I think the photo dimensions being squished side to side make the seat look further up than it probably is. These frames generally measure about 18.5" centre to top for the 19" and then there is quite a big jump to the 20" which is really a 20.5" - I have found that in the past with Orange as...

I just wish my Procalibre from the same era was in the same sort of condition - its just lovely to find a late '80s retro-MTB that doesn'e need re-painting for a change - its a tribute to its original owner from new this one, he clearly kept it indoors really looked after it - amazing he had the...

keep me in reserve for Stumpjumper - would make a good local run about for me with a luggage rack on the back, I can collect next week if it doesn't go today/tomorrow as I will be passing then. I'd be happy to take the pair if available by then still Thanks MS

any takers before it gets dismantled and ebayed later this month?

I'd help you with my Marin branded stem above once I fit a replacement in a couple of weeks from now, but its so early its 1" quill unfortunatley not 1,1/8". It was interesting how Fisher went from 1" to 1,1/4" before eventually settling on 1,1/8" like everyone else.

I can probably use the 2 finger levers - I quite enjoy restoring those and have a pair or rubber hoods for them somewhere - I will send PM to see if they are still available.

Yes you are right they do. The old Door 4 finger levers work a treat on the 105 calipers, my Dave Yates road bike has on it, after a flat bar conversion. Yes I remember now it's V brakes and cable disc brakes that need long pull levers👍

that sounds cool - I know that some early Shimano mid-range groups like I had on my Kona DewDrop - had cable operated discs, and they were STI road levers that would also operate V-Brakes, so should also pull cantis' - I think that was what the Cane Creek levers I had previously were

PM me with prices on your various levers and I'll let you know which I'll take - looking like it might be preferring the Sora's becuse I can't find anything like the Cane Creek brake levers only I used to have up for sale anywhere to use the others - althogh I still think getting any road lever...

brings back memories - I used to have a pair of those - they ended up going with a GT LTS I sold. Always looked good. They made them in 20" BMX 26" and 700c too - would be good tri-bike wheels in 700c but you rarely see them. 👍

and try not to make it any cheaper or I'll have to do it - I've got an STX grouppo I'd put on it, use the XT on an Overbury's project, and then its just a set of 26mm bulge drop bars and some STI units with some brake adpaters. In fact the only reason I've not bought it already is that being...

nice, almost worth putting a set of drop bars on that and making a sensible size 26er gravel bike out of it, and the complete early XT group on it is worth a fair chunk of the £395 it costs anyone - and the 531 frame in pleasing colours and a nice finishing kit on top - decent tyres, sensible...

Thanks for those - I like the idea of either of those, just can't decide which way to go - will depend if I can source a nice pair of standard brake levers for drop bars, preferably something with the longest possible pull so I might get a set of canti's to work with them. I used to have some...

Thanks, yes possibly send me some snaps when you get a moment as I could make either of those work, depending which wheels/rear cassette I can fit. Thanks MS

no rush, but let me know over the next couple of weeks if you find anything. I'm also thinking for touring - drop bar end shifters (yet andother part I sold and should have hung onto - I had an Ultegra pair that would have done). Thanks

excellent, good to know that thanks, I will look out for some

25.4 quill stem that's steeper than 10 degrees, (45deg max) with 90-120mm reach a hole or pulley for front canti-s would be handy but not essential condition not esstential - I don't mind repainting or paying a bit more for 'as new' either way Something like a Syncros with a nice rise would...

I'd hang onto your mk.1s if I were you (I sold my original Reynolds531 Pace RC31 and spent ages tracking down another set -for my Marin Team Ti - (mainly because that what I had on a team-ti in the late'90s and its a nostalgia thing). Thanks for the photos but not sure what I could do with your...

Wanted tidy 3x7 or 3x8 road STI levers - will consider any brand or model for a project, thanks
