This marks the end of the resurrection of my San Andreas. Thanks for reading and I hope that you enjoyed following this thread as much as I enjoyed working on this piece of art for nearly 5 years. BTW, happy 30th birthday, Sanny!

In the end, the components differing from the Team Elite build are: - the stem: Answer ATAC vs Syncros Cattleprod; - the handlebar: Answer Hyperlite vs Syncros Flatbar; - the handlebar grips: WTB Trail Grips vs onZa Porcipaws; - the saddle: Odyssey SveLte-Ti Kevlar vs Odyssey SveLte...

As on all my bikes for three decades, a pair of NOS onZa High Output BPD-1401 with stainless steel spindles, allow to propel my San Andreas with style.

Well, this was without taking into account a last minute hitch, as I had to find some handlebar grips to replace the dying onZa Porcipaws. The WTB Trail Grips were well acclaimed in the early 90's, and as for the Attack grips, ODI is still manufacturing reissues of the original Trail Grips for...

In the end, the Odyssey SveLte Hi-Performance saddle was my Eleonore. Pure unobtainium in this part of the world. I'm not even talking about the titanium rails version... I was resigned to fit something more common, looking for classics such as Selle Italia Flite or Specialized Prolong, like in...

Since I failed to identify the seatpost clamp on the Team and Team Elite bikes, I looked for months for a Ringlé Ti-bolt collar 1 3/8" in red anodized color that would have nicely matched the Camtwist QR rear skewer, to no avail. Or in cracked condition. Or in wrong color. Dubbed S-Series by...

As the Team and Team Elite bikes were fitted with a Syncros Cattleprod 135mm stem, I was fearing that my Answer Atac in 150mm could be too long. Fortunately, another Atac stem in 135mm length (furthermore with 17.5° rise) was found. A couple repro decals by @gil_m later, it was ready for the...

After some time, I secured a pair of 32-hole Mavic M 231 rims. As the San Andreas is sporting disc brakes, it didn't make sense to me to put rims with marks of brake pads on the sidewalls. Following this video tutorial, I resurfaced and refinished them by hand. A tedious and lengthy process...

No luck either with the NOS onZa Porcipaws handlebar grips which started to disintegrate on their own 🙁.

After months of vain searches for a pair of 32-hole Mavic M 231 rims (as on the Team and Team Elite bikes) in decent condition, I started to look at some other period-correct rims. This is how I got this pair of NOS Ritchey Vantage Comp rims. To complete the wheel rebuild, some DT Swiss...

I've found very little information about the Panaracer Shield rims on my Sanny. Except an Anti Snake Bite News booklet (written in German) on the Polish website RetroMTB [1]. To summarize, these rims were available in two flavors: the Shield DH for downhill use and the Shield XC for XC...

While working on the rear drivetrain, I also took the opportunity to replace the Type Q 12-28 cogs XTR cassette by a more versatile Type P 12-32 cogs one, as on the Team Elite bike.
