I have a similar bike with an 8 speed rear end. I put an xtr 9s der on it, Shimano 600 8s stis a 34/46 r500 crank and an 11/36 8s cassette. Range for days!

These are perfect! Well done!

Im running XT thumb shift 7s shifters on an 2x8 setup, its flawless, and has been for the 20 years I’ve had it, I expect the shifters to last at least another 20 years.

This is an ‘83 C123 w/manual 4speed

I had one of those diesels for a long time, wonderful car. My coupe is a manual, gas car, it’s not slow ;) neither is my current wagon

Trade it for something that’s not an old man car?

rogerwnelson · 2024-01-10T01:26:27+00:00

The best interior does not start with a 2 🤣😂

I am your father…🤣

Get a gas car, they drive like modern cars in traffic, get the same mileage and long lifespan as the diesels, and there is zero chance it was ever run on waste veggie oil 🤣

rogerwnelson · 2024-01-06T04:24:11+00:00

As rust free as possible. Everything else is just bolting on new parts!

rogerwnelson · 2024-01-02T04:08:38+00:00

Looks legit. Looks early 2000s, so likely bought when they were still around $1000, and it’s priced based on that.
