This was in the 90's one of my favorites bicycles. I've been looking for one new or in perfect condition, for a long time. And it was in 2018 when I have found it in Germany.
It looks great in the advertisment, but have some parts changed: The stem

and a cheap seat. It looks like some one was using this bicycle as a city bike and was not very confortable riding it.

The price was very high but it looks good, so I bought it. After some problems with the shipment, the bicycle arrives in Portugal in a city 200 km away from where it worked in that moment and I called DHL and I told them I would go to pick it up.
So after a trip in a foreign country I picked it up. At first I did not like what I saw. But with some wrenches, a little soap, oil and a few weeks of dedication and patience, the truth is that I really had hit the mark. It starts to looks very good this projet. I started to love it.

All this time, about 7 months, I have been buying a new saddle ( a NOS flite ti) and one friend give me a fantastic stem. I have boutgh new tires, maxxis flyweight inner tubes, some aluminium screws bottle cages, new brake pads, new wire system and the control tech handlebar couplings and that is all. Well I have a NOS Manitou Mach 5 and new elastomers so I will try it.
The original seat post was in very bad condition, so I bought one new but it was 27.2 . So I have now a seat post in two tones
My main problem is space, but I have been lucky enough to solve it. Today I have started to assemble the bicycle. This weekend I will finish it ... I hope.
