Ok, took a couple of pics yesterday chaps .
after a quick clean it appears to be all deore II except for the DX sti , not too bad condition either still got the original wolber/saracen AT20 rims , saddle has no rips and it still has one of the farmer johns up front as well.
I added the DX comp pedals after but I do have some original Deore II Huge beartraps that need a serious resto job that should go great with this.
:idea: Do we think the Sti should go in favour of thumbies :?: , I think the Sti were probably an upgrade :? from the original thumbies :!:
Sorry about the first picture quality, I used the camera phone and must have shivered , I will get a better photo soon

Dunno, need to take it to the council tip weigh bridge
Trekker 1990?
Delight in your passion for what was my first ever mnt.bike ...any particular reason? Would of thought a fillet brazed Killi flyer was the one to seek out, rather than the humble trekker...
the turquosie model =1988
the grass green =1989
the black =1990
according to test in MBUK (Vol.1no.3) it weighed 28 1/2 lbs!!! (that inc. saddle with springs, monster wide handle bars, and rear mech protector).
not that I'd know as at the time I always got me Dad to lift the thing over styles and gates etc.
awesome bikes, lovely colour, (kinda like a YETI blue but not quite) seen below in various states of MBUK / Derek Purdy inspired action during late 80s brillant spec deore / deore xt...super solid bikes (although I had to get the steerer tube straightened a few times...), nice touches were the investment cast unicrown forks
