The only things I changed were the seat post (because it had acquired one a size or so too small at some point), bars (because I has some rises that fitted handy and the fitted me better than the 500mm bars thawed on it) and the tyres (2.35 Big Apples are stunning tyres for prattling about round town). Oh and a pannier rack got added.
Cantis stayed, Deore thumbies stayed, and 3×7 gearing stayed.
Works well and I’m happy to chain it up in town because it was cheap and doesn’t look special.
Have big apples going on mine…
Think I’ll try it as is, then either SS with modern stuff or stick the ~99 era stuff I have onto it (rc36/alex g3000 etc).
