Also swapped out the front mech pulley for one from a yeti in 3dv by 'bullseye'.
I think thats every thing.
I had big plans for this bike as my main touring bike as well as being more than capable as a race bike to advertise the shop i had at the time... But then shortly after i had an accident that put an end to my cycling days
for many years. So i ended up selling it to a good friend.
My wife to this day, still wishes she had it.
The new owner still has this bike and its still as mint as the day i sold it to him, he's made a couple of changes, mainly swapping the hubs out in favour of 3dv ringle jobbies.
The next time i go to lancashire i will get some new pics..
Hope you like it...
All the very best for the new year.
Martin.
PS, the syncros stem was made on the same day as the new owners birthday, bonus for him
