trialsmax04 Posted February 12, 2012 Report Share Posted February 12, 2012 SPD's are a must for an oldschool build like this. But, as im guessing your using it as a run around/ trip to the shops bike, Shimano DX's would be cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomm Posted February 13, 2012 Report Share Posted February 13, 2012 If you're set on keeping it in the right vintage, DMR V8s would still be authentic. And if you want one of these brakes in good condition, let me know. http://www.ebay.com/itm/NOS-Shimano-Deore-XT-V-brakes-brake-set-BR-M739-/310343792777#ht_774wt_922 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeyseemonkeydo Posted February 13, 2012 Report Share Posted February 13, 2012 SPD's are a must for an oldschool build like this. That confuses me greatly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trialsmax04 Posted February 13, 2012 Report Share Posted February 13, 2012 How come? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeyseemonkeydo Posted February 13, 2012 Report Share Posted February 13, 2012 Because SPD's aren't oldschool. Not in my head anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomm Posted February 13, 2012 Report Share Posted February 13, 2012 They're at least as old as the rest of that bike though? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

isitafox Posted February 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2012 Well I got the majority of it built up tonight, just need to stick the cassette on and attach the cables and setup everything. Got the trialtech pedals I've had on my uni on but they'll have to go as the axles are bent! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
