I like it a lot. And you can have a CX bike easily with a new drop bar and the bar ends shifters if you want... Very nice find.

Re: An early, elevated, Christmas present. ohoohhhh! beautiful bike!

Totally agree. I like the Xross a lot. I'd build it with drop bars.

Re: An early, elevated, Christmas present. Felix, please show us more pics of it. You've a stunning bike there.

Re: An early, elevated, Christmas present. I saw this (not mine) I like the polished frame a lot

You can find spacers here http://www.suspensionforkparts.net/esho ... ductId=116 They aren't the originals but they're very very similar. If you use the thudbusters you must short them until 2,2cm both them if i'm not in a mistake. I could measure an original bush that i have to be sure. I...

More info of 1990 models, specially the proflex model

I think all 1991 models except USA Limited were welded in Taiwan. At least my 550 shows a decal of Made in Taiwan. I'm pretty sure that Alu models were made in Taiwan too. The problem is that the RF-1 denomination appears in 1991, the 1990 model was named Proflex only The pic shows three...

First models had twin blue bushes. First prototype of proflex system used an only small yellow elastomer. It broke easily so in the production series of 1991 they started using the two blue elastomers. In 1993 proflex models started to use a bigger mcu yellow elastomer if I'm not in a mistake...

I have a RF-1 and a 550. The original travel of the rear arm was a 1" BITD. I fixed the rear suspension with the original proflex spacers and some cane creek thudbusters bushes. They are practically identical than the original ones. I got some NOS bushes but after 20 years in their bag probably...

certeanly... but what do you think about that fantastic shift lever?

Some new pics of a little ride besides the sea Crappy phone pics, sorry.

Yes, I don't think is a real front suspension nor the 1" rear travel of suspension, but I'm not MBA :-) We are not talking of prototypes, we are talking about production bikes. And in the 80's there were other (produced) full susser bikes... but is this a MTB? :-)

I keep it. It was impossible for me to find the original forks. My ti flexstem XST is too narrow and difficult to make MTB with it (less than 50 cm) so maybe I'll put a Manitou I, a wider bar and an ATAC stem this fall/winter. I have a pair of HED wheels that are not period correct but I like...

thanks for your nice words hi, probably i'll left the bar ends and put some sti's For a little ride they're fine, but for MTB or so i think that road sti's will be better. Braking is enough good but not fantastic. Probably another change will be the stem. I like the girvin but I need a more...

nice! I'd like to see a better pic of it. What is that wheel?

Re: My Ranjeet Grewel inspired Yeti ARC Uffff It hurts me! :facepalm: I hope you'll be better very soon. :-) I cut a tendon of my index finger and took a time to recovery it. I was cutting iberic ham with a extremely sharp knife, it slipped and it arrived to my knuckle of the finger. Almost...

Re: 1990 Ridgeback 704XT ** FINISHED 15/08/13 ** Nice job. I like it a lot. I prefer restored bits better than a bike plenty of NOS components. There is a lot of love in a resto like yours. I love to see the old bits shining like new but with the marks of being used, they were used and have...

beautiful!

Re: Summer Sale! Syncros, Atac, Fro Castagnino, Bullseye, Te da panico, i'll take the wheels if benbonty and bratfass don't do. I'm only interested in the hubs, maybe it'll be better for you to send them instead the whole wheels
