Fantastic condtion-a few scrapes and some grime here and there but nothing major. Exceptional mechanical condition, I rode it for a bit after I cleaned it up-shifts are crisp and the brakes worked a lot better than I expected considering the pads are original. Neat frameset with curved stays and a double ovalized down tube. Cool cable routing as well with the top-pull front derailleur.

8-speed Gripshift, STX-RC crankset (nice shape) and cantis, black LX hubset and RD. This parts combo is bulletproof and I personally love the silver finish on the STX-RC bits. Tires are original Ritcheys! Judging by the lack of wear on the cassette and brake pads, this thing was rarely used.

Note that the seatpost is not extended to the 'MAX' line as pictured, there is a bit more to go.

The only difference I can see from this list is the saddle, everything else is original to the bike. You'll need a chain and a very slight true on the wheelset.

Size is difficult to judge because of the slope on the top tube and the high BB shell/curved stays. As pictured, the distance from the top of the seat (not seat tube) to the ground is 98cm. A horizontal 'virtual' top tube measures 56cm from the center of the head tube to the center of the seatpost. The frame looks smaller than it feels, but it's still on the small side.
