Hi folks. It is a Delta Cycles mirror. I have two in use. The other on the 1993 Bridgestone XO-1. Works well to get a glimpse of what is behind you. The Rivendell Mountain was Rivendell's first offerings. There was the Road or Road Standard, Allrounder and Mountain. You had several options. I had some requests that were considered. One given the ok (Rollercam brake mounts) and the other a no go (Breezer/KGB/hooded drop out) per Grant. The Mountain was supposed to have its own proprietary lugset and crown. The crown was supposed to be some special one, but it got nixed, probably due to low demand for that model. They went with the same lugset as the Allrounder with different tubing and vertical dropouts. Ordered mine in 1997 and got it 1998 or so. Pretty sure I got it Christmas Eve 1998 when they were going away from Waterford at that time. Was chasing the love for later Bridgstone MB-1. Went with the Softride suspension stem and Thudbuster Uni-Pivot post because I also had a thing for the Softride beam bikes of the time. Already had a Nitto made Richey stem that was stashed along with other parts for the build. Got the Thudbuster because it seemed fitting to go with the Softride stem. Bottle cage is a Tallac Duel Stainless Steel cage with storage bag/canister. Bought them new at a used shop in Chicago just north of Lane Tech years ago. Cage and bag/container were on my Wilderness Trail Bikes (WTB) Phoenix Ti, but moved it over when I swapped out cages on it. Build is WTB and Suntour XC-Pro. Bars are Scott AT-3 with ODI Attack kryton rubber bar wrap on the extentions and WTB modified Magura motorcycle grips.
Ordered with the thought of using WTB Dirt Drop bars in the future, if desired. Gabrial, Nice set up on your Mountain. Nice Monkey Wrench Cycles stuff. I have known the owners since before or early on. Nate has given an assist on a couple bike projects of mine. Jason, I work just up the road from you at I-80 and Highway 50/144th street.
