1996 Scapin Dedacciai 18MCDV6HT

Good Morning

Another moutain bike I have that I love riding is my 1996 scapin, it started with frame that I bought at a bikeshop in Paris and then decided to have it built à la carte. Mavic XM819 rims, DT240S hubs, Continental Mountain King tires and full XT 780T Transmission and pedals.

Weight is 10.4kilos which is very respectable for a 18 years old bike. Very comfy, responsiveand lightweight, it is a great riding bike.

Have a nice day

Very best regards and stay safe

Georges

Thank you for the welcome, I have several other mountain bike as well as road project in the works. Scapin back in the days used to make high quality steel MTB frames , they stopped in the mid 2010's to make these.

Still have this laying about. 1990(1)?
No original paint, I think these were white and some pastel colours like they did in the 90's.

Do you know what model it is? The details don't look right for that era Scapin to me.

They were white but also yellow had some white and blue colored ones. Your example is probably from 1990 if fitted with the U Brakes on the chain stays .Mine was probably repainted

Did you check the serial on the BB shell on yours? That should confirm the year. I remember yours is post u-brake.

My model is the same model than this one Scapin Pro Race ZR No original paint and no more scapin stickers but it shares the same geometry and same tubing.

Scapin Pro Race ZR

The dropouts, cable routing and presence of a canti bridge don't match any of the year's ZRs that I have seen.
