This wee beast was collected at Drumlanrigg from a kind retrobiker called Sheffield- cheers mate. Seem to have fallen in love with this late eighties period which is weird as I got into the scene latter but no matter.
It is really in great nick, was going to touch it up but as it's Al will leave it as god intended. It is one of the 46'ers and I am really intrigued to see how she rides, think she may be a nibble climber but with a mule like kick on the rocky descents
Strange mix of components as it has campag shifters, seatpost and rear der with a mavic bottom bracket (the BB has been properly reamed however the threads do look ok so not sure why this was done?) suntour xc 9000 front der., hubs and roller cams but with shimano levers.
Does not correspond to any of the catalogues I have seen but it could have been a European sold one? The decals are wrong to but paint seems orig. And kind of wondering on the forks as it does not have the additional leafs on top that the catalogue bikes have, it is smooth, is this a replacement? Any knowledge on this era and bike would be cool fellas.
Trying to resist the period correctness monkey wispering in my ear as that way garage queeness lies :twisted:
Might be able to track down the campy chainset and beartrap pedals along with handlebars but will need to make the usual offering to the retro goddess later. Will also need some grips any suggestions?
