    Grip Shift ESP 900 - front mech question.

    I have a pair of ESP 900 (x-ray) shifters and ESP 7.0 mech. I was going to use them on a build, but confusingly the left shifter (front mech) has multiple indentations (clicks). I presumed that I had been sold 2 rights, but in looking/searching for a copy of a manual/instructions, which I...

    White Industries front derailleur Spooler

    Really interesting stuff and I admire the tenacity in trying to take the big boys on with something new. The FD as far as I can see is just a White Industries roller mechanism which replaces part of the Shimano mech. Interesting video on it. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=G_jaOBzgwHE

    So I take it you approve of them Nick :lol: I have them....they don't look great with the green....but..... [/url] I have also been thinking of Marzocchi. Keep the Italian theme...frame and forks. Red or Yellow.

    Re: Re: You are right they would look the biz. I do have a lot of AMP stuff and like it, so not necessarily for this...I hadn't really thought about it as I was thinking of a more conventional front end. The only problem is I think someone has messed with those forks, the top pivot has M5 or...

    Nick the ones I have on the self so to speak are black. I fear they maybe a little boring. These bad boys turned up yesterday....I wonder how they would look!!! Red might be the right colour. 1999, so last century at least. Too much?

    New build for the wife...do you think she'll appreciate it?

    Re: Still need to get the front mech properly soeted. Was going to use Gripshift 900 and ESP 7.0 on the rear until I discovered, for some reason (I bough them a few years ago) I have two 8spd shifters, even though the stickers would indicate one is left and the other right! :facepalm: So...

    Re: So more parts have started to arrive for the build. I still need to get the frame off to the powder coaters, they are based in Malden Essex, just need an excuse to be in the area! The back end needs rebuilding. Extralite still service these frames and forks. I am currently trying to get a...
