My most recent Ebay purchase: an AMP B4 in pretty great condition, needs a paint job and a good cleaning but other than that its sweet.
Came with a set of D-1 disc brakes, a full LX M-565 group, a Thompson elite post and control tech bar and stem. The rims along with the main frame have been painted red so I'm not sure, but I think the rims look like mavic 217s. A pair of oddly out of place Alpine Star stickers on the seatmast round out the sale.
For a 10 year old bike that looks relatively unserviced it rides, shifts and stops remarkably well. I adjusted the rear brake pads out to stop them rubbing but thats it.
I must admit that this bike was never really on my top ten list but I was driven to seek one out after finding a front D-1 brake, hub, rotor set NIB in my shop and was really curious how they would work. That new brake went to MOMBAT and now I'm left with this monstrosity of a bike and nothing to do with it. Most probably I'll ride it around for a bit perhaps repaint it and throw it up on here or on The Bay.
