Devout Dirtbag
I have owned this https://picasaweb.google.com/1040663640 ... SNhOnm7AE# from new (1992). The frame was replaced in 1993 under warranty with the “ovalized” tube version.
It is a 21” frame. The size looks to come from the measurement from the centre of the bottom bracket to the very top of the seat tube (see below).
In good condition for it’s age - there are some scratches as you would expect. Not used off road for a long time – a “commuter” in recently years! It rides really well and is nice and light.
It's still in fairly original spec. (it had a Sun Tour top pull front changer from new) with DX thumb shifters and Hot Rod bars, Selle Italia Turbo saddle and 130mm quill stem (I do have a rare Roox 1 ¼” steerer converter to enable changing to an A-head stem system available by negotiation). Pedals are Sun Tour XC Comp with Mt Christophe toe clips with orange Mt Christophe straps.
The following upgrades/replacement of parts that wore out have been made;
Brakes changed to Shimano “V’s” long ago.
Wheels were replaced about 4 years ago with a new pair (LX hubs and Mavic 317 rims).
Chain rings replaced (small - with a TA Specialities - and middle) and bottom bracket cartridge about 6 years ago, and it is running a close ratio road cassette.
Long cage DX rear shifter renewed about 6 years ago.
Dimensions;
Top tube (CTC) – 23”,
Seat tube (CTC of top tube) – 19 ¾“
Head tube – 5 ½“
Yours for £285. Viewing is fine. Collection or I can post it.
