Hi all
I used to love these bad boys as a lad there was nothing quite like the e-stay design to evoke the "cool" admiring glances! My mate had the cro-mega variety and I loved to ride it...so good on the uphills. So when I saw this one I thought I'd have a punt it was close to me and a good price. The frame hasn't suffered any of the dreaded cracking all its all working as should. Although it needs a bloody good clean! All seems original although the tyres are not.
I knew it would be but its way too small for me at 17.5" So I guess I'll probably break it and keep a few bits for myself. Shame as it looks sweet! I'll be on the lookout for a larger one for sure...
One question for all the experts out there...The front mech? I have not seen a design like it (bandless bolted to the frame). Can this mech fit other frames or was it made specifically for this frame design?
All thoughts comments gratefully received!
