Best would be to find a trashed frame that has the bosses with a through bolt. There was at least one aftermarket replacement, I'm unsure if it is still available.

I've been looking for one for a long time. Odd that they don't turn up very often. I think they'd make a great gravel bike.

That's an odd one.. From a shop that sold both brands?

I thought it was a steal at $200.

Bike looks great. I haven't used SRAM other than 10 speed. Good to know that MTB drivetrain will work with road shifters. What is the handlebar?

I didn't recall that they used a 1 1/4" fork in 1993. My 1992 R1000 has a 1" threaded fork. I have a couple of other 2.8 frames with the aluminum forks but I think they are all 1", will have to check.

Same here. Supposed to be mid to upper 90s today and super humid. I spent the morning picking up debris from last night's storm. Power has been off for about 12 hours so far. 3' diameter hackberry tree had the road blocked south of my house but a crew had it pretty well cleaned up by 10 AM.

I like the color.

Good to hear. Does the arm feel better?

Too bad. It would be fun to get on the train at Monett and ride the bike back. Seems that the train only runs between Van Buren and Springdale though.

The only problem is I'd have to do that to a lot of stones to find the correct one(s).

The touring bikes were 6 speed prior to 1990, and presumably 126 mm. I would have guessed that the switch to 135 mm came when the MTB standard became 135, but Velobase says that the M732 was the first 135 mm XT hub and that it was introduced in 1989.

There's a country cemetery near me that has very few intact stones. Most are broken or unreadable. I don't know if there's a record somewhere of who is buried there. I've looked at several different cemeteries for family members from the 1800s. A lot of stones from that era are so weathered...

That does make it look smaller.

That looks like a fun train trip. Cool that they are running passenger trains. Do they allow bikes on board?

Nice looking bike. I don't know if there are any 1" carbon forks in current production. Ritchey shows on Holland Bike Shop's site as out of stock but might come back. Columbus Minimal is still available on ebay...

I have several really nice 144 mm bolt circle diameter road cranks that are wall hangers because the smallest ring that fits is a hard to find 41t and that's closer to the big ring I'd like to run than the small. I still have lots of bikes with 52-53 big rings but they don't get ridden much...

Maybe it's the lack of "windows" in it but it looks much bigger.

What railroad? Rails look kind of light compared to those on the local BNSF (originally CB&Q).

I celebrated by mowing the cemetery on my farm. There's a War of 1812 vet buried there, so I always try to have it looking nice on holidays. Relatively few 1812 vets buried in IL - the next closest is 35 miles away.
