I am going to cross post this here because this is sort of vintage, and it was you all here in the Vintage Forums that inspired me to tackle this project.

This is my first complete do it all myself build from scratch. It started off as a 1992 Specialized Crossroads Trail frame with Tange 1 steel tubing and ended up as this.







I had frame, fork, and cranks sandblasted and powder coated. It is built up with a hodge podge of stuff I already had, ebay/craigslist finds, and few of our favorite internet retailers. It has New ultegra 8 speed bar end shifters, NOS Deore XT rear derailure, NOS Deore DX front derailure, 105 52/42/32 triple crankset, New Cane Creek SCR-5 brake levers, NOS Diacompe 986 cantilever brakes, Nitto Technomic Stem, Ritchey Logic Headset, Zoom Alloy Bars, Uno seatpost, Selle Italia Trans-Am Xo saddle, and depending on what I decide, either my ultegra/open pros, or Mavic CXP 11's with Coda Hubs.

Thanks everyone.
