About

The MBK Baroudeur 1989 was my first mountain bike.

It was more called an ATB (All Terrain Bike) at the time.

Specifications

• Shimano SIS 3x8 speed
• Steel 2040 tubing
• Around 16000BEF (400EUR)
• Cantilever brakes

Project

Keep the frame, throw everything else away.

Problems

Stem bolt

I am missing the long bolt for the stem.

Derailleur

I ordered an adaptor to install a decent derailleur: https://fr.aliexpress.com/item/33042827071.html

Bottom bracket

I need a special tool to remove the bottom bracket with 3 hooks.

Wheels

The wheels are crap (no QR, 7 speed, bad rims), I have a spare Bontrager dual disk/rim brake for the front, but I am still looking for a decent rear wheel.

I have a DTSwiss disk wheel, but I would need to undish the wheel, and buy a rim designed for rim brakes.
