Ain` t it totally silly to make a whole new post just about mounting some bloddy PD-M737 SPD pedals? Well, here it is!

This is gorgeous - and also love to see such an organized and neat place to work !

Here is the latest!

I realized that the bottom bracket I installed had a steel axle. Luckily I had a bag of several SYNCROS titanium bottom brackets and simply replaced the axle to an original 113mm titanium. Now, its all good and I can sleep well again.

Also, the new anodized 2nd Ringle H2O arrived and I finally got my very neat 31.8 XTR FD-M900. I also already took out the Ritchey Vantage Expert wheel set out of the shed. I am going to spoke the SYNCROS front hub in it soon!. This build is "almost" done I guess

Fabulous work. Looking forward to see next steps. I bought one from 94, and i m still thinking about the parts for the frame…

Beautiful build. I had no idea this frame finish was an option, wonderful.

Was this frame bead blasted and then polished on the tubes?
Looks amazing, also no man should have parts bins this nice...

Big update on the 1992 Marin Team Titanium: Tonight I finally completed the steerer tube surgery on the SYNCROS Powerlite forks.

When I bought it, the steerer tube was too short. Now I had 2 options: Get the old one out and press a new one in or extend the existing one.

I decided to leave the tube where it is since the steel has aged beautifully in the aluminium crown and is sturdy as hell. I had an extension machined in super high quality steel and welded it in:

I also re-cut and "cleaned" the thread a little bit:
