Big thanks to 'gerryattrick' for getting me this one and 'Harryburgundy' for posting it to me! :D

It's the bike in this thread here >>>

viewtopic.php?f=1&t=272753

and a different one to this one here >>>

viewtopic.php?t=92090&highlight=tibolt

I've just stripped it all down so far. It looks like it's previous owner maybe didn't care for it much and was just used as a commuter. The Campag headset was the indexed type :? , odd shifters, odd brakes, weirdly fitted X-lite ti seat bolt, big seat etc...

I'm not sure at the mo whether it'll have DX, XT or XTR.

Here's the pics >>>

It felt that once you got rid of all the shite it would be pretty light

Looking forward to see how it develops.
