Hi there, thanks for the idea. I'm after a cup and cone as I like to play with adjustment, thanks though.

I've owned this bike for a while which I used for commuting. It had Suntour XC LTD on it but the groupset was in pretty bad condition so I decided to give it an overhaul. A friend had a 7-speed XT groupset which I acquired and here is the result. I'm pretty sure it's a 1991 Hammer, although I'm...

The frame looks amazing, well done
