Evening,
I’m waiting for a German eBay delivery - in it should be an 89 Wicked covered in some tarty bits. I thought I’d try to do my homework before it arrived... thanks in advance for any help.
Serial number is 07489W - this does tie up to 89, doesn’t it?
Forks are a Tange Switchblade - I think it ties in for period...ish, but I assume it wasn’t sold with the frame? Does anyone have any thoughts there?
Bars are way out, Azonic risers, and the stem is a Syncros - already had some info here, should be a Fat bar and a Salsa.
Cook’s Quality Products ‘arrowhead’ cranks - I think they’re a year or three younger than the frame?
Paul Components, it’s got a canti at the back but a motolite V at the front. Old font in the logo so pre 94ish I think?? has anyone got any wisdom on the year the V’s were released?
Kooka Rachas - these are about right date wise, aren’t they?
Original build - I think it should be dripping in M732 XT? With the possibly Magura levers? Any tips there would be handy.
Not quite sure which direction this is going in... but it’ll be interesting to see what state it’s in when it gets here. If it’s really nice, I may go original, if it’s a bit shabby then I’ll go chasing ride quality at the expense of originality I guess. Either way... excited!!!
