The general rule of thumb is no. Hahanna's and Fire Mountains used basic Tange with a more slack geometry, Lava Dome's and Cinder Cone's a better set and "normal" geometry, Explosif and such super-duper tubing.
Whilst the X1 kit isn't great it's rare so high on the geek factor. Here was mine I had a while back:

Couple of updates as few parts arrived durin the week,
Un55 bottom bracket
Shimano chain
Dx hubs laced to araya rm17 rims
Shimano cassette
Bottle cage
Zmax tyres
Just need pedals and cable up and she good to go. Dying to go out on this, will still be on the look out for some suitable suntour wheels, but for the time being this'll do.

Thanks, I like the xc ltd, however temporally pairing up with a shimano cassette may be interesting :shock:
Back in the day I had a 1990 cindercone with xcltd grouppo and I liked it back then, next project is a 1990 cindercone, bought the frame and forks off here, but an gonna splatter dx on it.
I have the cables to fit this afternoon, ordered a new cable guide for under the bb off eBay last night as forgot about that !
Not happy with the white joe murray sticker on the top tube so will try to sort that out, maybe a silver post I am thinking but not sure yet, and think that's about it
Then out for a spin...........

Well you certainly need to make sure the hole is filled otherwise you'll end up with a knackered BB very quickly. Also the cable guide won't be secured properly.
