Ok...so I'm back for a second time in one day. NUTS!

Here are a couple of "before' shots of the Ibis...all I had...not very good planning. You can see the rust issues around the head tube, and where it was on the down tube. The rust was actually snaking under the paint...I was worried, but it ended up just being surface issues... PHEW!





Now. some more details on the ongoing project...

First, the new head tube shot...mmmmmmmm







OK...so some MB-Zip brake levers with Mavic Wishbone shifters for some glam...


And a short cage Mavic road der


Other parts to come are Specialized cranks, XTII front der, NOS XT platforms, NOS Araya RM-20 24-inch rear wheel on XT 6-speed hub...lots more goodies...Now if Quality would just show up with my spokes!

And, the most powerful brake of '88...

Scott Pedersen U-brake!



More to come.
