Nico do the new elastomers work well?
Have you gone for the one piece option as in Marc two tone's photo?

I haven't tested yet, but one thing is for sure: they are much firmer than the old originals !

the originals (red) were in one piece, I did the same :

LTS-3 is done

Originally it's a mix Alivio / STX, and the parts are either black (handlebar, crankset, shifters) or chrome (stem, seat post)
I tried to keep this spirit, by using the whole STX group (because anyway, Alivio... )
and some small touches of yellow (Mavic CrossRide, brake pads, handlebar) that match with the elastomer of the rear suspension

STX canti with Kool Stop Eagle

Manitou Mach 5, Mavic CrossRide

original grips, cap Aheadset Hope

@Magpiegifts Easton carbon handlebar

@ibbz XLite PSS Kevlar saddle Shimano PD-MX30 DX pedals

STX crankset & derailleurs, Kenda tires

even cows love it

sunny ride love this bike

 

[Duxuk]

Lovely! I don’t blame you for ditching the Quadra 5s. They were truly dreadful. My Proflex Attack LE had them and they let the whole bike down.

This is beautiful...well done with the colour touches!
