I have all XT drive train square taper bottom bracket ( I do not like the latest types at all)with Ultegra bar end levers. The brake levers are DiaCompe normal drop bar type.

Hi John,

Your straddle clamp looks trick! I am guessing it's not standard equipment with the suntours?

John, are those tires Schwalbe City Jets? How do they compare to say the Pancera Hi Roads or a pair of Schwalbe Marathons?

Yes they are/were. I was very pleased with them as they ran very quick. I changed them over to Schwalbe Marathons before my Camping trip. I have a very bad aversion to punctures and trust the Marathons implicitly! I have the City Jets just lying around for 'spares now'.
I have no reason other than the fact that they were cheap to doubt them.

You have more photos of your bike than me, there must be a medical name for it.
