It’s the m960 version which is a polished rapid rise and one of the last versions of their 9 speed. I have a medium cage that I will be posting shortly which I would imagine could shift an 11/32. On Thu, Sep 21, 2023 at 7:18 AM 'Kurt Henry' via RBW Owners Bunch < rbw-owners-bunch@googlegroups.com>

I'll agree with others, that is a very nice looking Atlantis! Which model of XTR derailleur are you using? I thought most of the earlier XTR derailleurs were grey, but that definitely looks shiny. I have been hunting for a silver rear derailleur for a custom build, and new ones are pretty

Hi Eliot, My hope is that you find the proper gearing that is most comfortable for you, yet have some climbing gears. With my success of the addition of the Avid Micro-adapter and a 20T chain ring on the 74bcd along with a 34T ring on the 110bcd and a 11-40T SunRace cassette in the back, I am

I think it’s a 40/24 setup with a 11/32 cassette. This was my first ride in this configuration and it might be too low for me. I spend a lot of time in the top 1/3 of the gear range. The low gears were nice for the hills though. The housing I’m using I got from Velo Orange. It looks nice. It works

I’m going to take the plunge and shellac the bars too. I really like the color of the chainstay protector. Also digging the bronze accents (Thanks Erik) The bronze rims work better than I expected. On Sat, Sep 9, 2023 at 2:54 PM John Rinker wrote: > That's a beauty Eliot! I just love those Toyo
