'91 McMahon Titanium - Journey's end

[classen]

First off.... HOLY CR4P that's a beautiful bike!
This really was one of my dream projects BITD. Never had the cash when I was in college (not so much now either :?).
Now to nit pic.
If rear brakes are U-brakes shouldn't you be using some MRC powerlinks? I'm sure blue ano was made. I certainly remember purple, black and silver.
Also I may have missed it somewher in this thread, but what are those cranks?

Cheers,

This was my dream bike back in the day too. Last time the powerlinks came up for sale in blue I didn't have the money for them......

And the cranks are mrc (McMahon's) own steely danz cranks....

is that the height you'd be riding the saddle at? if not, lowering that down to the right height could help the look.

if you're planning on some blue grips, like perhaps yeti speedgrips, i think it will tie in and balance the saddle.

Give or take a maximum of an inch for fine tuning, that's pretty much at the right level for me..

ouch, my back hurts just from looking at that!

It's not too bad - note the rise of the stem, and some spacery atop the headset... Not pretty, but it'llhelp prevent chronic back fatigue.

like the saddle (although maybe better if just a normal one without the kevlar corners)

and i'd 3rd the back tyres idea


i was thinking of umma gummas at first though!
so what do i know

even with the riser stem and HS spacers, that's plenty steep. and i thought my Merlin had a low dip.

What are you embarrassed about lanky........

 

[RockiMtn]

yes honestly, i didn't mean it as an embarrassment. just in awe that you can ride so low still! :shock:

Generally at our ages your belly precludes the flat stance position.........Not in my case though
