Re: Nigel the 1991 Scott , rebuild starts page 4

Little update on the build, I decided that the new Xt rear mech I bought for nigel , should really be reserved for another build I have planned, so time to renovate a slightly more used one.



quite a few bits n pieces in this one.

I've made a start on polishing the 'knuckle' part first.

Little more progress update.



Decided to replace the normal steel mech bolt with a rather shiny alloy one

I do enjoy refurb'ing an old part - NOS just isn't my thing.

Hey Ian ,
I'm not surprised you didn't wanna sell that mech , can't wait to see finished bike now . BTW what wheel skewers are those ? My standard Shimano ones foul on the - albeit temporary - M737 rear mech . Mike

The skewers look very much like Ritchey Lightning Rods to me

Re: Nigel the 1991 Scott , rebuild starts page 4

Hi mike , I'm pleased kermitgreenkona88 stepped in because I was unsure about the model of skewers , I did found out that they were 'ritchey' branded ones, I know one thing, I'm unsure If I trust them as they weigh nowt :shock: :?

Rebuild is coming on nicely , managed to do a little shopping for those last few remaining items


Lovely scott bar, I think it'll look nice unsure on the year though, certainly not a modern bar so I'll settle for that



This was hard to find, I managed in the end to gather this through ebay de





Not as clean as I'd hoped (or described ) but will try and restore it If at all possible, If anyone has any tips on how to restore a seat then I'd appreciate your feedback

Another little purchase from germany was these old school scott grips



Phew!! nearly there.

Shifting duties sorted , old school



Two final parts to source, headset and front mech.

Headset I'm still unsure of what to do, I could keep the one in as I believe it may have been original to the bike, but it does not seem to fit snug evenly, though its running smooth, think there may be a part missing or parts assembled in the wrong order ?

And a front Xt mech to find :facepalm:
