1996 Stumpy m2 (challenging my own prejudices)

Even better, you can set up a poll on a thread (although never done it myself) so you can get an expert panel decision.

Don't listen to anything I say, I like Raleigh's!

Had a rummage for cranks around the right age / reasonably in keeping. Would be the worst poll ever, as pretty much left with a choice between a specialized strongarm and a shimano m510. So if you're minded to call it for me I think that bike would originally have had a strongarm crank, possibly a 5 arm (could well be wrong). Also have the black strongarm2 crank currently on my white Stumpy, that I could rob if worth the trouble, as this bike gets cranks swaps whenever the wind changes direction anyway.

Depends on the forks!

If you're using the RD-M750 then I'd probably look towards the M510?

Nicely dodged re. forks I reckon we can park it and decide later.
Probably will use the rd-m750, as it's the only one I found in the shed.

I've got some 1999 Judy XCs and a silver specialized bar you can have for postage if you are interested? I've probably got a box somewhere.

these ones:

they are cosmetically shabby now, but still work OK. They are the coil versions

So, build stalled a little over Xmas and New Year as 'workshop' had to be repurposed as a bedroom

But it now has a fork very kindly gifted by slackboy (Thanks again). So, just a few little finishing bits to do, and then ride it.

Yes, that looks pretty good! Glad to see them getting used.

Well, eventually finished it off. Didn't entirely take to the suss fork, but its been gifted to a good home. Spent my xmas money on a P2 fork, and scratched an itch to stick a mechanical disc on the front.
