It's the MOMBAT sell off. Jeff Archer's widow is the seller.

I saw one for sale about 4 years ago locally (Atlanta GA USA). It was on Craigslist as a complete bike. The pic was very blurry and the seller was about 2 hours away. He never responded to my questions and the ad was gone a day or two later. So, I think this counts as 'yes they exist'. But...

Re: PM me. I’ll send you his contact info.

Re: NIB/NOS 1996 Shimano XTR M 900 parts Ok. It's wrong but it's semantics too. M900 is m900. Great stuff. But 1996 was m950...also great stuff.

Re: NIB/NOS 1996 Shimano XTR M 900 parts I'm curious why you're calling this a 1996 group? m900 came out in 1992 and existed until 1994. 1995 saw some short-lived m910 bits and retained some m900 bits. 1996 was the first year of the iconic m950 group in 'xtr gray'.

Line things up in a hydraulic press. Heat the crown. Cool the steerer. Press. Beyond that, it beats me. But it certainly isn't a job for the uninitiated. I asked my friend. His shop is swamped with work but if you can wait until March, he might be able to build one at that point.

Re: they're not in my hands just yet. I gotta email the guy and see what's up. Saw some pics of the early work. They looked identical to the original crowns.

Re: Found a Cnc machinist who generated two for me. He might be interested in making a third.

Re: I have a friend who has access to a hydraulic press. But I’ve found the crown. No longer looking.

A little late to the party, but since it's got the ti stays, it's a 1999 frame. I've got a 1998 with the steel stays and a slightly lower serial# (DEK 1559). My 1998 takes a 27.2 seatpost.

I bought a pair on ebay about a year ago. Suspect there are some on there now... have you checked?

Re: Re: You should ignore anyone who says that. From the 'bible' on wheel building from Jobst Brandt, page 67: "Even though they transmit no torque, front wheels should not be spoked radially because high radial stress can cause fatigue failure of their flanges. The spoke holes of aluminum...

And this is why King won't warranty a hub that has been radial laced. (no judgement here)

Sure. I'll PM you in a minute.

Re: I've got a 135 mm Control Tech ahead stem, 1 1/8. I'm in the USA though, but it's not that expensive to ship a small item. It's in good shape.

Re: I emailed the seller. No response :cry:

Re: Nik's a great seller. Excellent packing, provided tracking, great comms the whole way. Will deal with again, I'm sure.

Re: sorry gentlemen but this ad is from January and these parts are long gone.

Re: I wouldn't normally comment on a seller's feedback, but it's worth reading it prior to considering a deal.
