2000 Porsche S-Bike

[JimBobBurt]

Right-ho!… it’s finished…
Full XTR M950/51(thanks to @Matttymm & @Once A Hero)
And @Our Jimmy fancied a touch of grello to match the tyres & his helmet. Fortunately we had some leftover cable from his Pace build, a Cube bottle cage in the odds & sods bin and last but not least a set of NOS ODI attacks karma’d by @Smithjss70

Does it weigh any less? Well it did. It dropped down to just below 11kg but with the Turbo saddle, more modern tyres, manual dropper post and monster wide motor bike bars it’s right back (almost) where we started at 12kg. No worries, it’s clean now & works, hopefully I’ll get a quick ride in tomorrow.

And the cables? You getting all avant garde in your old age?

 

[The History Man]

Joking apart. Cables are not to my taste. Detract from the clean lines and build.

We are not owners, merely travellers on the path to the pinnacle of the mountain young padawan.

Oh that. Yes it’s longer. @yakboy or @Retro Spud might be better at explaining

Mines not Chris...you may need to level it up

 

[Peachy!]

Oops… well everything else is lined up & square & working. I just thought it was some sort of German design thing

They bombed our chip shop.


No wonder they lost.

And now it’s fixed. Cheers @novocaine , I really hadn’t given it a thought.
And cheers @yakboy for talking me through it
