Black XT 730/731/732/734/735 stuff

[Haaland]

I have and have seen some black XT 730/731/732/734/735 stuff. The hubs and crankset is well known, but also the all black cassette and the all black thumbies - they are awesome. Maybe there were som all black derailleurs as well?

Anyone that know the history behind these? Were they offered retail or just fitted on bikes? Special order? Which year did they produce them?

Enlighten me!

There was also some black M700 components.

True, I have the black m700 thumbies on my Fat Chance. I know about the black hubs and brake levers as well - maybe even black cantis.

Re:

Defo canti’s, I had some. They also did other group sets in black with Saracen often fitting them in the early 90’s.

Does anyone have info on the all black 732 thumbies?
