Re:

So it came back from the powdercoaters and I was a little dissapointed.

its not metallic for a start, threads were not taped off, took a while to get the cardboard out of the headtube, had to drill out the BB cable noodles and had to sand the stem so it would fit in the forks :evil:

But... I like the colour, its more mustard unlike narcotitlan's yellow Bromwich so its staying and the decals added.

Cue The mountain LX, all salvaged from a donor bike with a cracked headtube so I dont feel so bad for stripping a period piece down, tyres arent period but they are nice. after a short ride out it became clear the 105 headset needed replacing, cracked in two places unfortunately otherwise its a good un.

Hanging around is for monkeys fella , I had been squirreling parts away for ages so bringing it together near the end was the easy part, overall I'm pleased with how it looks considering the powder prolems.

What a sweet bike! The colour is really nice too

Very cool! That mustard yellow looks perfect - totally suits it, LX parts too with those funky brakes look right

missed the update as i was expecting it to take longer :roll:

Have you got any pics of the frame stripped? were all the tubes ok?

That colour seems to clash with every background you put it in front of

Nice!

Re:

Cheers Guys,

Been wanting to pop a mountain LX group on something for ages and this seemed right for it, and it is one of my favorite groupsets too - one year only kit! and it shifts as good as XT too.

another pic, hopefully without a background clash.
