Dirt Disciple
Picked this up last summer for $100. It wasn't quite original so I said what the hell, lets restomod it a bit and put some miles on it. I think its an 89 + or -
I wanted to beef it up a little bit for the rough Michigan roads, see how much tire would fit and lighten it up. So here's where we are now, rolling around 19 lbs.
7800 brakes, as much rubber as possible:
9 speed Shimano drivetrain stuff, Ultegra and Dura Ace Mix, newer 7800 DA brakes.
Some modernish Shimano C24 wheels with Panaracer Gravel King 28s and an updated front end. Still looking for a more classic looking bar that I'm comfortable on, but this Zipp SL-70 XPLOR is so darn comfy.
And bang, my retro mongrel gravel bike.
