1991 Alpinestars Cro-Mega

Alpinestar Cromega LX T26

I happened to stumble into this website for vintage/classic MTB and was really impressed with what you guys have. I was particularly interested in the Alpinestar and as such, decided to set out and hunt for one. Guess I was in luck when a guy put up an ad during Christmas time. He got it NOS for his son but the boy only interested in BMX. He got no choice but to sell it as he already has several bikes. Do check out the pics and feel free to give me your comments.
Cheers and happy 2012!

Hi and welcome to Retrobike, looks like a very nice buy you have there.

You would be better asking any questions in the main chat thread though.

hi these started manufacture in 91/92, remember seeing them in the brochure when i bought my cromega lx which is the exact same colour scheme as this bike, but not sure what they are called, i will try to find out, i think they were called the T series, but not 100%, they did several versions including a full suspension model

Its been over a year since I last took the Cro-Mega out for a ride and to be honest I had forgotten what I was missing, its had a couple of changes recently with some period correct wheels, a comfier Rolls saddle and a nos Xt headset.
