S-Works Steel project

Scored a grey Flite saddle from Gringineer Cycles. It's a bit darker, but a pretty good match to the grips.



Looking forward to getting it riding now!

S-Works is up and running!
Still a bit of fine-tuning to do - keen to swap out the old XTR pads for some new Kool-Stops, and I’d like to find a front mech in good condition that doesn’t need a shim.

Rides really nicely though - very happy with it.

Pretty much all XT 737. I did manage to score a lovely M900 titanium cassette for it.

Time to enjoy it... while I continue fiddling with it!

What a beautiful bike. Steel frame elegance.

How is the ride? Looks like a stretched riding position (as per the early/mid 90’s) - still comfortable?

I went for a 30km pedal with some mates today. Rides bloody nice, light and responsive. Position wise it felt pretty good, not sure how I’d feel around the 50km plus mark though!

Tasteful and not over the top. Very nice frame color. Needs grey Specialized UmmaGumma tires
