I'm looking for the cable stop for an FSX also I recall seeing a post somewhere and someone managed to fabricate their own. Does anyone know who that was? Or does anyone have one of these FSX cable stops to part with?

Cool writeup. I have a question for you. When in friction mode, is the rear shifter supposed to ratchet like the front shifter does in friction mode? Mine clicks like index mode, but with an extra click or two. Feels nothing like the front shifter in friction mode, which I would decribe...

Need one to go with my FSX! I'm across the pond, though...not that it matters, right? I'll happily return the favor for your trouble as future ebay USA liason.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/NOS-RITCHEY-COM ... _500wt_997 Says it's NOS, but I think it loks like a repaint and new decals. Says it's a '98? I think that's not right either, but to me, the decals are from a much older style than post P-23 you guys think it's legit?

Pretty sure the ritchey logics take 120mm. At least that's what came on my '92 bridgestone mb-1 and '94 ritchey p-21, both 110bcd and original bottom brackets.

Those aren't the original legs though as they are pressed into the crown/steerer. Also, the hardware while be ti throughout no? Should the lower bolts be rusting like that if they are Ti?

I know this shop I went to school in Madiaon, WI and went to this shop often back in the early 90's. They were a specialized dealer for the most part at the time. They always had a ton of tricked out parts for sale that I couldn't afford. I have no doubt they've got a massive stash of NOS...

Are my XC-Pros in friction mode working right? I have some XC-Pro 7-spd thumbies from a '92 Bridgestone MB-1 that I set up last night with a 9-speed shimano cassette to see if they could pull enough cable in friction mode. When I set the shifter to friction mode, I still get some definitive...

How did you do the polished decal bit? WD Pro, how did you do the polished decal on the handlebars? I've been trying to find some info on doing that to a ti frame, but haven't found much yet. I figure I need to use some sort of stencil, which I can make from a vinyl cutter I have, but not sure...

I've got the '09 SIDs with cantis on my Xizang at 80mm. Incredible upgrade from the older 28mm SIDs.

[cough!]! :P :P

Pretty nice work with the welding. Did you do that or have someone do it for you?

Based on some hokey info I found online, my '93 Bonty Race seatpost size should be 26.8mm: http://ridesmarter.com/archives/frames/ ... _specs.htm But the seatpost I'm using is insanely tight. My new post is already scratched up from a rough insertion. And yes, I lubed it up plenty.8) I...

Thanks guys! I guess I should have put this into the Reader's bikes section...oops Anyway, I just built it up as a singlespeed for now. Paul Thumbies for Shimano Barcons don't seem to be in stock anywhere until late August, so I won't make it a 1x9 until then. I'll probably get one of the...

ok, so I came across this super beat up Bonty Race on my local craigslist a few months back and seeing how I always wanted a Bonty I snatched it up. It came with an equally beat up Vicious Cycles rigid fork, whose steerer was about 1/4" too short for my liking. The previous owner used it this...

'97 Xizang '97 GT Xizang (with '95 decals). 22.5lbs incl. XTR 959 pedals. '09 XTR for cranks, shifters, levers. Wheels are Mavic 517 with Hugi 240 (off Specialized '03 S-works) with DT Swiss 9mm RWS up front. Replaced original '98 SID with 80mm '09 SID Race that I got for a song. Hard to find...

Litespeed did those frames? For shame! The seatstay and BB junction look horrible. More like Aluminum welds than Ti welds I've seen, like on my Xizang:

Nice polishing job How much does it run from a pro? Is it me, or do the welds look sloppy! :lol:

I dig it. I've been trying to do some research on these for a couple days now. What I like is the color scheme. It looks great. I also like that it has a 1-1/8" headtube (learned my "lesson" with the Ritchey P21's 1-inch). I also like that it's been modernized with decent parts...

How about "P 012"? It's a P-21, 17" size. No idea of the year, but the original parts suggested a '96...
