By the way, I have couple NOS Suntour Accushift - gear housings.
Any use of those?

Well, I do have a used set in place already but NOS ones would attract too. Take 'em with you tomorrow and we'll see about those...
 
Did some fine-tuning with the Epic Ultimate: changed the brakes to NOS black Dia-Compe 986s, put on standard shifter cables with NOS SunTour AccuShift outers and changed the chain to SunTour APII XC Pro.

And here's the bike in all its glory:

Consider this baby complete, unless I find somewhere Specialized grips and rims...
 
Thanks to Mr. Inigo Montoya (cheers Philip!), I was able to change a good project to a perfect one:
- Specialized Biotomic grips (NOS)
- Specialized BXL21 rims (NOS)

and then I also found a Suntour XC Pro GG bottom bracket (NOS) for it.
Now the bike is just as it would have been when bought in 1991.
Even the inner tubes and rim tapes are Specialized!



The weight is quite respectable 10.53kg bone stock. So getting well under 10kg is not a tough feat at all.
