Hey folks.
I started riding to work last year on my 1992/3 Orange Clockwork. It's now doing three times the mileage of my other MTBs, is still mostly running original components and is starting to fall to pieces. I priced some new parts up on Wiggle/CRC/etc and for not far off the same money I can just buy a newer, better bike. But I like this thing and want to keep riding it. Hoping some of you folks have some suitable bits lying around that you'd be willing to part with for a fair price. Would prefer to go 10sp as I have a spare RD and cassette already, but would be fine with 9sp. Not interested in vintage stuff and making this a museum piece, just want reasonably modern gear in good working order to keep this bike working reliably for the commute and occasional off road trip round Lysty.
Here's the list of stuff I think I need:
Wheels, both 26", rim brake, standard QR.
BB Threaded, 68mm (has this standard changed in the last 20yrs? Current one is a wobbly Shimano STX square taper)
Cranks Double or triple, 9/10sp
FD Double or triple, bottom pull, 28.6 dia, 2 or 3x to match cranks.
Brakes V-brake levers and V-brakes front and rear.
Shifters 10sp front and rear.
Optional:
RD, 9sp (if cheap 10 speed stuff is too hard to find)
Cassette, 9sp (if cheap 10 speed stuff is too hard to find)
Cheers!
