Thank you ;) The frame is standing in the basement, no decision made yet, what I will do with it. I don't want to hoard too many bikes and will move over some of the parts to the bike-tech.

So I've made a little "tool" to apply the stickers and it starts to look like bike again

My homemade decals have arrived. I'm already shaky only looking at them, hopefully I'm not messing things up ;)

I won't repaint the frame, just touch it up for the time being but it will get some new decals I'm still working on. I will also stick with the XT 770 V's and therefore already acquired some Tektro RL520 levers. So far so good 😃

Luckily I've found an original Ritchey Kalloy post in 26.6, fitted was a too short 26.8 mm. Stem is a no name, maybe the same cheap Taiwanese "Zoom" like the drop bars I've bought. Headset is a Tange Aluminum cartridge, nothing wrong with it.

But the reason I picked it is it's short 56 cm top tube and it's outstanding room for tires. I could easily fit 50 mm tires, these are just 44 mm Compass and because I'm a drop bars guy 🤷‍♂️

Solid Tange Infinity, no boutique 853 Reynolds

It definitely has some paint issues ;) but structurally seems to be fine

So... I've sourced a second Bike-tech Toyo Multicross and the Stevens is history :(:)

Finally the sun came out, back to the other side of les vosges and a piece of Quiche for the final 30 km

Somewhere in the french countryside

Lockmaster's House (one of a dozen) at the abandoned Rhine Marne Channel

Kind of a lake ride near Salzburg. Didn't expect a temperature drop from 27 to 13 degrees 😄 no swimming this time

7 hours odyssey by train to Östria followed by 40 km of cycling to forget the first part 😤

Totally agree. The C's are more like a Turbo. I didn't like it.

That's Jagst valley in Görmany ;)

View into the valley, then 80 km down the river. Lots of apple trees along the way, picked 3 and never felt tired 🍎

Just 20 km along the river to the public pool next town and back. Needed the rear wheel for my touring bike, which I finally rebuilt, so this one sat in the attic for almost a year 😯

Did Shimano ever offer different ones than these and the current versions? Their length is about the same. So they probably had different things in mind than clearance 🤔
