I replaced the headset, cassette, and cantilevers but I was able to use the original derailleurs, crank, and wheels. I replaced the consumables. I like the gearing on old MTBs (46/36/24 and an 11-28 7 speed cassette). I'm running 26 x 1.9 continental top contact winter tires. They're good for mixed pavement/snow. I'll install some fenders as soon as I track down the right mounting bolt. I like the way the bike came out.
Looks good. I like the use of a '7' stem instead of a riser and am doing similar (after seeing this) with a similar frame. I wanted to have 2x9 gearing (46/30 with 11-42) but couldn't get the 46 chainring on the chainline (stays to wide) so settled for 48/36/26 with 11-36.
