Tektro's levers can be had for less than $30. They are pretty great. https://www.ebay.com/itm/33376781874...kAAOxy4YdTUc2e

And you can get them in long pull and short pull versions depending on the types of brakes you are using.

Front rack is a cheap Sunlite Gold Tec which I've strapped a Wald 137 basket to and tossed a Dark Realm 137 basket bag in. I've heard some stories of this rack failing under heavier loads, and for a while I was kicking around the idea of getting a similar Nitto rack for the peace of mind, but then I also came across stories of steel Nitto racks failing when people attached baskets and overloaded em. I think the moral of the story is that any front rack that attaches to the canti posts, no matter how shiny/expensive, should be treated gingerly and not overloaded. While touring with this bike, I try to keep my high volume-low weight items up front and put the heavier stuff in the saddlebag. If you want to put a lot of weight on the front, it'd probably be better to get a rack that attaches to eyelets near the axle.

Rescued this from a dumpster and kept it over 70% original, it is now my dedicated winter rig/ errand runner. I even sold my touring bike in favor of keeping this.

My only experience is with XT/Tourney combo. I'd either continue to tweak in your LX(I suspect there's a sweet spot there somewhere) or look for an XT.

Nice bike. Mine is now a dedicated touring bike and it's a wonderful ride. Did a 61 miler on it today..shakedown ride for an upcoming tour.
PCons713,
I was going trough my 970 today and had to disconnect the FD cable..which means I "lost" my perfect nice-shifting setup on the front end. It was tough getting it back(apparently I stumbled into the right setup when I first assembled it on the first try..). After futzing with it for a while with marginal success I disconnected the cable, loosened up the inline barrel adjuster to about mid-travel and started from scratch. Followed a mix of Calvin Jones/Park Tool video and RJ-Bike Guy's video..a little more tweaking & I now have good FD shifting back. Whole setup (success) seems to be particularly sensitive to the low limit screw adjustment. Determined my RD hanger was a bit out of alignment(slight DR rumble after completely setup) and fixed that..but that's a different issue. Please post back if you ever get yours adjusted in. I may be picking up another similar bike(same components) and it would be good to know where you netted out.

Just f
Just finished converting a 1989 GT Team Avalanche that I have had for about 30 years. Test rides around the block were good. I found that I was between the middle and large chainring on the MTB triple and am trying a road triple. The 3x7 shifters are Micronew brand and seem fine.. To get the XT front derailleur to work with the shorter throw shifter I ran the cable on the opposite side of the clamping bolt, as suggested somewhere on this website.

My apologies...
Some how I missed this question from post #7134 from July 10th of this thread and did not reply.
https://www.bikeforums.net/22136304-post7134.html

My powder coated 1989 or 1990 Trek 950 which was originally that same bright blue,
has upright bars, a Sunlite alloy North Road handlebar and a 1" quill stem adapter plus 8cm , 25.4 clamp stem, Origin8, I think.

A pic here on this upright bar thread.

Not actually a mountain bike, but my TREK 750 hybrid drop bar conversion is pretty close, and it’s currently my favorite ride.

Nice bike. Actually a 750 DB conversion may be one of the best conversion-types as it can handle larger tires and the frame is a bit lighter/more road like. I've been thinking about building up a 750 myself..one of the more versatile frames ever made, and there's lots of them around.

In 2000, I was looking to do something like this to my Multitrack, but fell hard for a Kona Jake the Snake (figuratively and literally... washed out on some gravel on a test ride) so just traded it in for that. Never regretted that, but I think the trek would have been a fun bike.

Zooming into your pic, I'd say your front derailleur is mounted too high. Try lowering it down to where you are a few millimeters of above the big gear teeth, align it parallel to the big cog, and try again. That should be a good derailleur for what you attempting.

Sweet build pcons! Thanks for sharing this here. These 90's Treks make such classy drop bar conversions, especially with a modern bar/stem setup.

If you don't mind me asking, what make/model of threaded to threadless stem adapter did you use here? I am doing a really similar conversion on a 1992 Trek 7000 with a 1 1/8" threaded headset (same Deore LX groupset that will be coupled to the same 3x7 Microshift shifters on a modern bar/stem setup) but am struggling to find a 1 1/8" to 1 1/8" adapter that is tall enough (and reputable/safe enough) to allow me to use a more common 7° stem rather than a normal/shorter adapter and high-rise 35°-40° stem (like I had to do on an '89 Hardrock build I did last year) to achieve a similar stack height and bar position. Your adapter extension and stem setup is what I am looking for as well, so any and all information you can provide here would be much appreciated!

Bought this bike from a local shop 2.5 years ago. They had converted it to drop bars but there were many things I wanted to change, mostly cosmetic, some functional. I'm finally done with my modifications. It's a 1991 Bianchi Ibex. Took it on my first overnight trip a couple weeks ago and I love it.

Looks great! Are those tires Panaracer Paselas? I'd love to hear a report on how they do. I've got 2.1" Maxxis DTHs on my '84 Stumpjumper Sport & I like them a lot, but I'm thinking I could go a little narrower & not miss anything. They handle street, path, & single track just fine.

It was never a Salsa. Those were leftover decals from a resto-mod I started and traded off before I finished it. It is not a Voodoo either. I couldn't find replacement decals for what it was and these looked cool so I used these. It's a Performance M103 frame made of True Temper OX Ultra 2 and the fork is a Tange bi-plane from a 1983 Specialized StumpJumper.

No race that I have been in or read about has limited the style of bicycle. The only rule has been you must pedal fully under your own power- so no e-assist.

There are often times separate podium categories for singlespeed and fatbike, which helps show just how varied the bikes used can be.

Yes, it has required a bit of adjusting and seems like it will work out well. Still not 100% but it is getting there, and a little touch to the barrel adjuster mid-ride is ok for now.

I'm using a no-name stem adapter which I bought a while ago, so I don't know which website. I can't recall how tall this one is but I know its either 160 or 180mm. In this photo it isn't quite extended to the max height, so I can still bring the tops level with the saddle if needed. Maybe I'm wrong, but I haven't heard of many quill stem failures on the fork insert part so I'm not very concerned about the reputability. I think most fail near the handlebar clamp.

To me your front derailleur is either a bit high or twisted, but maybe it's just the picture angle. Here are some pics that I tried to take straight on to help from a similar vintage derailleur that if have. I took pics from all three gears so you can compare spacing. I also took a pic from above, sometimes with these old derailleurs I pinch the front end slightly, you can see it in the last picture. It seems to help. The big difference though is that I'm using a friction front shifter which lets me micro adjust my shifts.

UPDATE:



The Super Maxy non-drive arm had a crack (along with a variety of other factors) made fitting a proper bottom bracket difficult. I went with a SunXCD and had them install a new headset as well. Definitely need new brake pads. Plenty of little things need to be fine-tuned, but it's a bike! I can't wait to get on some good off-road terrain to really try this thing out!

Love those SunTour 3 pulley derailers! Which one is it? I can't quite tell from the pic.
