97 bonty

[ton]

how retro is a 97 bontrager privateer.

 

[gump]

I would say retro for sure.

To some, it is in the Trek era which loses a bit of kudos, but still damn nice frames!!

 

[Stick Legs]

Yep, even the 'Trek' Bontragers are retro, it's all about attitude!

anyone help with a list of worthy bit to build it up with.

[gradeAfailure]

63mm according to said catalogue...

 

[Agency_Scum]

68mm shell bb with 107mm axle. Best go for UN72 and avoid the boutique ones ( bitter experience speaking ).
