That's a gorgeous piece of kit!

And a colour scheme I haven't seen before either.

I have two also. <doffs hat>

Yep, I saw this bike on MP and I immidiately contacted the seller. That was a LBS nearby my work, so the pickup was easy.

I allready had a complete set STX SE ready on a shelf. Which looks nice on this bike.

Now I'm working on the front suspension. I would like to replace this fork for a yellow RS Quadra 21R. I've allready got this fork, but I've got some work to do.... see: http://www.retrobike.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=171591

Cheers, will

Well.... I've got a nice working Rock Shox Quadra 21R now...
I think that the yellow fork makes the bike more... yellow...

Still, I enjoy riding it

Cheers,
Will

Very nice Will! Love the yellow Quadra with this bike! Think it originally came with this fork!

Very nice!
