Schwinn Moab 2

This one doesn't exactly look vintage, but it's from circa 2000, so I gues it's close enough :lol:

I got bored of my old 1993 Rockhopper drop bar conversion, so I decided to build this guy....

I've already posted this before about a year ago, but my 1993 Rockhopper has changed a bit since then. Swapped out the crappy Exage cantis for powerful XT V-brakes, put different wheels on, and...

Thanks for the compliment! About the shifters, I posted earlier how I got them to work on my Tequesta, they're the same here:



Adding to that post, there is one disadvantage to doing this: The...

My drop bar GT Tequesta that I posted in this thread earlier was a nice ride, but it was heavy. So when I got the opportunity to pick up a 1993 Specialized Rockhopper in my size for free, I snatched...

Thumb-bar-end shifter closeup
