Retro Newbie
Well,
Where do I start?
If you are reading this, you are aware of the rarity of this bike. So much so there hasn't been one come up for sale worldwide in over 5 years, and this is questionable THE best condition bike for its age you will ever see. From the glorious paintwork, vibrant and deep hues of green, to the perfectly functioning Shimano groupset. Everything does exactly what it should, and puts most modern bikes to shame!
I really cannot stress enough how rare this bike is. This is one of THE first mountain bikes EVER built, so much so that some of the parts pre-date dedicated MTB group sets from Shimano, and are borrowed and modified from their touring range.
Please see the pictures for condition ad although it is very good, there are various marks, scratches and mic or aesthetic corrosion to various items, as you would expect on a bike that is 31 years old!
The Spec;
3Rensho Super Record Export
Dimensions:
Seat tube (Centre of BB to top of Seat tube)
Top tube (centre of seat tube to centre of head tube)
Head tube
Wheelbase
Lovely extended head tube design, held in place by a Shimano 600 Arabesque headset; smooth!
One piece 3Rensho handlebar & stem combo, tiny bit of corrosion, but will polish up perfectly.
Shimano Deore triple chainset, with 9/16" pedal adaptions fitted; Suntour Beartrap style pedals + Clips & Straps
Shimano 'Stag/Deer Head' rear derailleur, the one that everyone wants!
Shimano 600 Wide-Range Freewheel
Shimano HB72, 1st generation high-flange, nutted XT hubs, built by hand to Anodized good Araya 26" Rims, wrapped in 26x1.9" Ritchey Force Tyres
Shimano Thumbies
The original Hite-Rite sprung seatpost collar, it actually works!
Jim Blackburn Rear rack, and full length SKS Mudguards.
I would rather the bike was collected, however I will arrange shipping ANYWHERE world, at cost. The bike will be insured, as it really is irreplaceable if anything were to happen during transit.
Please do not hesitate to contact me with any queries you may have.
Bottom line on pricing is £1150, firm. I am based in Sussex, and happy to deliver the bike in person within 50 miles.
