I think this is a pre-97 frame, but I'm quite happy to be moved on if I have offended the keepers of retro. It's a modern build however.
Following an appeal for a v-braked nippy XC frame I bought Nick's (suburbanreuben) Scapin off him.
It's a fairly modern build on the basis of what I had to hand. Bit of faffing to make the 70mm Italian Ultegra external road bb take the mountain chainset.
RC31 420mm a-c fork
DT 240 Hugi hubs on Mavic X517s
XTR m952 v-brakes
Saint m800 9 speed shift lever
XT shadow rear mech
SLX cranks with Goldtec 34t ring
12-36 deore cassette
Dura Ace chain
Thomson seatpost 26.8mm
Hope stem 110mm with 5 degree rise, 31.8mm clamp
Race Face Deus XC 31.8mm bars
Ritchey WCS ergo foam grips
Prologo Nag Pas ti rail saddle
FSA Orbit headset
Eggbeaters
Nokon and XTR cables
Michelin dry tyres run tubeless with Stans rim strips.
Not the lightest frame but the bike feels light and I reckon it's going to be springy as a lamb.
