WimVDD's Scott Team Racing 1995

Another one I built to quench my nineties Scott appetite.

Pretty much the same feel as my 1993 Pro Racing but the RS Judy XC adds some comfort on rougher terrain.

Some data:

Frame: Scott team Racing (Scott Liteflite tubing - suppose it's Tange or Ritchey)
Forks: RS Judy XC
Headset: Tioga Alchemy
Stem: Ritchey
Bars: Scott AT 2
Groupset: Shimano XT M 737
Seatpost: Onza Pro (Easton Taperwall)
Saddle: Flite Evolution Carbon
Rims: Ritchey Rock 415
Tyres: Michelin Wildgripper X Sport

Peachy’s 1984 Claud Butler Canyon

So, it’s January 1985… I’m 16 & I’ve saved some money from working all Christmas at M&S, my Stepmother has made sure I only received cash from Santa..
What’s it going to be? A brand-new Claud Butler Canyon or a 2nd hand Yamaha “Fizzie”, boots, helmet & insurance? No contest really..

Well roll on 35 years, early May and my Stepmother, now 92 succumbs to CV19.
My Brother tells me we will all be getting a small inheritance but that he’d promised Mum he’d make sure we’d do our best to spend it on something memorable.. so on the 12th of May I see that Solo is selling a complete M700 Deerhead groupset NOS/NIB… and I started thinking maybe my Canyon restoration (which was stumbling along whilst I tried to find catalogue correct parts) could possibly be that memorable thing..
I missed out on that full group set, but Solo and a few others as far away as Canada, Germany & California helped me pull this lot together, I hope you like it.
Cheers June…rest in peace

Thanks, but I’m just happy adding another flavour to the comp.... Happy Father’s Day :D
