TEH FRANKENCROSS
this bike is parts of three different, mostly broken bikes, combined to form one CROSSING MONSTAR!!!!
well, sort of.
frame and rear derailleur (suntour hero), and rear brake are from a Schwinn Sprint, mid-eighties vintage (i think).
wheels (Mavic Open CDs with Dura-Ace hubs), handlebars (Colnago, i think), shifters (butterfly), crank (Shimano 600), BB (Shimano sealed-cartridge, forget exactly which), front der (exage, i think), and front brake (Shimano 600) are from a late-80s Vitus 979 which had an unfortunate tube-joint separation.
Computer was also on that Vitus, and is a Cateye enduro, I think.
Seat and the frame that I'm intending to switch it all over to are from a mid-90's Nishiki mountain bike that I had in high school.
I forget what the tires are at moment, but they are the only new thing on this.
