I like 96-98 hardtail bikes as those were the days when I used to read every page of MBUK and the manufacturer’s catalogues before i entered the dirt jump/trials bike era.
So obviously a lot of the bikes I own are from this period but I’m ending up in a situation where they are very similar builds.
I seem to end up every bike with M950/2 , Mavic X517 , CK headset , Smoke/dart and a Flite.
What other options are period for group sets without going down in spec?
Chainsets are easy but mechs, brakes and shifters is always Shimano as let’s be honest nothing compared back then.
Cnc Paul’s and proshift are nice but don’t interest me so much at current prices.
I have got one with Avid supremes/ ultimates and Crossmax but same issue with mechs and shifters.
