I ran that bike with dia compe ss7s and then put the old levers back on when i sold it, couldnt get the original set up to work at all...

Glad its getting well used!

Ah, well then you're moving from my financial restrictions to my time restrictions ;-).

Much like Karlos' I'm afraid. I'd probably still be running the terrible originals but I literally had to walk the bike down my hill to work because the noise from those brakes was the worst I've ever heard and I didn't want to piss the neighbours off! And theyre weird brake blocks similar to v-brakes so I couldn't just switch the blocks.

One day I'll get all my bikes set up exactly as I want them!

Well i've finally finished the old girl with full XT groupset of the correct year....

Let me know what you all think, main thing is i love it and it goes like s**t ha

Nice. Looks like it was meant to be just like that. Much cleaner without cheaply plastic bits. I should get one of mine built up now I've seen this.

 

[Karlos1000]

Cheers the frame colour really sets it off still my favourite of all time

It has come up very nice and shiny there. I was meant to be building my 1990 unicorn bike Seeker but 1989 look so much better made. Mines a lot more scratched though. Yeah well done, keep us posted and grab some more pics!

That's lovely! The frame looks to have come up incredibly well. Great job!

 

[jimwise68]

[Karlos1000]

Farmer John nephews matey the hardest tyres to get on and off the rins I've ever experienced but they lot great ha

Superb frame set that always needed a better group IMHO.
