its just a mirage...........
- Thread starter longun
- Start date
just fitted an exage action rear mech and exage trail front, think they compliment eachother fairly well and keep it retro without breaking the bank.....
and used up the cable outta from my trek 9000 build 2 years ago!
gonna clean the wheels and fit a chain later this week and maybe after the swelling :evil: has gone next week, test ride, as long as its still sunny lol
undecided which wheels tho, the ones that came with it or the wheels of the rockhopper? we'll see what spinns and looks best.

those exage rear mechs arent up to much in my opinion

double post doh
old school version of a dropper seat post. get to a steep hill, undo the qr, sit down to lower the seat position and tighten back qr, when all good undo qr and saddle lift back to original position
and you ride into the sunset lol
i think these look the nuts and work as good, if not better and lighter than the modern equivalent.
