Yeah lol should have been clearer - I mean the levers with integrated shifters, which there are other brands of...the Shimano ones preferred ...but I'm not sure what they are really called generically...

Any STI type shifters at a better price than ebay...! Budget such that whatever shifters I might find at reasonable cost will determine the speed/drivetrain of this particular project...it's nothing too hardcore; for a nippy mtb frame converted for road pace, just being experimental and...

Rear bridge position seems to be ok. No-one has done much exciting with this frame, which is why I'm having a go really. Expecting problems and having to mod things as usual, but that's my speciality...;) Still confused by gearing, I guess if everything matches or is of the correct design to...

Thanks for the response - it is in fact a later version of this frame, my 1998...useful as it has variations such as a wider steerer tube and mountings such that with a small modification it will actually take side pull calipers...I have Tektro 540s with Kool stop pads. Wheels Bianchi...

BUMP! Had a new arrival of red 1998 14" called 'Aries'...have altered topic heading to include 1993-1998, as although Aries is subtly different to my 1993 he is awesome and actually the variations are quite useful....

Hi all I am building a road bike; its a retro kona mountain bike frame so I suppose technically a hybrid. I was originally just going to make a simple single speed, then decided on having gears - for general road use and maybe more. However, I can't decide how many speeds (8? 9? 10? 11...

I've got a set of Tektro R540s and kool stop pad inserts, but I have no brake pad holders!!! Anyone got any that you've kept from a pad change etc? Need 2 sets (for front and rear) Help appreciated (there will be pictures soon of what I am building....) Eddie

however all the picture links are broken, so I can't see the result...

...yeah if he ever falls out with it, let me know!

This is going to keep happen until I have another of these frames in my workshop in which awesome things will occur. Rescue home for kona 14" '93 hahanna/fire mountains still has just one occupant. His constant lonely whining is getting annoying bless him.

Looking for these weeny frames like in my avatar (not necessarily same colour). If anyone has one in a garage or that is underappreciated, drop me a line....!

I did indeed buy the bars complete with those extensions ('rakes') in the end. Yes I can see some foo' on eBay is trying to sell for silly money, but I didn't take that as a realistic valuation.... Didn't pay anywhere close to £50 either! ;) ...any expenditure I have to consider very carefully...

Again reminder. Anyone with the smallest frame size (about 14") of the Hahanna/Fire Mountain (same frame) of the early 90's era....

Someone is trying to sell me a set of Scott drop in bars with weird double-drop extensions (see my shoddy paint sketch as I can't find a pic on the web).... I don't normally pay much (if anything!) for old alloy bars I use, but I wondered a) does anyone have any of these knocking around in...

forgot to add, shimano compatible; plan is to change to 7 speed cassette onto it but if wheels come with something different as long as its not horrendously expensive to buy extra bits am willing to make things work

Really getting sick of sitting on eBay watching everything I'm interested in creep up out of my price range. Or finding what I want in my range then eBay f'ing up. Fed up. Anyone got a set, or just a front or rear alone, of 700c race type wheels surplus to requirement that they can offer at...

ooooooooooo touché actually not that angled, if referring to mine; the light is reflecting off the front...tis angled a bit but not as much as you think seat actually buggered, need new

Still would never put my bar height above my saddle height...

I looked those ones up; seller says hub problems - common to that model. It was these I was after http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... 500wt_1413 They had 30 quid tyres on and everything...

I just want les naffing wheels. *rage* So full of rage I could go for a long ride. BUT THERE ARE NO WHEELS *sob* and *RAGE*
