I have 2 of these so this one has to go. It is an original spec bike as it was bought from the shop in California in 1996 by the original owner who I bought the bike off last year. (See sticker in photo.)
It comes with Manitou Answer Mach 5 forks as specified by the owner when he bought it, these work well, the elastomers are good, the stanchions are unmarked, as are the gaiters which I still have, I took them off when I serviced the forks and forgot to put them back on and thought they look better without!.
XT mechs and hubs, LX cantis with the original LX pads, Mavic rims, 517 front and 717 rear. Original twist grip shifters and levers. Specialized saddle with no rips and Specialized tyres (not sure if original).
I have not stripped and serviced the bike so it still needs work doing to get it perfect, there are marks of use on the frame but no dents that I can see. It is is very straight and honest bike and it just needs a new home.
Sizing is 19 inches centre crank to top of seat tube and 23 inches c2c top tube. It's just a tad small for me at 6ft 3".
I really do not wish to dismantle, package and post this bike so collection is preferred or a possible meeting halfway to hand over.
I have lots more pictures if you need to see anything specific.
I'm thinking £175 is not too much to ask but these days who knows?
