90s Hercules Arizona Cromoly So, early 90-s ATB by Hercules, model Arizona. Looks like standard not ambitious 80-s all-round with comfy angles ( seattube and stem). Fork has long rake, which proves to be pretty good for a city with hundred paved streets, which life in. Moreover, all that...

Peaceful mindset

Heavy Tools Alu-Pro 1992-93 Mine was restored from original and painted, my newly printed decals.

Certainly post 92 frame, possibly Mc Pro. Cause earlier models, like I’ve had, were 1 inch non oversized tubes with brakes cable stops on seat tube lugs. Definitely or of the best made and lightest of that time - mine 58 size weighting at 1830grams.

Like this colour, sorta Irish green. Don’t know this brand, stats are pretty. You could probably take off crankset to see whether bb is French or Italian size.

Also fan of Suntour stuff, especially XC Pro.

Busy days in Ukraine, everybody became warrior in his struggle for freeing our land. But also we struggling to retain our professonalism and to do one’s best in their own area. I’m a classical musician, have love with bikes, mainly because of a classicly constructed technology, full of cycling...

Thanks for your feedback!

So, will start a project with this frame, restoring components meanwhile.

Hi there, it’s time to introduce my everydays bike. Hope it will be useful. I’m old mtb fan, though i’ve rode several non retro bikes. Longest was 6 years on 2006 Giant XTC with different model, from disc to cantis, from Ritchey carbon to cromo triple-butted fork ( which I really prefer most)...

This frame is exactly the same build as mine, only decals were ruined with time, but in the same places as this. The Alu pro sticker leaved visible traces on the top tube. I have original decals, so considering use them on restoration.

Thanks for your reply. I’ve found this thread once through Google, a bit earlier. https://www.retrobike.co.uk/threads/1993-heavy-tools-alu-pro-limited-edition-frameset-deore-xt.294942/

Hi everybody. Does anybody accustomed with Heavy Tools alu frames and their serials? I have one, which build very close to 1995 Alu Pro, including drop-outs. I’ve searched in the network, found one catalog photo, but no live models so far. Also seemed to look like Scott, but different eyelets...

Congrats! Always believed i a win! )) Looks cool and makes style full of senses.
