'3 in 1' cable guides: Triangular cutout in canti hanger: No rack mounts on dropouts: Equals 1993 Prestige. Why yes, that is my orange anorak in the corner...

The red spider is probably the CD version of the silver one. BCD for the granny ring should be 58mm which is 34.1mm from hole to hole. The silver one is for full sized chainrings so 74mm BCD (43.5mm hole to hole). All sizes on Sheldon's website: https://www.sheldonbrown.com/cribsheet-bcd.html...

Nicely done and some proper shed engineering! I was wondering how you were going to keep the disc tabs perfectly aligned whilst still allowing access for the flame and brazing rod but that picture illustrates it nicely.

Almost any half decent 90's era frame can be made even betterer with a disc conversion. This got nothing but positive comments back in the day... https://www.retrobike.co.uk/threads/lowered-price-1994-fat-chance-team-yo-eddy-with-a-twist.166865/ The real sacrilege is all those old frames...

XTR rear wheel has made it's way to North Yorkshire... Currently has a home on the Orange bitzer... Also, @bikeworkshop is such a good bloke that he chucked in the 105 front wheel free of charge even though it cost more to post it. Not many sellers would do that, so thank you!

Top of tread to bottom of seatstay yoke is 10mm, edge of tread to inside of seatstays is 13mm... NDS clearance is 14mm, DS is 10mm... There's about 7mm clearance to the anti-chainsuck plate but you could always file a bit off!

I recently built some DT R500's for a 700c gravel bike and out of curiosity I've just fitted one to my F5 to see how much clearance it had... That's with a Pirelli Cinturato M 700x40mm and there's still enough room for mudguards. That frame is a 16.5 inch so it would probably look a bit...

The 'two skinny donuts' antenna on the Elettra looks like a direction finding antenna so it's possibly the control dial for that? (looks like it's divided up into 360 degrees)

It was @Enid_Puceflange's Super V that was the catalyst for the '97 cut off date. There was no 'Pre 98' category when he posted it but because it was full sus with discs and dual crown forks people spat their tea out and choked on their hob nobs. It turned into a 12 page thread about what...

On early versions the drive side end cap has a small grub screw which tightens on to the axle. On later versions the drive side end cap has an o-ring inside which sits in a groove on the axle. Use plenty of grease on it as if it dries out it becomes quite hard to get the end cap off.

Carbon Jekyll maybe? Shock is mounted inside the downtube and the chain looks like it's running over an idler.

Point Reyes lighthouse is the Antonio Bay lighthouse in 'The Fog'. Doesn't look quite so spooky on Google maps... :)
