis but a scratch!

Those seat stay tops!

Might have written mine off so putting feelers out there for a replacement. An E4 is of interest too. Please pm as i am having problems presently navigating the site with my brain.

There were definitely some porky years, but there were light versions. Someone had one on RB that was 1200, but i see now it was a 17.5. Disc only frames 19.5" from 2000 are on weightweenies as being around 1200.

I missed the part about a more modern frame being an option. There are plenty sub kilo modern frames to choose from.
