Schwinndy

Flashback to 2002
After years of putting it off, I finally put together a decent bike. Using old parts which include pre-y2k items, such as:
Shimano Deore DX hubs, derailleurs, thumb shifters
Mavic 230BSP rims
Ritchey SPD pedals

as well as a smattering of new parts (then) like:
Avid SD V-brakes and levers
RST Aerosa suspension fork
and of course a brand new Schwinn Moab 1 frame

The bike rode well, despite the old-ish parts spec. 21-speeds was more than enough, and the thumb shifters were bombproof. It was a blast, until the cheap suspension fork died on me.
