ok so i have been itching to get more done on this frame. i have managed to build it, some of the parts fitted are not staying, basically i'd like it to be pretty much all LX/XT mix, currently it has STX-RC brakes which will do while i find some XT or LX, also i got kippered on the STI units, bought them on ebay, when i got them i noticed a crack on the underside of the gear adjuster casting, thought it would be ok, didn't moan, should have, basically the adjuster falls/pulls out of the thread so it wouldn't index correctly, obvs wasn't pictured in the listing and it's now been way to long to complain.
obvs saddle and pedals are modern, in there just for a test ride.
need to sort out some stickers, i am going to copy the font and colour from my 96 D2, it's almost identical to the stickers on the pictured frame earlier in this thread, anyway, here's a few pics
this zip tie sort of stops the adjuster from pulling out but basically it's dead, thanks ebay
