1990 Scott Boulder - restoration project & FINISH :D

[skolioza]

So, pedals are ready I think looking not bad
In chronologic:

grinding

protecting

and painting

Final effect after polishing

Oh, about saddle - probably it's Turbomatic

 

[skolioza]

For this time it's finish
Later I think about white Panaracer Magic tyres, MT-60 breake levers, two same rims... We'll see what I'll found

excellent restoration...you brought that bike back from the dead

nice. now ride the heck out of it!!

I've dilema...
This bike was to be almost oryginal, with full LX M550 group (except thumbs/levers)
Few weeks ago I even found for him "new" wheels in perfect condition (still on LX 550 hubs but both with dark grey Formula rims)...
And then I found this:

1st Deore mechs and thumbs in very good condition, not used so much

So, in Your opinion should I replace them or not?

These would look much better on my 1989 Scott Boulder.

Back in the days i replaced that kit for XT Thumbies, 7-Speed hyperglide and XT Mech and threw the Deore-kit away...

shame on me

As a one of them I know some polish blokes could make amazing things from scrap and this is fine example :shock:

scott boulder '91

nice bike at all!

@ skolioza: you've the same boulder frame like me. Do you know the diameter of the seatpost for the '91 boulder frame? I'm not sure if it is 26.2 or 26.4 mm.

@all: if you know, you are invited to answer, too. Of course...

Thanks a lot

Re: scott boulder '91

not sure of the 91, but the 1990 boulder in this thread is 26.6 (just confirmed via mrs apes' original seatpost, still in place...).

durab - I don't have oryginal seatpost to 91, but 26,4 fits well Cheers!
