Ewwwwwww grip shift. Why wreck such a nice frame with cheap compenents :twisted:

dont be so harsh, what was good enough for Thomas Frischknechts Ritchey BITD, should also be good enough for us, dont you think so

well he was wrong as well Only joking.

Nice looking frame. Crazy seatstays though. I wonder if the idea is that they flex and give a more comfortable ride at the back, or help the rear dig in on climbs?

I have changed the Mech an' gribshifter to XO after the critic i received in this tread
- i really can't feel any difference in shifting but the X9 that i had on before was short cage and didn't work very well one whit the 11-32 cassette i mounted the other day

Nice choice... I fitted a syncros ti post to mine too. It gave it a more forgiving ride when seated.

have you seen the call for a danish retro ride in the nordic section of this site? (or on mtb.dk)?
