94 MB-1 Suspension stem and grip shifter. Catalogue lists thumb shifters but this might have been mid-year manufacture change or dealer change. I may change to Suntour expert thumbies I have lying around and go friction. XTR front and rear derailers. Again different from catalogue, upgrade from Deore. Shimano cantis and Diacompe levers. Cool Ritchey designed biplane fork. Old Avocet saddle. The gal I bought it from had Specialized wheels that I replace with old Mavics, front radial laced, rear 3 cross. Street tires on because the only off-road I ride is trails. Great for urban riding around DC.
The crane barge Conquest MB 1 is seen here leaving the port of Antwerp with the tugs Jannie-B and Wilco-B on the stern.
On the bow, it was towed by Port of Antwerp Authority tug nr. 11 from its berth at the 6th Haven dock into the lock but for the trip downstream the river Schelde, it was the tug Andre –B that performed the tow.
