Picked this up recently:
Looks like its been upgraded over the years, or the UK spec differed to the catalogue on this site: http://www.retrobike.co.uk/gallery2/d/6 ... a61816007b The Matrix (made in the USA) rims I'm thinking are original, but the XT components maybe not.

Fork: Correct GT Spinner in alternate colourway
Headset: 1 1/8"
Stem: Girvin Flexstem
Handlebar: Tioga polished flat
Grips: Tioga Bio Grip
Brakes: Deore DX Cantilever front and U brake rear
Brake Pads: Koolstop front

Front Derailleur: XT M735
Rear Derailleur: XT M735

This has been well maintained, alas its going to donate most of its drivetrain to other projects as the frame is a bit small. Its a fantastic blast from the past though and rode great to the shops today.
