Thanks! I'll definitely use those pictures for a colormatch! As I recall, the bike originally had a silver Specialized ahead stem, with a small logo-decal on top, and two-bolt faceplate. Could that be true? Cheers, Ulrich

Amazing frame and history. And those brakes!!!! Are they as powerless, as I fear? They're certainly beautiful! 8) Very nice!

My everyday bike since 1998. Bought it as an Ultegra equipped roadbike back in '97, moved the parts to a nice steel frame, and it has been like this since. :-) Fast and light! 7-speed with an XT thumbshifter.

Think the worst thing I have ever sold was this wheelset: Mavic 217 silver rims (old decals) TNT 8-speed cassette rear hub Nuke Proof Ti front hub Ritchey 1,8/1,5 DB spokes w. alloy nipples Ritchey Z-Max WCS 26x1,7" tires Needed the money, but still... :cry:

Guess you're right. But I would just hate snapping the front of my stem doing that...

Thanks! :wink:

Very nice bike! Keep the Middleburns. They go well with the Syncros Ti post, and are much nicer to look at than XTR's! Go for a silver stem, and keep a riser bar on for a bit taller front end. And, as somebody wrote, matching headset, seatclamp and skewers are a must. Oh, and a black...

Hmmm. Might try a find one of those. :-) Thanks.

Yup. Might be a good idea. Heard bad things about that type of shimming though. Will it wear out over time? Maybe I should use a strip of can from a strong beer, or something like that... :wink:

I have a really nice NOS ControlTech road ahead stem. This has a clamp diameter of 26.00 mm. But I would like to fit it with a mountainbike handlebar for my commuter bike. This is 25.4 mm though. Does anybody know if this stem will be able to clamp the handlebar securely, without damaging...

Phew! Tough month! So many fantastic bikes, but the Mantis does it for me! :shock: :D

That Schor is beautiful! Just my kind of bike. 8)

Or maybe coconut? All brown and hairy... :lol: Nice trio by the way!

I personally have had very few issues with radial lacing. Only once, a newly built front wheel loosened on its 2nd ride (but I hadn't re-tightened after my first ride). I have radial lacing on the front of my MTB, and front + left rear on my commuter/old road bike. Never had any problems. I...

Depending on which fork he is going to use, I don't see any problems with that. Thing is, a bike designed around an 80 mm fork would probably date the frame to the late nineties. And back then, fork sag was not as much as it is today. So fitting a properly setup modern 100 mm fork, should give...

Haha!! yup, it was very very hügligt! :lol: :lol: My son helped taking the photographs of daddys new wheels. He found the front hub very useful as a rolling pin before I built the wheel. :) Oh, and a set of Pedros Pro spoke wrenches were also very popular. Good boy! :wink:

The DMR Dee Vee's are pretty wide at 32 mm! Can't think of a Mavic rim that looks like that... But maybe for an older bike or klunker style bike. 8)

No... You're not! :wink: SRAM 9.0 SL
