After over three years hanging on the garage wall, finally pulling this together. It’s a ‘97...
I had an engineering shop bore out a stuck seatpost, light t-cut of the frame and ready to build up. Would benefit from fresh paint if I decide it’s a keeper.
This will be a 3x9 drop bar build, on 26” wheels, got a Specialized RM-2 bar ready, just need to pick a 26.0 stem with the correct rise.
It’s a smaller frame than I’d usually pick for a drop bar/road build, but similar to what I’d ride as an MTB, so very much trial and error on fit.
Only just got the headset and bottom bracket in, so did some initial measurements yesterday.
Bar and stem just for a look....
I’m sure I need to drop the saddle, this is set at a road height, usually run mtb a few cm lower. I’ve not used a sprung Brooks before so that’s a bit of an experiment too.
Bar will need to be higher, so perhaps a Nitto MT-10? Any experience of those?
