Good point. 15 degrees Syncros stems for 1“ steerer tubes are so rare that I thought I take it with that hanger and get rid of it later

Lost patience and had it sliced off

I made those sets so a noodle can be welded back on - or a stem without a noodle can get one.

Its always a shame to see that one being cut off - BUT its not that big of a deal to get it back on to original.

Can you drop me a note separately with the noodle thing you have to suit a stem without one please?

Heres a quick one ...

This rebuild is nearing completion. A few issues remain that need to be resolved before the bike can be taken off road....

I really love your build choices

I have magura rim brakes on my 96 RM Vertex I think they are one of the best feeling rim brakes ever.

Can I suggest considering trying these type of adapters as an option to remove those pesky tie wraps holding the rear brake hosing in place?

Thanks for your suggestion Canuckbiker! Amazing, I didn't know about these adapters.

Fork looks super cheap ish on that beautiful bike - in my opinion.
