Mantis Valkyrie

[mkozaczek]

Wish I had a long an elaborate build thread for this bike, but I don't. I was lucky enough to get this bike in a trade for a Ritchey Annapurna just a couple weeks ago and the build went very quick.

Specs:
87ish Mantis Valkyrie with Mantis fork and fillet brazed stem
WTB classic hubs on Specialized GX26 rims with kevlar bead Fattrax 2.2 tires
Campagnolo quick releases
WTB roller cams
Cook Bros crank, Ti bottom bracket and Ti handle bars
Shimano M730 shifters, brake levers and front derailleur
Shimano 600ex freewheel and short cage rear derailleur
American Classic post and perforate leather Turbo saddle

Thanks guy, I really appreciate it.

Can't wait to get the bike on the trails. Gotta redo the rear brake cable routing first though...
