Frame is suspension corrected so the X-Fly reduced to 60mm should be PURRFECT.

PROGRESS!! - dragged it out of the garage in fading light to snap some quick pics, I will update once it's dialed in but these should give you the idea. I didn't really plan a "theme" but pretty much turned out a subtle black and silver parts mix - 25 pounds as pictured. Ended up reusing...

Mild steel is forgiving...big pry bar to open enough to get past the brace, then close it back up in a vise. Arr ;-)

The Mag 20 came with the bike at the time I was like SCORE - closeout 92 model purchased in 93. Fork still works pretty well!

Did someone say cruisers? Nice Iggy - I had one for a while, shined it up to this stage: I was going for the "postcard" look I think most folks on here know I have a soft spot for the clunkers... Pic from a recent cruise on my 1936 La Salle bomber - original paint. Me...

Here's my 92 - original owner and it's made a great kiddy hauler and shopping bike.

You can fit a 1 1/8" threadless headset into a pre war frame - it takes some very careful milling but it has been done. The 1" BMX headset I used went into the stock headtube with zero mods so I could revert to pre war headset, that was what I liked. A nice 1" steerer Marz fork reduced to 60mm...

Then you likely saw the 38 I built with a Nexus in back...and something else in front. THAT was a fun bike; sold it a couple years back to a fella who lives near Lake Tahoe and rides it down a place called Downieville - claims it's faster than his modern Santa Cruz Blur and I don't doubt...

slightly OT...have any piks of the Golf? ;-)

almost as shiny as the "boat" visiting from Russia (...with love?) http://online.wsj.com/article/SB1000142 ... elnichenko

The Orange 1938 now belongs to a mate of mine, we went for a little klunk last Sunday. The 38 is a C model with Morrow coaster and T1200 fork painted to match the frame - canti studs brazed by Otis Guy - with late 70s vintage Dia Compe touring cantis. That's a 54T TA track ring in front...

Lovely choices as always...comes down to what I would love to throw a leg over, so 84 fat for me ;-)

congrats Alan! still klunking after all these years

XC Pro indeed, those rear clusters are enough trouble hate to also need the special tools for a Mavic setup...it's still teaser stage as I have expressed interest in a broken bike with few miles on it in storage for decade ++ - hope I haven't jinxed myself counting chickens :oops:

Love it Dr P! Still in contact with Charlie? PS that really needs a Cyclone rear mech, but if it works why mess with it ;-)

might have located a donor for a 93 "alternate" build kit...not M900 though - care to hazard a guess to the group? :D

from MOMBAT's 82 Stumpy

Not mine, belongs to Chris Lang one of the original Marin Velo Club Tam members - I snapped the pic a few years back at the Fairfax Fat Tire Fest.

...i'm used to the moto versions with the iron cross adjusters...
