Two not-MTBs from MTB brands

[tangent]

Spotted the Bontrager roadlite via another posting elsewhere on here. As a keen Bontrager rider it appeals , but description of sizing etc. seems but vauge. If was just being offered as frameset only for lower cost , would be getting tempted.

Also cool as it is , what I’d really want is Bontrager cx …

Think YETI cycles made a nice road or cx bike too? … to keep thread going.

One I've always fancied -- the Orange Roadie-O from 1999.

This GT Edge is for sale on Melbourne Facebook Marketplace. Don't know much about them but it looks nice. That's a custom paint job, apparently.

Here's my not-mtb from an mtb brand, a 98 Ibis Spanky.



I'm a big fan of road bikes from niche american builders so hope this thread will continue......

I have a Breezer

Wow! Do you happen to have done a build thread for any of these two?

No unfortunately not. I'm more active over on mtb-news and just did build threads for a few mtbs.

The Breezer I bought in 2021 only frame and fork in original color but without decals. Repro decals by Gil. Build with Dura Ace 74xx group. I have two wheel sets: one classic with Dura Ace hubs and Sun Rims. And one more modern with Chris King R45 hubs and H+SON aero rims.

The Ritchey was a repaint by a previous owner. 97 model with red/white fade originally.
I got it this summer. It came with the Campa Record Titanium group and mostly black components. I wanted more chrome and less black: built a new wheel set with the record hubs and H+SON rims, added Ritchey cantis, chain set and Nitto seatpost, stem and bar...
