Really nice build on this! Suntour XC Pro cranks are some of the all time greats and you have it with about the best generation of XT. Specifically a Hyperdrive-C compatible FD that along with the similar LX version (m563) is the best match for most smaller chainring (large ring 42-46t range)

Update: I was shooting from the hip on pricing the other day and I think bundling the shipping in isn't fair to the buyer or me. I've decided to drop the price to $1500 for the bike and then shipping is 100% on the buyer. I think this is fairer and more transparent. I hope this makes it more ap

It’s been mentioned in this thread already, but worth repeating: considering how high Boscos rise, just be careful you don’t cut off too much, just in case you want to swap bars later for something that might require a bit more stack.On Jan 19, 2023, at 6:39 PM, Ryan Frahm wrote:Looks great, so c

There's a small (48 cm), red(!) Hillborne in the Bay Area that I'm trying to resist buying myself. I think it may be a bit small for me with my 79 cm PBH, and not quite what I need to replace my Disc Trucker. I'm trying to hold out until the next batch of Appaloosas. https://sfbay.craigslist.org/e

I have found a couple of solutions to the lack of bag loops on modern saddles. Velo Orange sells clamp on loops, but they didn't look very strong to me. The Restuvus saddle attachment is nicely made and feels very secure. I haven't used mine a lot, but I think it's a great option. One source I foun

It’s all personal preference but i prefer running mine with more tension than the one in your photo. Their website has some recommendations on how to tension. On Thu, Jan 19, 2023 at 7:28 AM Tom Wyland wrote: > I found that the Selle Anatomica works for me, too. I've had mine for 2 > years now.

Kim, There is nothing better than a saddle that works for you. From your photo I can see that the Selle Anotomica truly does have a hammock shape, much different from a Brooks. I'm happy so far with my Brooks B17 but it is good to know there are leather options in the market. Doug On Thursday,
