This was the bike id lusted over for years but for some unknown reason never got hold of one until the end of last year.As far as i know i'm the 3rd Retrobike owner as its_kirby had it first and he bought it from a UK GT team rider from the mid nineties.I haven't a clue who that rider would be but anwser's on a post card please It has the diamond or bullet dropouts which are nicely done and much prefer these to the other dropout style.
I'd originally wanted to use the m900 on another frame and put a much more modern m970/m980 on the Xizang but as i go to start just look at it and think it looks just so right and would be a shame to change it.The forks i have to admit still work lovely and the bike has done the Quantock's quite a few time this year already and is hard to believe their 20 years old The finish is a bit patchy in places but i know that happens on all the SL Ti's anyway so im not gonna loose any sleep over it.
Sorry for the iphone pictures :facepalm:
