Stopped by my LBS yesterday to scrounge the brake parts bin for a part for my Scott Pederson SE brakes I was going to put on this build. So far I had built the whole thing with a $5 fork and parts I had lying around. However, I found a complete set of M-900 XTR cantilevers in the bottom of the shop's parts bin. Gave them $10, ditched the Pedersons, and now I have $15 invested in my first SS. Supposed to be near 50 here tomorrow, so I am looking forward to the maiden voyage.
I think most of this stuff oon this bike quailfies as vintage:
Marin Team Frame (Tange Ultimate tubing)
cheap Trek take-off fork
WTB Grease guard headset
Cheap generic bars
Control Tech stem
Control Stix bar ends
Dia-Compe SS-5 levers
XTR M-900 brakes
Thompson post
Flite Saddle
XT M-730 Front Hub
RM-17 Front Rim
LX M-530 Rear Hub
RM-20 Rear rim
Suntour XC-pro pedals (Pre grease guard- superbe pro w/ mtn cages)
Power Grips
400LX crank w/ XT chainring
400LX rear der.
Tioga MudDawg rear tire
Spec Ground Control S front tire
P.S. Anybody know the year on this Marin Team frame?
