Ever since I started mountain biking I´ve wanted a Bontrager Race/Race Lite and last summer I got my chance!
Going thru a site I hadn´t been to for a while, suddenly THE frame was for sale.

Hej Jan,

Great build mate!!!

Which site was that is it based in Sweden, if so that would be very very handy to have as I am living in Skane and would love to find a Bontrager of my own one day.

Tack Tack Jamie

OK, there´s not been any updates for a while.

That´s about to change :twisted:

So everybody who cringed about the M739 cranks, watch this space

This came in today.
The picture didn´t turn out that great but condition is very good.
Nice start to the year

And finally this as well.
Thanx a lot Harry

So I decided going the 9-speed route. Now all I need is shifters/sti´s.

I also got a spare 4-arm chainring/spider from donpedro, who actually lived next door :shock: I thought that might come in handy.
Thanks mate!

Another nice thing came from ishaw, a 5-arm spider.
So it seems this setup will last me a good while
Top man, thanks!

So it looks like I´ll have to start fixing the bike even though it´s freezing outside (and I do mean sub zero).
Might even put on the race lite wheels.

But for now, have a nice evening.

Now I´ve got very nice pedals for the RL.
Thanx jbstevens
