Too Good To Scrap/Bin??

[Martini-night]

Hello,i was looking online for a new pair of them old shifters Shimano ST-M050/20 Tottal integration..
Then I've seen this Bike for sale for 20£.. i bought the entire bike just to remove the shifters and crankset and bin the rest of the bike..reason is i dont have more space for more bikes..
But this bike lools like its something out of the ordinary?
Its a 90/91 Saracem eiger full shimano LX. Everything is shimano LX even the pedals..
Does anyone got some info on this model as i couldn't find anything online??

Yes - this is too good to scrap or bin. Assuming there is no serious rust, a few hours work could have a great little bike. Certainly a bargain at £20. Wouldn’t doubt that you could easily sell at a tidy profit after a clean / service, if you were that way inclined.

Hi, actually i do agree too, please look for giving this ride a second life

Typical catalogs or price lists don't show a model named "Eiger", but the 1989 "Conquest" or 1990 "Tufftrax Comp" had a pretty identical paintjobs.



Edit, thanks for the hint on the black LX series.
The brochure of the Tufftrax even says 500 LX Chainset with "Special Black Edition". That was new to me!

It had XT components,
but what about the crank on your Eiger? I'm not aware of an black LX variant, just the XT 730 came to my knowledge in black.

Thanks!! I wasn't even aware LX groupset existed that early until i came across this bike... i though the LX groupset came out in 93 or so with 400lx,500lx then LX

BTW: i was browsing a bit more, if I'm not mistaken, yours should be a Eiger "Team"


There was also another "Eiger" but this was typical blue, and also just like a Tufftrax with different name.

That's a seriously decent frame, it would make a lovely off-road tourer.
