Dirt Disciple
After much searching I've finally managed to find a decent steel retro mtb with a frame small enough for my mrs.
That being a 96 (going by frame no.) 14.5" orange p7. The bikes been built up with components off a earlier Claud butler, comprising pretty much entirely of m550 LX. The front mech setup is a lash up, it's got a bottom pull mech that then runs the cable round a roller to send it up to the top tube routed cables. But it does actually work. I'm trying to find the 'right' front mech, but I'm not sure what it should be, as there's a boss on the frame about level with the outer chainring bolts. Is the mech supposed to mount to this or can I just use a normal clamp on one, and the boss won't get in the way of the clamp?
Pics when I find someone to host them that isn't photobucket...
