Yes, the SS-5 is a favourite of mine, I went with the all black version and think they suit the build, a bit of artistic license taken

Amazing work!
I haven´t reed all the pages, but when I saw the hole in the frame I didn´t expect it to finish like it did.

Fantastic job. That's a 101 how to execute a sympathetic restoration

Great work as usual Dave. That's my kind of build; keeping things simple with XT and let the frameset do the talking, but with some considered choices, such as the XC9000 pedals and the Scott/Matthauser brake pads. Top job

What an incredible restoration, I know its the same bike but I can hardly believe it was in such rough shape compared to what we see here.

Thanks for sharing it with us

Thanks so much for all the kind words and feedback.

I couldn’t be happier myself with the outcome of this build.

My ideas and build planning have evolved a fair bit the last few years being heavily influenced by the many great builds on this forum along with the different opinions of my local riding buddies.

I can’t wait to throw a leg over this beauty again Sunday, it’s supposed to be sunny
