Was looking for a bike to rehab for my son-in-law, and came across this for a good price. I bought it. Just curious what it was I bought, exactly.
Appears to have RS Indy fork, which I understand came out in '97. As for the frame, based on color, groupset (STX) and the threaded headset, I was thinking '95, maybe? Most likely an aftermarket fork, no?
True Temper OX double butted, according to the sticker. Way I look at it, that was worth the price of admission. Fact it's tuned up and running well is a bonus.
I have enough parts to build up from bare frame, but I dunno. I've read STX is nothing to scream about, but it works. All it needs is some powdercoat really, and whatever seat and bars he wants. Some polish. And a fork of course. May slap a Stridsland in there; dying to see one of those in person
