Thanks, I'm stoked to be here! Started this journey with very little knowledge of this whole community! Learned a good bit of what to look for too.
Worst case scenario I have myself a fun bike that I didn't spend a lot on!
Recently acquired a 1990 Alpinestars AL Mega XT. I believe it is a size large (seat tube is 54 and top tube is 56). It has original parts and I put a Dart and Smoke combo on it. No cracks upon inspection. I did right it today and it's a pretty sweet bike actually, even if just as a gravel bike...
