Bump

I'm looking for a well used XTR M901 (that's top pull) front mech for a project. Can be any clamp diameter as long as it's top pull. What have you got lurking in the darkest corners of your spares draw that you thought would never see the light of day?...

Is it crack free? Seat tube / top tube interface is usually where they go.

Yep not too many out there, and seemingly even fewer in used condition - perhaps all still attached to the frames they were designed for. I've enquired about that one, but given it's location in the US and me in the UK, I don't think it'll undercut the NOS ones available by much.

As per title, I'm on the look out for a Deore XT front derailleur, needs to be M737/8 era, must be top pull, and must be the braze-on type. Condition - ideally rough, well used, just as long as its intact. I have a NOS stock item and there are other NOS items out there, but I'm looking for a...

Agreed. And the head tube decal is on upside down...

@Russell is looking for one of these

Been looking for one of these for ever. Just wish it was smaller, the lighter grey colour, and a lot closer to home 🤣

@Cetim can you PM with what you want separately for the new in packet USE bar ends, and how much for all the USE bar ends? Thanks :cool:

Ah yes, but I was referring to the same sort of size in black, which seem more elusive.

😂 I could finish it this evening if I had the time to do so... but finishing it to the spec I have planned however, that's a different story 😂 Yours is coming along nicely, doing a build thread for it?

Small update now that the tyres have arrived, cheers @1552. Mounted them to the wheels I purchased recently; XTR M910 hubs on Mavic 220 rims, all period correct for the build year. This is first opportunity since strip down to get it stood on wheels as is; I won’t know if the 130mm...

Difficult to find in sensible sizes like 26.8 - 27.2 based on my efforts to get one for my Campag Kona.

I came to that conclusion due to the lack of straight cap main triangle (I think that's the give away?) - but I couldn't actually establish what it was. Appears to be '94 rear triangle but what model/year is the front from?

BTTT :)
