you could ask your local bike mechanic or ask at one of the local ride meet-ups

Can't wait. Good weather for picture taking now.

I agree. Looks to be in nice shape & I especially like the bits

well done. Any difficulty finding the bits to complete it?

now thats putting your thinking cap on. Bravo. The spindles, no doubt, shave the most weight off.

coming right along :)

Saw the Y in your pic. I have a '96 nude Y 22

Some things you can't foresee like those notches. Looks like you made short-work of them though. Cool brake booster too. I had a bid in on a Shimano and lost so I ended up getting a Salsa instead.

very nice color match, orig equipment or not.

I was not aware of this TT change either. Very interesting.

subscribed :)

Very nice/focused pics. So the replacement one is older/more retro? I can't run disc on my 1996 Trek even if I wanted to. None of the aftermarket stuff will fit, not that I want to run disc.

You even located an XT seat post. Never seen one of those before. Very nice groupo indeed.

13.5" too :lol:

Alright!!! :) Nice detective-work.

bad stroke of luck about the brake boss but from the sound of things, you'll make it right. I really like how its looking. My 96 Y has a polished rear triangle too.

Hope all goes well.

I think some of the bikes were simply abandoned prior to being stripped. I've encountered, on occasion, what I would term- "light-recreational types" of riders, who would abandon a bike for a flat tyre. There are also those who have to leave town on short notice to pursue other endeavours...

Interesting slideshow I encountered on FB. This was posted by the venerable company- Brooks: http://www.skeletonsnyc.com/

Now THOSE are bike quality porn. :) Thanks ;)
