Hey all,
Just thought I'd share this. While going through some old boxes in storage, I found a small box filled with brand new components. I bought them about 10 years ago with the intent of buying a new frame. Then I got married, the box of components got packed away, and I forgot about them. So, I've decided to give them a new life on my 1993 Trek 800. I bought this bike when I was 13. It has over 12,000 miles on it. It will be my winter bike. Today I pulled all the old components off and cleaned it up. Somewhere along the way, I misplaced the seat and seat post.

In the box were:
8-Speed Shimano XT derailleur
Shimano XT front Der
Shimano LX cantilever brakes
Shimano LX shifter/brake lever group
After the seat post, I'm going to order fenders. I'm seriously thinking about picking up an XtraCycle kit for this, too.
I will update this thread when the build is complete and when I have snow pics :)
