Interesting topic, thanks for posting. Like all good developments when the V-brake came out it seemed so obvious I wondered why no-one had thought of doing it before. An important part of Shimano's V-brake was at the lever end - the cable pull was different to existing MTB cantilevers and the...

On eBay now.... hopefully retro enough for someone here to make good use of: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/401192448801? ... 1555.l2649 Cheers

Shame to get rid of this, it rides lovely but sadly just a tad too small for me: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... 1022042787

Re: Sounds like a worthwhile project. Will look forward to some photos. I've got a 95 Lava Dome and it rides so well, if you get it up and running you won't regret it. Built mine from a frame rather than being the original owner though! Used a mainly LX group, (link to my build pics in my...

The first review is spot on. I got on fine with them last summer, found them fast and stable, then on the first wet ride they wiped out on a corner and I broke a bone in my hand.

:shock:

This is a common misconception, the adjuster was to alter the power modulation of V brakes only, they were never designed to be used with cantilevers.

SDJ Sports do them on eBay here in the UK but they only list UK delivery. Might be worth getting in touch to see if they'll ship overseas?

Sorry this isn't quite what you asked for as it is a low riser bar not flat but I think it is suitably retro in style. I wanted a slightly wider bar too and this was my solution, Lapierre XC bar, 620mm width and under £10 from CRC: http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/lapi ... -prod85889 Brand...

I think the key here is what the intended purpose of those parts was. Yes, they were mountain bike parts but a lot of stuff made around 20 years ago was for lightweight XC style bikes. Mountain biking is much different these days. BITD when I was running a 140g flat handlebar I never saw the...

I had the same problem replacing a 94BCD STX outer chainring recently. I really wanted a matching Shimano one but all second hand ones that come up tend to be worn out. NOS can be found, but as mentioned by Syncrosfan above tend to be too expensive, in my opinion. OK if you're building a...

I'm afraid so... call it a regional variation - it's essential where I ride as there are a lot of urban shared-use paths with random dog walkers and other assorted pedestrians. Lots of horses on the limited local off-road trails too and a bell works wonders. But I concede I should have taken it...

I like the colour too, contemplated a repaint but no need with this. According to Google I think the levers are 1999-2003, someone on here will know I expect, if that's not true

My Lava Dome build: Build thread, more pics and spec sheet here: viewtopic.php?f=6&t=309107 This frame has been seen in this thread before - albeit a few years ago and under different ownership!

Thanks, me too!

The mission: build an everyday workhorse bike I can ride with the family, down bridleways or to work and back, whatever the mood dictates. Finally happy with the build and out today between rain showers for some pictures, attached below. The bike is based on a '94 Kona Lava Dome frame...
