God that's dark, never seen it before, not really a family show by the looks of it

Don't know what you mean? My kids love it!

At the bottom, yes,
that became 200GS and the Exage 300LX
Now Altus and Acera.

A step up from Tourney.

Latest code is May 89, there quite late in the 89 model year (for Shimano).

Great bit of sales blurb. I think I'll start with this Exage Country group, but I do have a complete '87-'88 XT group & an '88-'89 Deore/Deore II group that I was keeping for my Cape builds... all depends how it rides.

It's a local show, for local people.....

There’s nothing for you here..............

Anyone found a reasonable replacement for these threaded canti shoes?

 

[KermitGKona88]

How about these...?

loads to choose from with clarks, or try the v brake ones.

I’m not sure if it’s the cold weather or maybe I’ve been spoilt, but the more I clean the crud off of the Country kit the more I realise how basic it is, so I went up into the workshop loft to check what’s lurking back there & I had a go through the “good” boxes as well, so here’s the list;

I’ve got a pair of 1989 XT M730/732 hubs on Araya 20 rims

1988 XT FD-M730 Alpine front mech

1990 XT RD-M735 rear mech

1987 XT FC-M730 Biopace silver crankset, ‘

1990 XT BR-M732 Canti silver brakes

1989 XT STM091 2 finger rapid fire 7spd shifters

1989 XT DF-M730 Shark fin

1990 CS-HG90 cassette

1988 Deore PD-MT60 pedals

XT BB-UN72 bottom bracket

1989 XT M732 hubs on Araya RM20 rims

A pair of Farmer John’s Cousins and some re-issue ODI attack grips should finish it off nicely.

Nothing’s NOS or even VGC but it’s all a damn sight better than the Exage!
