Only one word from me....is
NICE!

looks very nice indeed great set of wheels and tires- if it is a dart up front, is it not on the wrong way?

Had some tweak time last night and have just popped out for a quick ride on it and I must say I am impressed, It rides beautifully and after 5 mins got used to the biopace momentum :roll:

I have also added my £5 ebay bargain rear mech which is pretty much perod correct (even though a roadie) shifts perfectly and is like NOS,

The first pic is for you Gazz

nice mech!

I used to run an old 105 for racing as cheap as chips and shifted really quick as short cage. Liked the half covered jockey wheel too

I had an 88 Rockhopper in yellow with Exage Mountain and under chainststay U brakes. So not one of these!

Picture up date and a few subtle changes, have had new decals fitted and have had them colour changed from the pink and yellow to green and yellow to go with the blue. I have also added a skinnier stem from a stumpy which is lovley , XT canti's as I wasnt keen on the blue of the Dia comps and DX crank arms.

Nice. Mind if I ask where you found the decals?
