Hi,
Just looking at these older posts.I feel for the lad who had his pinched,Digitalpikey.I have one of these bikes.Its awsome fair play but getting on a bit now.I have just had it serviced,new chain cassette and gear cables.Ive also replaced the original XT thumb shifters for a more modern rapid fire shifter.Its all XT and Ritchey with Mag 21 forks.I have had it for nearly 18 years and havent really used it that much.It was locked away for about 8 years while I recovered from a back injury.I have used it recently but not really much,just bombing up the canal.I changed the shifters just for convenience really but still have the thumb shifters.Everything is original except the chain etc .There are a few scratches and areas of wear.The laquer is worn in areas but it is in fairly good condition for its age.I am thinking of selling it as I would like to get into mountain biking and I dont want to risk damaging this bike.I did compete in a cyclocross race last month but decided it wouldnt be fair to use it again (its an old man at the end of the day).Anyway there she is.If anybody wants one I may sell mine.Id be very sad to see it go though so Im not going to give it aaway.
