Sinnerman's, no, Ibbz's, no my Look Mi90 Quadrex

IMO : XT with Ritchey brake levers, canti's & traditional XT thumbies

Thanks. Was thinking of that combination too. Ritchey brakes have more stopping power and those early GRipshifts were sometimes a pain in the butt as far as I remember...

Agree to that!

Wheels for this build: Ritchey Vantage Expert rims on XT 730/732 hubs.

XT thumbies seem to be broken so will go for the Gripshift SRT 500 (untill I've found other thumbies).

Man you've got this looking sweet!
Really like the look! (Look!) Nice touch with the rear mech cable and the bar ends!

A Shame now XT shifters - but how do the SRT function?

 

[WimVDD]

Thanks mate. SRT's are temporarily until I find some XT thumbies for a reasonable price. But SRT work fine, no problems shifting accurate. Will change seatpost for a longer one but no funds right now.
