Overbury's Pioneer '88

[narcotitlan]

Well, this one has changed hands a fair bit but now it's in my hands and I couldn't be happier (thanks Simon!).

Also found a home for the outlandish clamp on Bullmoose.

I've been after a Pioneer for a while, but I always thought this one was too small, though it's the perfect size as it turned out. Very happy chappie. Dia Compe 982 and RC rear will likely stay. Very Cool Tommaselli lever going to be replaced by XT M730. Tyres - on the lookout!

lovely frame but all i can see is the red. Silver would suit it.

Maybe, oury reds to be replaced with oury black at least. Not sure about the bottle cages yet, they're old Specialized ones and I have a soft spot for them, but I do get your point.

Love the colour of this Pioneer.

I’ve lost count of how many times I asked Simon to ditch that Splashback. Please right that wrong soon Joe

well I do agree with that Adrian! Would quite like all black Smoke/dart, but think it’d be a tight fit

That’s what I was looking for - ta! Interesting that it would likely have had Ritchey quads, I’ve actually got a black/tan pair somewhere, hmm...
