    That looks ace. Just got rid of the front gears on my 90s bike to make it 1×7.

    No gears, magic ratio it instead for ultimate in tidiness.

    It’s easy mate. Find the groupset you want here:

    Then stick an ad up here:

    http://www.retrobike.co.uk/forum/viewforum.php?f=3&sid=180e6bc8383b208323a72b92568484e7

    Someone will be along in no time offering what you’re after. Plenty of XT and LX about from that era that you can pick up for buttons. 😉
