Price dropped to £200 for frame, original forks (colour matched rigid, not pictured) stem and bar. £275 for everything.
Spec is as follows:
Fillet brazed Columbus Nivachrom frame built for me by Sonic Cycles in 1992
Fillet brazed one piece Reynolds 753 bar and stem (135mm)
Manitou Mach 5 SX forks. 63mm travel, elastomer and oil damping cartridge. Original colour coded rigid straight forks also available (don't have these with me, but can get them sent up fairly easily if necessary.)
Size is 16.5 inches, with short chainstays (16.5 inches) and longish top tube.
Frame weight is well under 4lbs, but it's never been thrashed - I was pretty light when I used to ride it!
Also included:
Blue Ringlé seat QR
Primax needle bearing headset
XT V brakes
Deore V brake levers
105 rear mech
Deore front mech
Deore 7/8 speed thumbshifters
Onza bar ends
(Chainset in picture not included)
This is the best climbing mtb I've ridden and has a great ride. It's been sitting in my parents' cellar since about 1996 and the time has come to sell it.
Bad bits: a few chips on the top tube, several chips on the chainstays and a some slightly mismatched touching up paint on the bars. The Manitous probably need stripping down as they've not been used for 20 years.
It's roughly equivalent to a Roberts DOGSBOLX (a frame I considered at the time) but isa fraction lighter and was a bit cheaper to purchase back in the 90s.
Cheers,
JP
