saw this on ebay and with being gate sized..............had to have it :twisted:
reminised for a week remembering the old catalogue scans and how "outdoors and rugged" they sold to me as. original plan was to swap the lx for some nice dx but......................it is far nicer than i expected!!!
as was when i got back from riding clipstone (bike was near worksopso rude not to)
only differences from catalogue spec are the saddle, which is going on the kona stool, tyres that will be used for a future commuter build and..................possibly the inner tubes :shock: everything else is their and in really good condition, just needs a good degrease and clean.
rockshox rs1's. always wanted a set. these needed a bit of air so carefully used a footy valve and my shock pump.
upside down maintainance scuffs :facepalm: ti bars though, shame theyre only 560mm
rear light will go on a commuter, eventually
not too worn lx, needs cleaning though, hubs are the same, gold tarnished on the flanges
swapped the saddle for a vetta, tyres for some smoke/dart 2's, sorted the saddle height and lever angles........and went for a ride with the sprog
"daddy, it needs period correct tyres and a seat!"
looking out for some green toe clip straps and i rek ill fit toe clips for normal duties, i have some dx spds for proper rides. feels really long so ill look for a shorter zoom stem.
chuffed to bits with it tbh, looks nice, rides nice and its gate sized!!!!
only definate things ill do are strip and clean the running gear and check the cables
:mrgreen:
