1994 Diamond Back Axis - Rescue Build a.k.a. Guest Bike

SFP

Dirt Disciple
Saw an ad on Marketplace for "Must buy all, take all" add for $50.xx CDN.

What caught my eye was the set of obviously a pair of custom Mavic 26" rims on XT hubs that looked barely used.

The photos sucked but I could see enough to see Diamond Back on the downtube of the bike with the mavic rims. No seat post, no seat.

That was enough for me to offer buy.

When I got there to pick it up, I saw that it was a 1994 Diamond Back Axis. And the other bikes I had to take with me.

Could not believe my luck.

Full XT.... the real deal... True Temper TT-Lite tubeset.... I had scored big time.

15.5 inch size (from centre of sloping tube to centre of BB). 21.5" top tube. Perfect for a "Guest Bike"

These photos prove the that fact I am in deed single...lol - When was the last time your wife let you clean a chain over the kitchen sink eh?

As it is mostly XT, not much to change. It will be built up as a road/city/paved trails bike for friends to ride.
