Here is the latest, for now it is just missing brakes (cantis for sure), chain and shifters, along with the cabling which I love doing, as it is the last job before tuning and maiden flight.
A real boring Shimano junkpile hotchpotch of Deore and Exage LX and STX, STX-RC rims. For now I have put on a riser bar instead of the flat bar due to this low and long Kalloy stem the Stumpy came with.
Those clean Mavic rims with Ritchey rubber make any old bike look fresh again.
It looks quite chirpy in this setup, though I am tempted to try the black version too. I did up a red '88 Hardrock with black wheels and components and it was beautiful.
As a side note, lacking the chain, one crank arm, one pedal, shifters and brake system, it weighs 22lb. I think this thing is going to be a hoot.
That BB axle is really short, so check out the pic of the really minimal clearance (<1mm) between the ring bolts and the chain stay. What is the recommended clearance?
..might be pushing it a bit.
