Ohh interesting, I've taken a bottom bracket out of one of these before, (in fact the one from you Ed, was quite fun really). The skill came in useful later on to get one out a Trek 7000. It doesn't look too bad and shouldn't take too long to get out without damaging the threads. A quick spin with some steel cups should fit the starting threads that may be damaged.
Frame looks the same as mine, 3rd batch so 1992 model.

What a mess, tho it may be worth a bid..... :?:

XTR bits then an Alivio chainset is an interesting pairing up tho :roll:

Hopefully he'll spend the proceeds on some sort of spell-check!

Looks like it had cantis too which would be right for it's age, but add says it has V's :?

why initialy irritating, it is most satifying to get the job done. Probably most so than finishing the build itself.
Which reminds me I must get aorund to getting another Suntour XC Comp-MD LH crank arm and get it riding again.
