  1. Steve it rides both fast and comfy, well as fast as the old rider wants it to be
  2. No they are steel probably Ishitawa but no marking
  3. Lucky bugger have a blast Steve
  4. Brooks Cambium C17 Carved very comfy
  5. Haha I will leave a note for the owner😜
  6. Just finished a full restoration on this one, ended up with full paint and new decals because the frame was bad. Very interesting construction with the main tubes going into a mould and the alloy lugs mouded to the tubes creating one unit. Very stiff but not too light, but it was a touring bike in the day. Full Suntour groupset 2x10 sp with lovely power shifters mounted on the stem. Rides very nicely, comfortable bike.
  7. Thought this was ironic that almost 7 years after Ryan completed his build of the same Gemini, I had stripped off the yellow paint and redone the frame with decals this time. A good frame is always worth treasuring
  8. Will send you a PM with my details give me a call
  9. Cotic sizing is on the larger size so check first, I ride a 17" MTB normally which on a Simple or Solaris equates to a small
  10. Thats the way; dont overthink it, some of my best bikepacking was on a 1988 Schwinn High Sierra 26 MTB with bits and pieces made/scrounged from elsewhere. Just get out and ride
  11. Well done on securing the X, out of interest I built an Escapade and an X at the same time, albeit a Gen 1 Escapade. But I ended up selling the Escapade because the X rides better. Enjoy yours and see you on the trails and groads sometime
  12. Just make sure whether you need symetrical or assymetrical bolt pattern on that crank, there were two. Rapide can help with the latter but CSIXX for the former
  13. Do a fair bit of gravel riding in Magaliesburg; roads in some places are heavily rutted and full of rocks, GK SK+ 48mm 650B smooths out most of the rougher stuff. Look at going Carbon bar to take out the high frequency vibrations as well, match that with some thick bar tape and you should be golden
