Cat With No Tail
Dirt Disciple
My first ever retro project.
Bought off ebay for £150. No idea if that's good or not, it seems grand to me. Going to mainly be used for commuter duties I'm afraid.
Sold as a 1992 but I have no idea if that's correct. If anyone would care to enlighten me, or tell me how I can find out, that would be superb.
Paintjob has seen better days but there are no flakes bubbles or cracks in the frame.
Current spec:
19" Orange Clockwork Frame
Deore LX Hubs on Mavic 231 rims
Deore LX Chainset
Deore LX Front and Rear Mech
Deore V-Brakes with XT Levers
Ritchey Bars
The following upgrades are on the way as we speak:
XT Hubs on Mavic 281 Rims
Raceface Next SL Carbon Bars (Modern part, but I had some laying around off an old XC race build and it's a good way to shave some weight).
Poshbikes Nitrile Foam Grips
Ragley Cheeky Saddle (because it's what I use on everything else)
Frame will be stripped back and re-sprayed (maybe black) when I get round to it.
