I’ll enter as I’ve only just finished bolting this together so it’s fresh in my mind and I’ll forget to enter otherwise. Not catalogue correct at all and no concours bike by any means. But I’m happy with it.

For your consideration HuskyDinoBombers 1991 Diamondback Axis XT complete stock and original. More of a wash thread than a build thread

Will buying it FROM the original owner count?

The Conquest is just lovely, but doesn't seem to me to meet the "original owner" eligibility criterion?
If strictly applied I doubt that there will be many entrants.
