    i am currently planning a build which would see me using a 2015 frame and fork (steel, retro-ish) but which would incorporate a lot of retro elements. particularly, i am wondering about the drivetrain. would it be possible to use 1990-94 era cranks and hubs/cassette? or have things like spacing...

    xc pro cantis question

    Just got a beautiful set of these off ebay... and 3 of 4 work great. With the 4th, though, I just can't get any spring tension. I get that these are self-contained, and don't enter the frame's boss, but with the rest I am able to adjust tension with a cone wrench while tightening the brake...

    even back then...

    in 1992 i went to my first big race, the worlds at bromont. my ride then was a 1992 stumpjumper - the purple one with full dx. long story short, met a guy in the parking lot on a beautiful 88 ritchey. we actually ended up trading cantilevers....my 92 low profile dx ones for his 88 triangle...

    does anyone remember this bike?

    so my first ride was a 1990 nishiki barbarian with elevated chainstays. rather than resembling an alien or an ariel, it looked more like a yeti ultimate without the looped stays. i think nishiki was a different brand in canada back then, a name used by norco to sell taiwanese frames under...
