bologna lite forks, now refinished in new powder. These proved more difficult to find with a 200mm steerer than i hoped.

Re:

i built this wheelset a few years ago, the hubs are ti glide on the rear and a hope fatso on the front, laced to mavic rims. The skewers are titanium action teks from the 90s i believe

Re:

I bought these raceface turbines years ago to replace worn xtr cranks on an xizang i used to ride. They’ve served me well


The original xt un72 bottom bracket, still going strong!


I did consider changing to a triple chainset, but seeing as i grew up riding bmx and other singlespeeds i thought better to stick with the single ring




Version 1 v12s from the 90s. practically a wellgo platform pedal with an upgraded bearing system, but they suit the bike much better than the later ones i think

Re:

The schwalbe's look like the larger 1.95 so are they?

I'd be interested to know how they roll as I've bought these in the 1.95 but it'll be ages before I'm ready to get my ride altogether.

Yep, they’re 1.95”

Haven’t used them for more than a ride around the block, but they seem to roll real nice. I think you’d struggle to find better slicks for the money

That's why I got them because of the price
