1992 Alpinestars Al-Mega XT **SOLD**

I got this frame from a fellow RetroBiker. It didn't come with a fork, so I found a Cannondale Pepperoni to paint and bolt on. The frame measures as a 21", but it still was a little small for me. So instead of cutting the steerer tube, I had to leave the length and use a s-load of spacers. Doesn't look as I would like, but it does the job. Actually, it looks goofy as hell.

I should mention, this is a bike I will keep in my cube at work, ride to the store, etc. So I don't know how far I will take this build. I used a lot of parts I had lying around. The front Nuke Proof hub needs rebuilding, so if anyone has bearings for that, let me know. The saddle is temporary. Not comfortable at all.

I had to add more threads to the fork and no one in my area had a 1 1/4" die to cut the threads. Thankfully, danson67 came through. I was able to send the forks to him, have him cut the new threads and get it back to me.

I don't think it looks goofy with all the spacers - it definitely looks a bit short for you though with all that seat post showing. Still I think it looks really nice. Those Cannondale forks look really good with it.

Nice job. Enjoy.

Thanks. It is a really solid ride.

Very Nice. Is black rare? I remember these in white.

Maybe those are the 1991 versions?

How tall are you? Just out of interest.

Wheelbase looks very short and the seat is almost over the centre of the rear wheel what does it ride like?

I am 6'6"
It is a odd ride for sure. I have a lot of spacers installed on the steerer tube so it isn't such an odd ride.
It is my ride to the store bike.

Ah that explains it. I'm 6ft 3 always nice when someone's actually taller ha ha.

Looks like it'd always want to wheelie!

If you ever get tired of riding it to the store I would gladly take it off your hands
