Re:
Apart from the frame/fork there is nothing original. The paint is actually in pretty good condition.
Luckily I have most of the bits needed - Avocet saddle, XC Pro, bars etc the only parts I need are some Timbuk IIs and that bleeping stem. According to the spec it is a Nitto MT-66, never seen one so going to have to improvise....
Agree on the paint - the pictures I've seen look like a grey colour but the brochure says black with three colour splatter which it is - the pics are a pretty close to the actual colour - the good thing is that the matt black base will make it relatively easily to replicate the splatter on the stem.
