Hi, I am new on this forum, I was looking for a french vintage mtb forum in order to show mine, but it seems it doesn't exist in french, so I apologize for my poor english...
 
So this is the one and only mtb I have had, since 1993, and I gave it a lot of different life !

First of all, this is the official picture from the 1987 catalog :

Mine is 22" wide.

In the early begining, I've put lot of pink accessories, so eighties !

But in 1995, I've spent all my summer polishing my frame, and intalling new components, like Suntour 9002 fork, Shimano STX group, etc..

In 1996, introducing old Magura hydrolic brakes, and carbon components..

Hi Mofofo, and welcome to the forum :) Nice bike, and I like the pics from the different incarnations. I personally like the 1997 best.
 
Cool bike. I don't normally venture out of the road forum but your avatar caught my eye. Glad I looked now!

No soucy : the blue color of this Sugino Disc Drive didn't match with the bike, but this covering is easily removable.
