Man on Wire: 1995 Slingshot

Corduroyboy · Jul 30, 2025

The ‘rings on those Revolutions hint at the groupset I wanted to use. 1995 was the swan song year for Suntour XC Pro, so will still probably run it, with a possible change of brakelevers:

Looking nice, those bullseyes are great hubs, smoothest I ever owned.

1995 seems to be a transition year for Selle Italia’s iconic Flite saddle. The beloved and highly treasured red logo gave way to white. So red it is:

Flite mounted to the original 31.6mm x 425mm Syncros ’post but

with a more suitable ’94+ 3rd gen cradle and top clamp:

Well that's going to look utterly spectacular.

I was actually going for "Truly Extraordinary" as per the first post but I guess that will have to suffice.

Watching with interest. I picked up a 1993 Slingshot (similar to yours - which was the first year of bigger DIA and more extended seat tube and taller/more gusseted head tube FIR increased lateral stiffness. I pefer the look of the 1992 and earlier frames, but super, super happy to have found one and with original straight bladed forks!

Proper posh build this one! Great choice of components.
