I think it's an Eiger

Nice. Thankfully too far to be tempted

Could have been worse...could have been a 1991😉

I stand corrected, I know Shimano went low profile brakes in 1991, and the LX still had road type caliper brake pad fitting. LX was only low profile in 1992, then the new black LX groupset in 1993

What's the catch??? Pictures please....

1990 I think

Looks like it may have had an easy life. https://www.gumtree.com/p/bicycles/saracen-men-s-bike/1496951389

You may be right, the brake pad mounts looks black as they are in XT, but may just be discoloured or rusty.

XT brakes in black👍 Appears all original DX apart from rear mech

Awesome job on that '93 Explosif, black and silver was the dullest colour in the '93 range IMHO. Did I spot an intruder in the Kona sanctuary.... a Marin😯😜

Looking forward to your build👍 and adding it to the "show us your 700c... " Would be temped if one showed up locally to me.

Looks in good condition https://www.gumtree.com/p/bicycles/vintage-specialized-rock-hopper-mountain-bike-18-frame-26-wheels-18-gears-/1496556289
