Should be picking up a 92 20" explosif tonight with some bits attached. A mixture by the look of it.

Well, the clockwork won't be ready until next week at the earliest so what can you do?

Something will have to go....................................... :facepalm:
 
After a full day, meetings and then an extra 75 miles in this lovely weather.......

It's lovely and I think it was a steal! Presumably fork adjustment is by changing the pressures? All lx, bought from original owner who changed the forks and did about a hundred mikes on them before storing it. Xt front shifter, lx rear. Lx mechs. Needs some TLC but straight and dink free and BIG.

Is this original lx?

Going to need at least new cables, possibly chain, a cable stop for rear v brake. Does anybody know the top tube diameter off hand? Calipers in shed and it's pouring down.

What year would this be? I think he said 92.
 
I think the graphics are later - my guess is more like 95-96, but I'm no expert. That LX looks later too. I have a 94 Rampage that came with original LX cranks and they look much more like the late 80's/early 90's shimano.
 
Re:

Dropouts would suggest '93 or older, seatpost clamp suggests '92 or later
Definitely not the original decals
Whats the frame number say HM?
