    '95-ish Giant ATX 780 - Refresh

    I'm not familiar with this particular model of ATX, but have to say it's giving Specialized Stumpjumper vibes - which isn't a bad thing! :cool:

    Giant MCM Team

    Small update: Rim decals were in very poor condition, faded and lifting. Fortunately I had a matching rim with a decent decal, so a few emails back and forth with Gil at retro decals and he produced me a new set. The old set were a sod to remove but I’m pleased with the result having fitted...

    What's happened to all the "stuff"

    A whole lot of this! Problem is I didn't know at the time that I would need the part in the future, but selling it to fund something at the time was most important :D I've got a few things for sale at lower prices than others have sold the same item for yet they still aren't selling, so...

    XT BR-M775 - serviceable?

    Actually I was pleasantly surprised that the bleed quote was only £15 per brake - which I was happy to pay, just not the significant upsell...

    XT BR-M775 - serviceable?

    OK chaps thanks. 'Modern' bike stuff eh! Already bought a new shock for the bike earlier in the year (c.£300), so I suppose a new set of XT brakes should be bought. Appears I can get a new f&r set for £150 :rolleyes: Way cheaper than buying a new bike I suppose!

    XT BR-M775 - serviceable?

    I've got a set of these on my Giant Anthem which is in the LBS at the moment, I hoped for a simple brake bleed of the front brake. I wanted them to do the work as I'm always getting boxes from them and spending very little. However they've told me both callipers are leaking and they aren't...

    Wanted Tioga handlebar in silver or blue & stem in blue

    Edited my hunt for a silver bar as well as / instead of a blue bar as the former might be easier to come by. I bought a black bar but Evri managed to lose it :mad:

    @elite504 thanks for the comments. Re: the front brake set up, pretty sure I have the 2mm thick cable in place (but will double check). Also think I’ve got the correct cable straddle - but open to correction on that if you’d can provide a link to the ones you mention on Bicyclist.cc. 👍
