Great work. The black 1992 model remains on my hit list

I'm interested in why you'd prefer the 1992 to the 1993. Is it more iconic for you or have you ridden them both and prefer that one?

Purely based on nostalgia and memories. I saw that one first (obviously) and loved the matt black finish

That makes sense, the matt black was really nice. I now wish I'd ridden the '92 I had a bit more before moving it on.

Just had a look at your thread. Do you still have your 93? Looks great

I'm more of a quill that ahead type of guy too - so old in other words

Yes, the '93 survived the big cull as my go to off road bike, but unfortunately I can't ride it at the moment as I don't have a (the right) 27.0mm seat post, which was required after the mix up between the Corrado and Richter frames.

If I remember correctly, the '93 Corrado frame is the same as the '92 Richter ..... hmmm, now I'm doubting myself about that. I'll have to check later.

Managed to get a few more bits together still really Thinking of taking it the retromod route maybe 1x10 not made my mind up yet there was a 27.2 seatpost in it originally but I am got to get that checked
