You jammy b*gger . That full early XT groupset really takes me back. Great find and well done for saving it!

The things some people throw away! Can't believe that you got the Farmer John + Cousin tyre combo too.

Very nice.

Lovely

89 Diamond Backs are awesome

I had the Ascent Ex from the same year and had the same problem with the forks washing out.. I also put it down to the 150mm stem i had fitted

Can i say how cool a Turbo saddle would look on it and maybe a M-730 XT seatpost in black?

Love it by the way

What a lovely bike. Some folks must need their bumps felt. Fancy throwing that away. The tyres might be retro but I seem to recall they aren't much cop on wet grass! I still have the scars.

That is SERIOUSLY cool... except for your seat position & angle...

Great find. Other people's tips are clearly a lot better than mine. I wasn't going to mention the seat setup, but someone else has

This sounds odd, but I don't suppose you've still got/would like to get rid of the rack that was on it? I could do with one for my townie ;-)
