Hi,
I'm new here, I just thought I'd put this up here first before gumtree or eBay.
I'm a bike mechanic & got hold of this at the shop where I work, because the frame and forks look cool more than anything.
I was going to build this up as a project, but now I'm moving so it has to go as part of the clear out.
Looks like it was used for a while then left to sit in a shed instead of being repaired until now (lots of cobwebs).
When I got it the seatpost was torn off, likely in an attempt to unseize it. I've cut it down to the seat tube, cut a new clamp
slot in it & it now works as a shim for a 26.8mm seatpost, which is also included.
All the bearings will need grease, or replacement. Cables not fitted.
Seems to have original parts:
> Deore XT front mech & shifters.
> Rear mech, is either xt or lx (I've already boxed up the bike, and the mech is covered in oodles of cardboard.
> Pace mx30? carbon forks. approx 40-50mm of travel, feel smooth, not loose.
> Deore LX parralax hubs with mavic 217 SUP rims
> Small range 42-32-22? triple crankset, can confirm if necessary.
> Deore v-brakes with the funny box pivots (see pics)
looking for £180 including postage.
Collection also available, I'm based London.
Seatpost when I got the bike:

Looks like there is a gap between the post and the tube on the right in the pic, but it's just a shadow on the inside of the seat tube. The 26.8mm post fitted fine.
