Re:
Gloves didnt last long eh
Small update, mavic decals arrived, popped on the bottom bracket and fitted the XT cranks.
I know it looks like a silly place for the mavic decals but they were fitted there :?

Re:
Coming along nicely
I know you've gone for Tioga chainrings but to me the big ring doesn't seem to match the one fitted in the stream/puddle pic, where the cut outs seem wider. Any history around the Tioga choice?

Agreed and its looking Fantastic.
based on the 91 images, didn't it have a cup and cone BB rather than the later UN jobbie...?

Re: Re:
I can see what you mean, I have been searching for a while for the correct parts, the one I got was bought from a member here and to be fair I thought they would have all been the same, after looking on ebay I found a tioga ring with the same cut out ..... but at £40, seems steep, an affordable one will turn up soon I imagine.

It probably does, and I'm sure I have one .... somewhere, I do have plans to strip down the Dave Yates and go to a later XT M737 groupset so all being well the bottom bracket should transfer over from that, or I will find the other in a drawer somewhere :?

Re: Re:
I always find the BB an issue to be fair, I never have the right length, and the UN bottom brackets are far easier to come by anyway. Im always mindful of older frames too, if the Threads have stretched, got sloppy, a UN72 always solves the problem without having to have the BB sleeved and then refinished.
