Hello all
My 92’ Superlite is all back up and running.
As with all my efforts so far I know it won’t be to everyone’s taste but it’d be boring if we were all the same etc etc.
This was bought as a partially up-graded complete bike when I couldn’t afford to do one from scratch.
I’d like to fully XT it and find the right pedals but it’s now looking more as I want it:
Scott Superlite 1992
Mag 21 forks
Hope Ti wheelset (miss-matched, I believe, with the wrong stickers)
XT Rear mech
LX Front mech (I think)
XT M095 shifters
Magura HS11 brakeset
LX crankset (I think)
Ritchey stem (original?)
EA 70 Monkey bars (not quite right but I had them in the shed and I couldn’t get on with the Formula flat bar that it came with)
Pink lock-ons to match the frame (I know…)
Generic seatpost
Scott saddle (original?)
Mix of purple and fluro yellow cable outers
Tyres?
This is a pretty rough and ready bike and will get tidied up over time. That said I find it really charming in its current state, maybe it the hang over 80’s colour scheme?
It feels like a bike that was built to a decent spec in its era (and ridden) that’s been lifted and dropped into 2013 as opposed to a neat repro job.
Anyway here are the pictures you retro fiends:
