Thought I would take the opportunity to post a couple pictures of my 93 Karakoram.
I got this in the last two years and have fixed it up. I originally bought a Karakoram in 1988, but I later sold it and I picked this one up to indulge in some nostalgia.
I've a '96 Karakoram, with the 'groove tube', all black but upgraded with red dx v's, rockshox suspension seatpost, mavic D521 rims and RST Mozo Pro 4.5's. All parts class as retro now, I think. Still have the rigid forks and original shifters,canti's etc. I'll post pics later if anyone is interested.
