A lucky local find this week. It’s not done many miles at all. I can’t find any chips/dents/scratches/rust on the frame or parts, just needs a good clean and some rusty bolts replacing.
I’m going to remove the Avenir Brahma Bar and Ritchey stem as they are not correct for this model year. I’ll replace with the brochure correct Tioga T Bone and Avenir Handlebar. The Brahma bar was fitted when the original owner purchased the bike new, the 1992 Apex and Axis had these fitted as standard and he wanted a set putting on this 1991 model, which he bought in the sale when the new models arrived in the shop.
It’s been fitted with Tioga City Slicker road tyres, so I’ve ordered a set of (reissue) Panaracer Smoke tyres (which the bike was fitted with from the factory) which should finish it off nicely.
