Bought something for my wife......! Well, that's my excuse! :wink:

I found this one and it is completely original, so I couldn't resist. Hopefully my wife will enjoy it!

A link to the 1993 Specialized catalogue:

Here are the first pics of it. Only changed the grips for NOS Specialized ones. Need to do some cleaning and it needs a new saddle. Everything is original, even the tires!!! Need to replace those too! :wink:

Thanks guys!

Yeah, I think it looks very nice and allmost unused! Allthough, that's according to the pics. In flesh it's always a bit different, we will see! I think it will arrive tomorrow! It looks like it's 100% original! :D

The blue decal is some kind of sponsor (?!?), will delete that asap!
