Lets see more pics!

So yours is full XT? Interesting.
I think the 91 catalog has it as a full Suntour XC Pro bike, though you're right about Neds (from the 90 Worlds anyway). Though Ned's bar/stem combo was Litespeed.

Mine is all original as well (so far as I can tell)...but with the full M900 XTR build which wasn't until 1992. Not sure what happened there.

Very subtle bikes for what they are!

Yes, I just wanted a mixture of the catalogue optic and Overends technique :)

I´m not so happy with the upload of photos here on RBUK (512kb max.) ... The first photo has oval wheels...
 
Re:

thats pretty cool but why go to the trouble of having titanium lugs and steel tubes...why not just go full ti..
