On the hunt for a single replacement stantion and an 1-1/8 thread less steerer/crown. Thanks in advance!

Hello again folks, real life alphas put paid to getting this done in a timely fashion but I finally managed to square the bike off with some NOS Vittoria tyres. Took the bike out to the local hills (Aberfoyle) and it’s a hoot. Excuse the photo quality as it is pretty horrid weather wise up here...

Small update, been in the mooch for parts and managed to get hold of a lovely old Phil Wood on a D522 Ceramic & a new pair of Nitto bars (not sure if that counts as a concession to modernity?). Cabled the bike up for a quick chainless bimble. I have some tan walls on their way along with an old...

I always lusted after these, starting with the older Kili XTR but never managed to get hold of one back in the nineties. On a whim I asked my friend, who works in/for an undisclosed bicycle recycling charity, if there was anything earmarked for the bin that was interesting. Think you can...

I’ll take them for £40 if they’re still available 🙃

Sorry to bump an old thread but this was my first proper mtb! Any more pics of the build, I seem to remeber it coming with all DeoreDX components and ritchey/zoom bits et le bobs!
