Bar grip time.....
Grips were simple, grab on mtn-1, then I ordered some neon yellow bar tape, I was umming and arring over colour and was leaning to that... Or maybe black
in the end the yellow was too tame and another black option came along
I found another option in the form of golf club grip,.... I know... A new one for me too, it's simple, order slightly larger than 22mm (I used 25mm) and slipped it on, then a bit of heat in the form of the blowtorch.
Hey presto.... Grippy AT4 pros

Postcard perv time
Short ride to make sure it's not loose anywhere
Front derailleur needs some fetteling and nos squeaky brake blocks by otherwise the usual clunky suntour shifting

Beautiful day so I guess it's time to do some obligatory RBG wall photos.
Those lovely brakes..... Mmmmm
Scott at4 pro bars, love these things..... They keep pedestrians of your knuckles. The grab-on grips are so comfortable
Suntour xcd drivetrain, love this stuff remember seeing it on a redline 44 in your cycleworks back in the day
Suntour XC seat post and a turbo special gifted to me by the late bikeshopowner who also worked at York cycleworks.
Enjoy

Looks great. Like a brand new bike.
And Suntour;.
I wonder how many Sallow MTB’s there are in the UK. Can’t be many?
Now then fella, hope your good.
Yes it pops like a new bike but you can deffo see the patina on the suntour kit, I don't mind it though as perfection was never the goal, just the idea of the old days and the bright yellow derailleur guard, zefal pump, frame bag and cables that made me wanna go eye catchingly bright retro.
Can't be many around, I e seen a few on here and another in the flesh but definitely not as common as the fat chances and Klein as such.
