Bought in 1990 from Dales Cycles ,Glasgow - Giant Super Sierra - Deore XT plus extras....£550
Looked after, cared for and serviced from time to time. Frequently the cycle repairers would comment on this bike and got excited about its build quality - stainless steel and cro/mo frame not to mention the exceptional braking and 21 speed gears by Shimano.
I now appreciate what a terrific buy it was back then and have attached photos to confirm the above points.
