This bike was rebuilt and updated by me and the stoker. The original Suntour XCE front derailleur shifts beautifully on these non-ramped 110/74 rings. Rear derailleur updated to XT to handle the capacity of 11-34. Brakes are Paul Neo-Retros and levers are Tektros. Silver stoker stem is one of Santana's forgings to the best of my knowledge. Stoker has a nice wireless VDO C3 computer running off the front wheel. Blue cages came with the bike. Rear rack is a Tubus. Fenders are SKS. Only oddball thing about this lovely cycle is the 26.6 mm seatpost!
