I bought a '91 C-Dale SM800, and it had an XT JIS bottom race on a standard fork. I'm in the states, if you're here as well, I can dig it up and send you the bottom race for the price of shipping. Check out what it looks like here.

I don't mind at all! Thanks for the reply, and I suppose this will serve as a notice to anyone else who has one, I'd be interested!

Would you happen to still have this Vetta saddle, with the shoulder holder? I'm looking for one of these early ones, at least just the shoulder holder, for my Trek 990. I know, it's not Rocky Mountain, but I use my bike on city adventures, and I would actually use the shoulder holder if I fitted...

Stretch it to 25, and you could get an Alpinestars with a cracked head tube! (see reply #2 of this thread 😂 )

A little more bonus stuff about the Trek 990: I recently found a photo of Trent Reznor back stage at Lollapalooza 1991 sitting on a 1990 Trek 990 in black. I also was watching a video produced in Spain in 1992 called Al Filo De Lo Imposible - Rodando Por Ti, which stars Juan Ochoa and Juanma...

It needs a whole EXTRA top tube, just to put the longest name on 😂

It's been a while since I posted an update about this bike. I was flooded out of my loft back in July, and had to put most of my bikes in storage. This was the bike that I decided to take with me as I moved from an Airbnb, to a month sublet, to my new place. I took it on a lot of rides with...

It was named that so Kona could have the title of longest bike name, and shortest name, with the AA. 😂

It's been a while since I posted anything, because my loft flooded twice back in July! Here's a photo of my bikes during the first flood. The water got a little bit higher than this photo. Only the tires got wet, and I made sure to rotate the wheels so the rim decals weren't ruined. I'm...

I finally found a set of Tioga Surefoot V pedals, and installed them recently. These are the lightest pedals Tioga had in their catalog. These are comparable to Shimano PD-M735, but I would wager they are superior. The main bearing, which takes most of the load, is a needle roller bearing, while...

I found another set, this time a bit shorter, with some sort of "P" logo, advertised as "performance catalog brand". This gets more and more confusing:

My friend took this photo on July 4th, Independence Day, in St. Louis Missouri. This is the view from Eads Bridge, over the river Mississippi, showcasing the Gateway Arch. After sunset, a fireworks barge gave us a wonderful display, and I got peppered in cardboard from the fireworks shells 😂...

I finally found a suitable quick release for my Hite Rite! I used a combination of an 88 Trek seat QR lever, nut and pin, and a Tioga QR-6 body and washers. The Tioga QR had some nice snug fit washers that fit inside the seat collar holes. There's still a little bit of thread peeking out, so I...

Hi k-rod I know it's been a few years, but do you still have this rim? If you do, could I see some photos?

Someone probably asked for a drive side photo, and they thought this would work 😂

Friday night ride got rained out, so I got up early today and went for a nice long ride. These cranks really help with the bottom bracket flex that this bike has, but it doesn't get rid of it entirely unfortunately. I also recently installed these Vuelta black anodized pulleys. I also...

More photos for the folks who don't have Facebook

Absolute bonkers rare Kona posted to Facebook today: "HAND ON THE FIRST KONA TITANIUM_ 1997 TEAM WAS USED BY PETER WEDGE."

I fitted these tonight, in time for my weekly group ride on Friday night. The NOS cups and new bearings arrived, and were installed within the hour! 😂 Needless to say, I was eager to get these on the bike, and I love how they look. They are so easy to adjust, and I can take the cranks off in...

Congratulations Al! I'm glad the one I voted for, and almost bought off eBay all those years back, was the one to win! Honestly, I couldn't have done a better job restoring it, while keeping it's patina. Simply gorgeous.
