What to do in the event of a total blackout: a Revolution!

[Obi-Juan]

I had to go to France for personal reasons and was away all week. In fact, I'm leaving again tomorrow, so I wasn't able to make much progress.
Thank goodness I almost finished it the day of the "total blackout."

It still needs finishing, but it already has everything it needs and is tight.

I think I've already mentioned that I'm a true "grip shifter." I don't know if that term exists or if I just made it up.
Well, I've been using it for over 30 years and have many versions, including the first triathlon versions. I know very few people like it and I get criticized a lot for it, but if I didn't care at 20, imagine how little I care about criticism at 60. It's what best suits my way of enjoying MTB.

So an X-Ray I had lying around was my option. I have to get new decals done; everything will come.
The 737 brake levers "tuned" in my youth are very nice and don't look like they ever had an STI attached.

I've had bad luck with the brakes: in my attic, I had a pair of Dia-Compe VC900S NOS and Onza HO NOS. I started looking for the missing pair for both of them and found some Dia-Compe, and they were NOS, just like mine. I bought them, but in the end, the seller couldn't find them and had to cancel the purchase. Better luck next time...
A friend from Foromtb Spain sent me some Dia-Compes Versa C5 that work, I like them, and for now I can finish the bike. I think the Lyzard Skin Cable Hangers belong here because they're very irreverent, and the Kirk was one at the time.

The grips were Coda I had lying around the house, also new (this bike has a lot of NOS components, I must think I'm very fond of it), an HG-90, and for the seatpost I chose a Thompson Elite I had stashed away. I have to use parts, I have to avoid Diogenes syndrome. I like it; it's black like the stem, the rims, and the fork.
For the saddle, I put a white NOS Flite that I had stashed away. I don't know, I like the contrast, but I welcome ideas.

And for the pedals...
Well, I discovered Time decades ago, and they're the ones I usually use. I have Sierra NOS pedals; they're the direct competition to the Look MP-90, with one side for a cleat and the other for a platform. They fit the era and a bike with a groundbreaking look.
Awarded.
PS: The attack cleats are useless.
