A few of you know I don't ride too much but repair, fix and give away bikes for homeless.  Every once in a while someone gives me some parts. I kinda freaked.....

Great parts!  Someone is going to be very lucky as these look in great shape.  I have the same on my 252.  I still ride it after 22 years. Which I'm still riding after 22 years.

The one change I made to this setup was to install a sort of top-out bumper.  I sliced one of the firm, red bumpers you have installed as the main bumper.  I then installed this half bumper between the red cable guide and black "lever" portion of the stem.

Initially I was using this bike as a commuter and a weekend trail bike.  The weekend trail use was a little to rough on the parts and I was noting the red cable guide was bending under the force.
