Haven’t even sat on her yet. We have a lot of snow and ice and it’s not exactly set up for that. Appreciate the kind words. Thinking about grips. Oury, Deity maybe Specialized not sure....have Zee cage on the way and gold chain. So it’s kinda experiment as I go now. Also not in hurry to getter dirty yet. I haven’t waxed the paint yet either. I do have to say the Jagwire cabling was definitely worth the extra money wow didn’t think cable could be so different. Top quality stuff for sure.

Well Done. A Stunning Restoration 👍

Color is similar to this Rockhopper I just got in a trade-off. It was in poor condition, but cleaned it up & replaced a few parts. Nothing compared to what you’ve done w/ yours’....
Needs a newer saddle & new brake pads still.

....from the 80’s I believe?

That's looking good. If I can make a comment, your chain is too long in that picture. In the large cog, the derailleur arm should be about 45 degrees. Short chains help with snappy shifting and chain retention.

Thanks for the advice, I’m still learning as I go. Probably changing out the chain and eventually maybe add 8 speed cassette. I want to ride for awhile first to feel out the ratios I like.

Great-looking bike. All the parts and accessories work to enhance the look, color-wise. Nice.

Just picked up a Crane Suzu Mini bell (45mm dome), myself. Mounts via an integrated 10mm spacer on the steerer. Great long-lasting "ding." A bit higher-pitched that I thought it would be, but it's fairly loud for a small bell. I prefer the deeper, louder sound of the 55mm domed bell (which appears to be the one you have), but the Mini has the spacer mount.

Will get pics posted, once I've put the remaining drive train parts together and got it all running. ('96 Trek 970 w/ Deore XT 2x11.)

Nice, your bike sounds like a good one. Yes the bells Ding goes on for awhile, so awesome! And the brass is so classy
