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

Am loving this and a whole bunch of other nominations.

Thanks. Indeed there are a lot of fantastic bikes this month and it could have been a "special month" with "titanium" as a subject as well. The Fat is great but reminds me too much of the guys for whom racing was more about the bike you had than how fast you could ride one. :mrgreen: So that one's out. The GT is great but the Kent floats 100% my boat.

I've had the opportunity of seeing that Fat Chance, the photos don't do it justice. One absolutely stunning bike, we definitely need a titanium special BOTM.

Re:

TMG74’s 1995 GT Tequesta

I love this bike - just don’t see paint jobs like that on bikes nowadays.

Only finished it yesterday and the best it’s looked since new so worthy to be entered in the June comp.

Re:

Nice GT

Those bars look really huge (long) in the second pic :shock:

Extra points for the wheel reflectors!

Re:

Thanks yeah those bars do look huge don't they - they're not tho just the lens on the phone stretching them out!

I nearly ditched the reflectors but hey they're original and probably the rarest item on the bike

Well done with the GT.

Clucking bell there’s some winners in this month.

The standard of builds is insane!
