Mod retro conversion....the ultimate 80s trackie.

Its also good as every bit came out if boxes in the shed...so at least they are now being used, rather than sitting doing nothing.

Its a far more attractive storage solution!

Looking good, what size is it? It looks the same size as mine at 58cm

Loving the XC pro cockpit, was that NOS...looks pristine. I'm sure it will be a sweet ride.

Final question, what size tyres are you using.

You'd think with my modern build that parts would be easy to source but I am now completely stymied for the lack of two brake pad retainer screws that seem to be a specific spec that is impossible to find and not listed in the SRAM catalogue!

Its xl 60cm. The tyres are 40c nanos. They measure up at 41mm.

The xc pro is just some bits from the shed, the levers dont actually have the correct barrel adjusters...

The shifter was built out of my xc pro shifter spares box...over the years ive gained loads of them as scrap. I normally get the bodies, clamps and tops cerakoted then rebuild the guts from bits of others.

Great shifters and genuinely do 8 speed (they switch between 7 and 8 which is a great help. Plus suntours spacing was more akin to shimano 8 speed for both 7 and 8...so oddly they do 8 speed shimano, better than 7!
