basics to make it rideable and update the cockpit are done. next up is a v brake conversion, then 1x. but those are both several months to a year away, probably.
>>1480141nice. i love specialized's colors, and that they have horizontal dropouts so that you don't need a tensioner for ss. but i was holding out for a cheap rockhopper or 9xx, and found the 930 first. and since i al;ready have an old school mtb ss my goal with this was more of an xc rig, so dropouts weren't a dealbreaker.

>>1480152depends how authentic you want. that's part of the reason i was looking for a bit of a frankenbike when i was shopping (in addition to having a lower price), so i wouldn't feel guilty about stripping down a clean, original bike.
>>1480154is that really that slack, or is it an illusion from the photo angle?
