That makes it even more awesome. Nice find!
1992 Roberts Black Leopard
- Thread starter Tsundere
- Start date
It's done.
It's 90% original, the only changes are the Headset, left the Mavic fitted as it's great and matches the rims, plus the saddle, tyres, stem, inner cables, brake blocks and grips.
Took it for its first ride this morning, amazing ride, it reminds me a lot of the white spider, but that was just a bit small for me, this is a much better fit, and of course the XTR is a lot nicer than the DX/XT I had on that.
Went with the grey flite in the end, I like the fact that it's date stamped 92 like the bike and it matches the grey of the XTR outer cables. Eventually this will be set up for touring and will be my steed for a few planned treks later this year.
