Jay, how do you ride with your seat pointing up your ring! Is this some form of fetish i've been missing out on!??

yer give it a go, ha ive never really paid attention to the angle of my seat till now,

no wonder i hardlt sit down when riding

OK,heres a quick pic
The frame is a RSP torus,it has the date letter H so if 1990 is letter A,then H must be 1997,makes it retro i guess :?
My m739 shifters and mechs are being replaced,the flaat narrow kore bar for a ritchey rizer
The new hope tech lever is quite fat so getting shifters to fit has be a bit of a nightmare,easiest thing to do was change to 9 speed and fit matchmaker clamps.Im changing to Sram X.9 for the shifters and mechs.I was needing a new cassette so i need to replace that and the chain for the matching Sram.
I ditched the wavy rotors that were on it for the nice C2 ones.Proper round rotor with proper round holes

Love that!

sweet ride fella

My first retrobike build. I loved old alpinestars, but liked modern technology too. This seemed the obvious solution!

The term 'Hot-Rods' seems to have been coined to label these retro/modern creations. Would love a 'Hot-Rod BoTM' :twisted:

Alpinestars Cro-Mega XT 1992 meets 2008 (Hot-Rod)

You have to take risks sometimes
