1997 frameset, reportedly with factory retro-installed disc mount and later ‘99 factory decals. Ti brake studs.
Fox F100 RLC forks, travel reduced to 80mm
Chris King headset with ti crown race
Mostly XT m739 gears / brakes (apart from the cassette)
XT Hollowtec crankset
XT hubs on Mavic XC717 rims (possibly with ti axles)
Controltech carbon bars
Controltech stem
Ritchey carbon seat post
Ritchey grips

The person I bought it from didn’t tell me the BB shell had been repaired using a threaded insert
The insert shifted slightly with a normal BB, so I Loctite’d it in and used a through-axle chainset, I’ve had no problem since.
It gets ridden once a year tops, I need to raise funds so it has to go.
Looking for £1,000
