Cromo frame that is 5 pounds lighter, 1-1/2" headtube, lock tabs, Yepp. EasyFit mounts, 10mm axle dropouts. Maybe a cassette instead of a freewheel. Mine is on order!

http://seneb.blogspot.com/2015/09/our-first-weekend-with-new-mundo.html

Tuesday, September 01, 2015. Our First Weekend With The New V5 Mundo. I ended up staying up later than originally planned on Wednesday to finish the Mundo. As usual, I had to change some things to better suit my preferences. Instead of the swept-back bars I put on some Race Face. Riser bars I had lying around along with a set of orange Oury. Has a shim available, but forgot to send it. Kindly, they did overnight it to me but I'm going to wait for my zero setback Thomson. I used an old aluminum Cannondale...

Friday, April 03, 2015. Photos and Specs of the Completed FSR Rebuild. I finished the build a couple weeks ago and am now getting around to posting some photos here. The bike rides surprisingly well and is not terribly heavy. The final weight is around 26.5 pounds. I'm planning on sending the fork to Risse Racing. For a Gem cartridge and overall rebuild. The Sped Springs that are in the fork now have no rebound dampening and come up way too fast. Current build list as of this post:. Stem - Thomson X4.
