Picked this one up a couple of weeks ago. Always wanted a Cirrus and this one had potential for a fun restoration project. Since I'll probably never be able to put my hands on an affordable Yeti Ultimate, I think this is the next best thing in my heart as far as vintage e-stays go, because hey, I'm canadian...
The paint/clear coat or whatever was laid upon the frame originally is in really poor shape, so that is being stripped off. Will be only keeping the rear XT derailleur, possibly the chainrings and the Wolber/Shimano wheels, which I think are original. This won't be a catalog restoration with the Syncros parts and Rock Shox Mag 30. I already have a Manitou 4 in cleaning process that will go on it. Thinking of a black-turquoise-natural alu theme for this one.
