This bike makes me dream of building a 29” retro mountain bike!!!🥰

Sorry forgot to mention - manly after steel or aluminium

My wife’s 1996 privateer with a mix of original and new parts.

Both my privateers use a 27.0 post - maybe double check the size

Hi I’m looking for a 29” hardtail size m or l depending on geometry. V-brakes is a plus. I need clearance for 2.2” tires. The main criteria is that it’s built for non or a minimum of suspension, as I would like to use a rigid fork.

10-speed campag works perfect whit 8sp shimano - thy have the same cable pull which is what’s important in this case

She acted as touringrig this week - did great!

First test, I think it’s going to work out well

The cockpit is coming together, lowkey bling - Paul lovelevers and shifters on an old titanium riser:

I will definitely keep the bontrager stem. I also have some Salsa but the original parts fit so nicely only problem is the shaft is pretty short so there isn’t much space to mount a child seat.

Finally got the frame stripped and started slowly on the new build. First bit is an old CK headset, it was mounted on my old bilenky cargo bike, but low cup ended up cracking (10+ years on the streets as a messenger bike) Chris King replaced the part but the other cup is very faded and didn’t...

Are you sticking with the raceing green? Did you find new decals somewhere?

Did you ever get to finish your build?

Looks very nice, shows one more time how versatile these bontragers are! What forks are you using? Is it the 425mm tange or an shorter version? Maybe you could post a drive side shot.
