Sweet! There's another going cheap on the Bay at the moment.

Not loving that Alivio crank though, the rest is lovely!

 

[superstu]

Big fan of that! Looks sweet, you've done a really good job.
Any further plans for it?

Wanna give me that M737 mech? Got some good things if you do.

Those bontrager saddles arent the most comfortable are they? Or do they break in?

You have done a good job on the bike. Are they as pogo-y as they seem? They are URT rear suspension arent they?

stiffen spring so not much bounce when u stand up and pedle its ok will let u know about seat going 4 a ride on sunday

 

[coomber]

Seats are a nice shape and light but I find mind hurts a lot after a while riding.

Hoping you report back saying its not too bad!

Good polishing skills by the way.

 

[m3vwg]

will do! have done a lot of polishing on bike to get it nice

Very nice job . Just needs a period XT chainset to finish the look off.
Good choice on the tyres too, so much better than old rubber. Cheap, works well and looks good too. Get out and thrash it!
