1991 Scott Windriver touring conversion

Just to show my '91 Scott Windriver, and how good early mtb's are as touring conversions. Bought the bike used for 75 EUR to leave it at my in-laws whenever we visit. But when planning a long trip in South America, I wanted a reliable bike that I could also leave behind at the end (I hate paying airplane fees and the stress of last minute packing). So I did a deep bike overhaul, changed the drivetrain to 3x8 with lower gearing, swapped the rear wheel for a heavy duty one (and 135mm spaced instead of the original 130mm), mounted quality racks and added a bunch of touring related accesories.

This is the result:
