Well, it's my first Retro Road Bike... so be gentle...

I found this bike on Marktplaats. And as I already have the mountainbike version I would like to try the road version...
I only had to replace the wheelset and rear derailleur to make it almost original. I didn't got to testdrive it yet....

Cheers,
Will

nice this was one of my dream bikes in the 90/s along with the giant cadex and the trek 2300 ,i say dream cause even in the 90/s they were over a grand which i could nt afford.
there was always talk about repairs in the event of an accident compared to a steely.
my own view about repair costs is anything can be written off whatever the material.
nice paintwork too mostly seen shiny burgundy ones.

Wow, from the first year they made those. Very nice and close to catalogue spec too (just missing white handlebar tape and white hoods)
