I'm sure one has been on before. Of course they Specification is Deore LX, probably the black stuff circa 1993/4/5.
Though I thought lx was a dark blue frame. Black was the xt one. Same frame just different front triangle colour.

Search the forum for British Eagle and Lotus. British Eagle made the bikes ( BOSS era)

The LX was a dark green frame I think (I used to have one).

I thought the blue frame was STX, green was LX, Maroon was XT and black was XTR. Racer X had a really gorgeous black one which he'd built with M900 XTR but I can't find any pics of it :cry: So here's a pic of my maroon one with XT all over it

The catalogue pictures are now gone from the forum

Went before I could put them in the Archive.

LX this year ('93 ?) was British Racing green (say's LX on the top tube). Though not sure about his top models for that year as an XTR one should be there.

Maybe in 1994 when DX was removed and STX introduced, they shifted them all up and added XTR to the line (so XTR is XT colour, XT is DX colour LX is LX and STX is added to the line up ?)
or XTR was always there and LX and STX moved up a colour ?

XT ?

That makes sense to me, And I agree it would be useful to see the catalogues.
