Bought this from tufftimes, and pyro tim very kindly picked it up for me last week. Anyway, it arrived last Tuesday and, as I was slap bang in the middle of moving into our new house, I didn't have much time to set it up.
It's set up now, and ready for it's first little spin today. Notice the lovely XT cranks which pyro tim fitted to replace the modern Alivio ones which were originally on it (thanks Tim!). The only other thing I've done is swap the black handlebars over for the silver RaceLight ones which were bundled in with the bike. I plan to get some Deore thumbies for it, and to swap the existing STI units over for some nice Kona brake levers which were also included with the bike.
Long term plans are to have it stripped and resprayed (I've yet to decide on the colour!) and built up with some nice functional kit - as I now have the cranks I was thinking of going with XT 730 or possibly mixing and matching a bit of DX with it (I prefer the look of the DX shifters and rear mech!).
But, for now, it's a perfectly solid machine and I'll enjoy riding it around and putting a few more scratches on it no doubt
