Nice head tube badge, looks legit to me. I pushed my seat virtually as far forwards as possible on mine which definitely fixed the "following the bike" feeling I also had a lot of front end lifting while climbing which that seemed to fix as well.

Question, where did you get your hands on that Reba? Jealous of how good it looks, but I've found hunting for quick release straight steerer forks is so difficult. Ebay is chock full of horrid condition forks listed for $200-$300. So many old fox F100s with serious stanchion wear.

Pulled the trigger and bought a used One up v2 90mm dropper. Had to go over it with a sander and take about 0.05 mm of the post though since the fit was ridiculously tight in the seat tube. Big shout out to my colleges student workshop, definitely had some weird looks going at my frame with a...

good to hear that, I was quite concerned about my dropper plans but given its so close to 27.2 I think its doable. I plan on using an internally routed dropper so I am going to drill a 4mm hole in the seat tube as far as I can from the welds at the top tube and bottom bracket. I am unfortunately...

I recently finished restoring an old pair of elixir brakes and threw them on for now. Seeing if they live up to their bad reputation but so far I like them. I also cut the gear indicator off my shifter to move it on the outside of the brake so I could shift without moving my hand, worked...

Very strangely my seat tube is about 27.18mm in diameter when I measured with a caliper. Makes me weary of my dropper post plan. I was able to fit a 27.2 seat post in from another bike I had but the fit was ridiculously tight and took about 30 seconds of muscling to move in and out. given its a...

So cool! Did not realize there were more retro mount visions riding. Did you add the Black paint yourself? The all Black looks super clean

Thank you! It really is a beautiful frame, nothing beats the polished aluminum and X shape. I opted for a 100mm Rockshox Judy 27.5, former remote lockout but I found I never used the lockout so I took it off. The longer fork gives it about a 69 degree headtube angle but makes the bottom...

This may be super random, but I think you may be one of three retro build Mount Visions on Earth (I found one other on youtube). I actually used this as a guide for my own build. Pulled my fathers bike out and made it into a proper mtb again. I had to make a rear brake mount, pretty much...
