Orange Vitamin T still in use

Seatpost quick release pulled into the 21st century, m970 skewer, required a little modification. IMG_20250615_142204.webp
Is this the final top spec shimano qr as the world-and-their-carbon-frames rushed towards thru'axle?

I think it looks good,
I'm surprised I've never seen another one,
surely there are some out there?

The M900 seatpost QR weighed about as much as a tyre! 20250613_193318.webp

Remember putting your film camera on a rock with the self timer, rushing over to your bike, leaping aboard, pedaling to the focal zone?🤣

Must've been raining as our waterproofs are at the ready, and there's a bin bag flapping on Bob!
Y2k loire atlantique iirc.

Love these time capsule photos - need to have a rummage to see if I have similar for my Vir T. Was thinking of selling it but you're making me change my mind.

If it ain't broke don't sell it😉

Such an adaptable frame, as long as you ride where short travel sus is enough but not too much.

As you can see in the thread, I've got discs and rack mounts added - I love this bike🥰
 
What a fabulous thread. The freedom that a bike can give is often forgotten, to have captured it so well in your pics is just brilliant - and particularly from a time when the instant gratification of a phone snap wasn't even a concept - you'd relive the memories after getting your prints from the shop.

One day I'll have a Vitamin T :)
