Saw this frame on ebay and couldn't help myself!! Got to have it!
And now I do! Don't know why, just liked it!! :D Well it's my size anyway!

It's the top of the line of the 1992 Scott MTB's! See: http://www.retromtb.pl/pdf/scott1992.pdf

Got to get it over here, but allready bought myself a nice AT-3 bar so I can make it like in the catalogue! Got my eye on a Tange Big Fork also!

Needs new decals and a new paint job!

Here are some pics of it.

Love the Scott pro racings. I have a team cst ( not the full sus one), and my ride for my teens was a 1990 green and white one, still have it :)

I must say the ride is good, I'm biased thou

I think the rims were suppose to be m231s

According to the catalogue they were Araya RM-400 pro! hard to find though! :cry: Think I will be using RM20 or RM17

Want to see the frame first to see if it needs a repray allready! Otherwise I will build it up first and get it reprayed somewhere in the future! Will order 2 sets of decals, just in case!! :wink:

Cheers,
Bart

Bart, Araya RM395 Team rims would be slightly easier to find & very similar to the 400's (although with eyelets). I have accumulated a couple of sets over the last few years.

Finally some progress! Bought myself a NOS Scott AT3 bar and had BobCatMax design me some new decals! They look great!

Got the XTR brake/shifters, brakes, crank and rear mech! Still looking for a 28.6 M901 top pull (can swap for a 34.9 :wink:)

Here are the pics!

BTW Oryginal decals are having acid colour as in photos (different to catalogue), or it's only camera view?

Aah! That's looking good! Will get pics of my 34,9 tomorrow!

The decals in the photos are faded. Think they were bright yellow. Do you mean by acid; bright green??

Are you sure! It just doesn't seem to match with the yellow fork? Or was the fork also bright green?
