1994 RC200 F3 19"
Wanted, got, tried, not sure, tried again, still not sure.....
build thread here... viewtopic.php?f=6&t=327976&start=20
Frame is 19", silver polished finish. See photos in the build thread the surface is shiny but tarnished so would benefit from a full polish (or maybe anodised, painted, powder coated.... ) to make it really superb.
Spec is broadly period correct with a few tweaks, Deore xt 737 drive, gears and brakes with 739 shifter / lever units. Brand new cane creek headset was installed. Brand new xt hubs were built onto used but good condition matrix Swami rims and look superb with the matching components. Tioga butted bars (these are a bit scratched up, not the best part on the bike but colour matches well and not too bad), control tech stem (new Ti bolts), flite saddle, Onza rip and rail tyres. It even has the correct rc200 f3 clear crud catcher, a nice finishing touch.
Forks are 95 rock shox judy xc with spring conversion, fully stripped and refreshed, good cosmetic condition with original rubber boots and work better than new now those nasty elastomer have gone.
Built as a keeper so didn't cut corners but I'm not feeling the love, it's not quite the right size for me. Time for a new project!
Yours for £850 collected. Collection preferred so you can see for yourself but delivery can be arranged to UK mainland only.
