Wanted: Vintage XT ATB

rusty bodie · Aug 16, 2016

I am going to get back into the MTB over the winter and fancied
something retro (of course). Does anyone have a really nice, non thrashed/ bashed bike for sale with Deore XT, U Brakes/ Cantilevers/ Thumbshifters for sale? Maybe something like an old Saracen, Specialized, Scott USA, Diamond Back from around the late 80s/ early 90s?

Looking for a 20-21" frame.

Thanks,

Craig

POST CODE LO-TEH-REEEE!!

Sorry Cheese-meister, your bike reminds me of something one
of our regular nutters used to ride! He would come in almost daily and
do his best to test our knowledge on all things cycling circa 1980s!! Probably why I'm on this forum today!!
