MTBs started using threadless and/or 1-1/8" head tubes way way way before they moved to road bikes. In the 90s it seems like it was the wild west as far as what spec you would find on any particular...

Yeah after you factor in shipping from the UK you only end up saving about $10 or so but still, $70-80 for reliable indexed shifters is a good deal.

Gorgeous, and nice work. How's the friction working with the 9-speed cassette so far? And how's the disc brake frame adapter working? Interested in both of those options at some point.
