Do you need a modern bikepacking bike to go bikepacking? Or will an old school 90's MTB do the trick? We find out.
The Bike:
- early 90's Specialized with full XT
- retomod'd with Velo Orange Cigne stem, Surly Terminal bars, Paul's Components levers and canti's, Brooks Cambium saddle, and Tubus Logo Evo rear rack.

Hi Steve O!!!

Now I'm waxing nostalgic over my old Ritchie Ultra. I'll never forget that bike and if I ever saw one I'd grab it!

Dude! There was one on Kijiji recently. Go get it. We'll start a retropacking gang!

Nice build! I just "finished" building out my 1998 Barracuda XC URT frame into a softtail gravel bike. I put on a Carver rigid, steel fork with an axle to crown measurement of 440mm. I am running a set of Paul Components Cross Stop 3's front and rear with a set of Dia-compe moto style levers from 1986, Satori Aero bars (Copy of the Origin8 Strongbow), 1x7 drivetrain, friction shifter, 11-34 cassette, and a 30t chainring.

Very cool. I remember assembling a lot of Barracuda bikes back in the day. Got any big plans for it?

@johnnydoe66 2 дня назад

@@bikebikerides Sure do, I have already taken it on several gravel rides. It works very well with the 1 x 7 drivetrain and the rear suspension takes the edge off any rough sections. I am looking at front and rear racks because I plan on using it next year to ride the Katy Trail in Missouri next year.
