£1200 Brand NOS maybe then I reckon if other information has come from websites then so too has the price which is fair enough if you are talking role out off shop new but after that time and mods. The forks for example on the early 90's Apex I am guessing would have all been rigid blade and...

you knows your APEXeses Wow you got this nailed down. So you reckon if I sit tight on less than £100-£150 I will bag it? I am growing more and more to want this as I had an Ascent a while back and wanted the APEX as it looked cleaner. Yes the APEX on Bikepedia is a an APEX SE so not...

Must be wrong year then Defo TT lite as I asked the fella for photo of seat tube and it has genuine TT Lite with eagle head decal. Not the sort of thing found easily to forge and if you were going to forge it I reckon you could convince a moron the brushed Cr-Mo is Ti. Guess he got it wrong...
