For sale is my frinds, Heinz, Bontrager Race Lite 17" (see sizing below). It can sell as a frame, frameset or complete XT bike. Before you cry out fo pics: these will come later tonight!

Heinz is the original owner and has had the frame from around 1995. Sold in 1997 (original sales document is avaliable). The frame has history in terms of Danish mountainbiking. It won the first ever unofficial downhill race (platforms and Wellingtons style!) and have been ridden with power and style a number of places in europe over the years. XC and what we now know as all mountain ---- what we back then just know as mountainbiking! The last 5-7 years it has been haning in my warm garage where I have used many hous to inspect it over a espresso, grappa or ale. To sum it all up: A well taken care off frame with owne ower - but always raced.

The frame has a lot of scratches and places where paint has come of due to use. But it has NO dents (not even smaller ones), and NO cracks. It got a flush of some rust prevention back in the days before it as build up. Structually it is prfectly sound but cosmetically it shows its history.

Re: Bontrager Race Lite 17" -

Add updated with more information on sizing and some adjustment. Seems its a 95 (or 96 model) sold in 1997.

Wheelset sold
 
Re:

It's definitely a pre Trek, 95 or earlier with the full complement of gussets and telescopic rear stays, 97 would have been a Privateer.
Has it been re painted? Just Paint looks thin and chipped badly and the Paint on Original Bonty's was usually very tough.

Thanks for helping on with the estimation of year. I am also in no doubt that is is a real Bontrager with all its gussets, thin/thick seat stays etc. And paint (or whats letft of it) is most definatly original. It has just been used quite a lot and we (as you in the UK) do see a lot of mud... I dont think it is before 1994/5 based on the year of sale and my knowledge of import of Bontragers to Denmark.

As the Wheels are now sold I striped it from some parts... hanging ready for shipment among its good friends in the garage.
