Re: 1982 Salsa Scoboni #5 "Restoration"

The bike is finally complete! Just waiting on the correct pedals and I'll share some photos.

Interesting detail that was found during the restoration build is that some reason the whole quill bolt assembly was fabricated from scratch. The wedge is TiG welded to a long tube on the bottom, and a nut is welded to the other end of the tube. The whole assembly doesn't save any weight over stock parts.

The bolt is English 5/16 x 24 tpi.

Not sure what or why but it is definitely interesting.

As promised here is a photo of the finished build on it's tune up ride.

It's going to take some getting used to riding these mighty thumb shifters.

More detailed photos to come this week when I get it in the studio.

Great to see it is finished and riding again.
Not a big fan of the grips and saddle though.
What tires are those?
Why do you have to get used to the shifters, because they are not indexed?
I got a pair of them for my klunker build, so am curious how they will work.

The bike originally came with the Oakley 3 grips and a Cinelli Unicantor saddle... that's why we went that direction. Keeping it exactly like it was.

Yes the shifters are not indexed and the rear is actually an opposite direction than my other thumb shifters so it's like rapid rise for vintage MTB's.

The tires are stumpjumpers that I borrowed for the shoot... It will have stumpjumpers on it permanently thanks to a fine member of this retrobike community

Experimenting with photos in the machine shop. Here is the Salsa all dialed in sans pedals.
